Lobo Vs. Kulabdam, Seksan Vs. Muangthai, Nadaka Vs. Banluelok Added To ONE Friday Fights 114
ONE Friday Fights 114 on June 27 is quickly shaping up to be an instant classic, as a trio of must-watch Muay Thai bouts have been added to the Asia primetime card at Bangkok’s iconic Lumpinee Stadium.
The main event will see #3-ranked bantamweight Muay Thai contender Felipe “Demolition Man” Lobo square off against surging Thai star “Left Meteorite” Kulabdam Sor Jor Piek Uthai.
A former two-time ONE World Title challenger renowned for his toughness and show-stopping power, Lobo comes into the contest following a sensational knockout of Saemapetch Fairtex and is hungry to reassert himself as the division’s top contender.
Kulabdam, though, is riding a three-fight winning streak and looks to be in top form. “Left Meteorite’s” trademark southpaw punch and wealth of high-level experience should make for an explosive clash against the equally heavy-handed Brazilian.
In 140-pound Muay Thai action, beloved Thai fan favorite Seksan “The Man Who Yields To No One” Or Kwanmuang returns to Lumpinee Stadium to meet long-tenured ONE star “Elbow Zombie” Muangthai PK Saenchai.
Seksan might be the single most entertaining athlete in all of combat sports. A former four-time Muay Thai World Champion, the 36-year-old displays a fearless and ferocious style of striking that keeps fans on the edges of their seats from the opening bell.
After racking up 10 impressive victories through his first 11 appearances in ONE, the veteran will come into ONE Friday Fights 114 following a stunning stoppage loss to Asa Ten Pow – a defeat that’s likely to give him some extra motivation against Muangthai.
For his part, “Elbow Zombie” is one of the most respected fighters on ONE’s global roster. The 31-year-old is a ruthless clinch fighter with a granite chin. After scoring back-to-back knockouts in his last two bouts, he could be poised to make a run at 26 pounds of gold.
Also, fans won’t want to miss the atomweight Muay Thai showdown between decorated Japanese megastar Nadaka Yoshinari and Thai knockout artist Banluelok Sitwatcharachai.
Still just 24 years old, Nadaka is already a 10-time Muay Thai World Champion and has firmly established himself as his country’s top competitor in “the art of eight limbs.” His recent signing to ONE’s global roster marked massive news for the sport.
In his debut at ONE 172 in March, Nadaka showcased his blazing speed and savage finishing abilities to stop Rak Erawan with a beautiful left punch. He’ll now look to make another terrifying statement at ONE Friday Fights 114.
Banluelok, though, is far from a pushover.
The 28-year-old Sor Dechapan product has looked nothing short of dominant through his three appearances at ONE Friday Fights, employing his frantic pacing, crisp boxing, and well-rounded striking to rattle off three straight knockouts.
