Full Card Revealed For ONE Friday Fights 154 On May 15
The world’s largest martial arts organization returns to Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, this Friday, May 15, and fans tuning in live in Asia primetime can expect a stacked night of martial arts action.
After The Inner Circle airs on live.onefc.com for exclusive members, ONE Friday Fights 154 features nine more bouts across Muay Thai and kickboxing, with each athlete on the card hunting a coveted US$100,000 contract and a spot on ONE’s global roster.
In the main event, surging Thai standout Samingdam NF Looksuan squares off with dangerous knockout artist Yodphupa Petkiatpet in a bantamweight Muay Thai showdown.
The 23-year-old Samingdam grew up in a household steeped in Muay Thai. Both his parents are former fighters who introduced him to the sport so he could protect himself from bullies. Now carrying a five-fight winning streak and the full backing of NF Looksuan gym in Bangkok, he heads into Friday with one goal: to make himself known to the world.
Standing across from him is the 22-year-old Yodphupa, whose journey to ONE Friday Fights is a story of pure hunger. He took his first professional fight after just one month of training because he didn’t want to keep asking his parents for money.
That same drive has carried him to a 71-14 career record, a Road to ONE: Thailand Championship, and a reputation as one of the most dangerous one-punch finishers in the division. Coming off a unanimous decision victory, Yodphupa heads into Friday ready to put on the biggest performance of his career.
In the co-main event, two-time Muay Thai World Champion Rungnarai Kiatmoo9 returns to the ring to face battle-tested veteran Den Sitnayoktaweeptaphong in a strawweight Muay Thai clash.
A former Lumpinee Stadium Muay Thai World Champion at 115 pounds and Rajadamnern Stadium Muay Thai World Champion at 108 pounds, the 30-year-old Rungnarai is one of the most accomplished athletes to step through the doors at ONE Friday Fights. He has spent time coaching at Evolve MMA and now comes back to competition looking to add to his decorated resume.
Across from him stands Den, a 29-year-old from Buriram who carries a remarkable 196-49 professional record into this matchup. Two older brothers and a father who was a fighter himself shaped his career from an early age. He now runs his own gym while continuing to compete, and heads into Friday on the back of a decision victory at ONE Friday Fights 139.
In other action, Sanit Aekmuangnon takes on Azerbaijani newcomer Elvin Mammadov in flyweight Muay Thai. Thailand’s Dafi Sor Dechapan faces Laos-born French striker Anouwat Merlet in a strawweight Muay Thai tilt, while Saenmuangnoi PK Saenchai squares off with Malaysia’s Asura Thiagesh in flyweight Muay Thai, plus much more.
