Here is everything that went down inside the Thai capital.
Mongkoldetlek Stays Perfect In 2026
Former Lumpinee Stadium Muay Thai World Champion Mongkoldetlek Por Pim-on showed poise when it mattered most, delivering a clutch knockdown en route to a majority decision victory over Moroccan debutant Yassir “Salvador” Rassafi in their bantamweight Muay Thai co-main event.
Eager to make waves on the global stage, Rassafi instantly weaponized his significant height and reach advantage to pepper Mongkoldetlek with stinging head kicks and stiff jabs. The 21-year-old’s elusive footwork completely neutralized the veteran early on. Mongkoldetlek’s counterstrikes even fell short, and his clinch attempts were routinely denied in the opening frame.
However, the hometown favorite flipped a switch in round two. Deciding to meet his towering opponent head-on, the Por Pim-on man bridged the gap with punishing body kicks. Although Rassafi still connected with sharp straights, Mongkoldetlek began catching him with a powerful right hand on the exit.
The final round was a fast and furious affair. Mongkoldetlek hunted his foe with lunging hooks while the 21-year-old newcomer attempted to keep him at bay with sharp teeps. The razor-close match then turned in an instant when the Thai drilled a left hook missile past his opponent’s defenses for a shocking flash knockdown.
That emphatic strike proved to be the decisive blow. Rewarded with the majority decision, Mongkoldetlek extended his winning streak to three, pushed his career record to 127-54, and moved one step closer to securing a US$100,000 main roster contract.
Rak And Songpandin Deliver Wild Stoppages
Another former Lumpinee Stadium World Champion, Rak Erawan, returned to the win column in statement fashion, making quick work of Hern NF Looksuan in atomweight Muay Thai action. Hern initiated the action with long jabs and low kicks to score early, but that brief flurry proved to be his only meaningful offense.
Rak quickly tested his foe’s durability with debilitating liver blows that visibly changed Hern’s complexion. With his opponent’s guard sagging from the punishment, the 25-year-old went headhunting, dropping Hern with a vicious series of right hooks and elbows.
Sensing a compromised opponent, the pride of Erawan pounced without hesitation. A blistering punch combination scored a second knockdown, and a final kick-punch assault sealed the deal moments later. The ruthless TKO at 2:48 of round one snapped Rak’s two-fight skid and improved his record to 77-15.
Meanwhile, Laotian demolisher Songpandin Chor Kaewwiset secured another epic highlight-reel moment, this time spoiling Thai veteran Petsiam Soonsrangthangtak‘s ONE debut with a vicious TKO in their flyweight Muay Thai clash.
After repeatedly tagging his opponent in the opening frame, Songpandin finished the job at 2:50 of round two. He clobbered Petsiam with a merciless wave of hooks and uppercuts to extend his winning streak to three and push his overall slate to 43-13.
Finally, Japanese debutant Kyo Kawakami enjoyed a successful promotional bow, relying on devilish hand speed and overwhelming volume to outwork Isaiah Badato in flyweight kickboxing and notch the 17th victory of his career.
