‘Ready To Trade’ – Pompet And Nat Khat Min Promise Epic Main Event War At ONE Friday Fights 163
Absolute fireworks are guaranteed when Thai dynamo Pompet PongSuphan PK and debuting Myanmarese warrior Nat Khat Min collide in the blockbuster main event of ONE Friday Fights 163.
The pair meet in a highly anticipated flyweight Muay Thai showdown, broadcasting live in Asia primetime from inside Bangkok’s legendary Lumpinee Stadium on Friday, July 24, shortly after The Inner Circle 23.
A dominant, highlight-reel showing from either elite striker could instantly propel them toward a coveted, life-changing US$100,000 main-roster contract, adding massive weight to what is already shaping up to be a can’t-miss collision.
With absolutely everything on the line, both men have made their destructive intentions for fight night abundantly clear.
Pompet Gears Up For An All-Out War
Pompet PongSuphan PK walks into this high-stakes clash well aware of exactly what another statement victory could do for his career.
The 27-year-old striking dynamo has endured a turbulent run of results over the past two years, but as the old combat sports adage goes, form is temporary while class is permanent. His two most recent victories are absolute proof of exactly that. Sandwiched around a narrow defeat, he has picked up a pair of devastating TKO victories, most recently stopping Jaosuayai Mor Krungthepthonburi at ONE Friday Fights 147.
Continuing that surging momentum could go a long way toward permanently securing his long-term future on the global stage.
The Thai shared:
“If I get through this fight with an impressive win and follow it up with one or two more victories, I believe my chances of getting a ONE contract will increase significantly. I’ll give it my all and won’t disappoint my fans.”
Pompet is certainly not expecting an easy night at the office against Nat Khat Min. The debuting lethwei specialist brings a terrifying blend of raw aggression and concussive knockout power, which demands immediate respect rather than complacency.
Despite never having shared the ring with a fighter hailing from that specific stylistic background, the seasoned Thai — who is actively chasing the 111th victory of his illustrious career — knows exactly how grueling that style tends to be. His meticulously crafted game plan centers on utilizing his superior hand speed to strike first, before systematically shifting his heavy focus to the body.
Securing that lucrative contract remains the ultimate professional priority, but the PK Saenchai affiliate has one more deeply personal reason to chase a definitive finish this time around.
He told onefc.com:
“If he comes out aggressive right from the first round, I’m ready to trade. I’m confident in my timing, and my deeper experience in Muay Thai will help me handle his style. My goal is to get another finish to win a bonus as a welcoming gift for my 3-month-old son.”
Nat Khat Min Ready For His Moment
Stepping onto the global stage for the very first time, Nat Khat Min appears absent of nerves. Instead, the Zwe Kapin Myay representative is fired up to put on an unforgettable show in his inaugural appearance inside the world’s largest martial arts organization.
He arrives with a golden opportunity to add his name to an already proud lineage of Myanmar athletes who have thrived under the brightest lights, following in the heavy footsteps of former two-division ONE MMA World Champion Aung La “The Burmese Python” N Sang, atomweight contender Vero “The Kayan Leopard,” and a rapidly growing list of compatriots who have left an indelible mark on the global stage.
That immense excitement, however, has not clouded his sharp tactical focus on the difficult task standing directly in front of him.
The 26-year-old said:
“It’s my first fight in ONE Championship, and obviously, it’s a big fight as well, so I’m still quite a bit excited about it. My opponent is very good and tough. I have to go toe-to-toe against him and trade punches.”
While fully game to trade heavy strikes with Pompet in the center of the ring, Nat Khat Min refuses to put a definitive prediction on exactly how the fight will play out.
But forged in the unforgiving fires of lethwei — the art of nine limbs — his reputation as a ruthless finisher precedes him, and sparks are all but guaranteed the exact moment these two warriors go to war at ONE Friday Fights 163.
Regardless of how the chaos unfolds, his priorities heading into his first appearance in the mecca of Muay Thai remain incredibly simple and grounded.
The Myanmarese athlete concluded:
“I just want to make sure it’s a good fight for all the fans who are watching. It’s such a big fight, and Myanmar fans will be out in full force. It’s going to be good.”
