ONE Championship returns to Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, on May 8 with another explosive lineup as ONE Friday Fights 153 and The Inner Circle fights go down live in Asia primetime.
This action-packed event features international stars from across the globe competing under Muay Thai, MMA, and submission grappling rules — most of whom are battling for a life-changing US$100,000 contract with the world’s largest martial arts organization.
In the main event of ONE Friday Fights 153, Worapon Lukjaoporongtom takes on French newcomer Tom Casse in a bantamweight Muay Thai showdown. Riding back-to-back first-round knockouts, the knee specialist from Buriram brings serious momentum into his clash with Casse, an aggressive puncher making his promotional debut.
In the co-main event, 2018 Rajadamnern Stadium Fighter of the Year and former World Champion Cyber Sor Tienpo makes his promotional debut against Road To ONE: Thailand winner Dedduanglek Torfunfarm in bantamweight Muay Thai action. Dedduanglek arrives off a technical masterclass in his most recent outing and looks to hold his ground against a decorated newcomer hungry to make an immediate statement on the global stage.
Exclusively for members of The Inner Circle, a special card streams before ONE Friday Fights 153 headlined by a flyweight Muay Thai clash as Thai-Malaysian phenom Adam Sor Dechapan looks to continue his ascent against France’s high-pressure stylist Enzo Clarisse.
In the co-main event, three-time IFMA World Champion Rifdean Masdor of Malaysia takes on Laotian newcomer Petkiattisak O Sansuk in an atomweight Muay Thai matchup, with Rifdean’s momentum and technical precision squaring off against the suffocating clinch pressure of a fighter arriving on a four-fight winning streak.
