Ubaid Hussain’s gift for striking was apparent from the moment he arrived in ONE. The 20-year-old hit the ground running, reeling off five straight victories and building a flawless 14-0 overall career record.
His most complete display came at ONE Friday Fights 138, where he flashed a full arsenal and composure beyond his years in a clinical unanimous decision over Brazil Aekmuangnon. The Leeds-born standout credits that success to a relentless work ethic and a sharp mind.
He said:
“My performance has been good, but there’s always room for improvement. I always watch my fights back, see what I did, and see what I can improve on. It’s made me better as I try to go to the next level.
“Most people know I’m an aggressive fighter, but I use my brain as well. I’m smart. I pressure my opponent, but I use my IQ as well.”

The undefeated British-Pakistani striker keeps climbing the ranks. Each challenge is stiffer than the last, and now he faces a very dangerous Thai opponent with five straight ONE victories of his own.
Rather than feeling the pressure, the Kiatphontip UK product sees the matchup as pure motivation. He remains fully confident that his superior speed and versatility will reveal themselves the moment they trade blows, and he intends to exit the arena exactly as he arrived — unbeaten.
Hussain added:
“Panpadej is very good. I like his style. He’s also 5-0 in ONE Championship. He’s got good footwork. He’s not like the typical Thai fighter. He’s got good boxing as well. My advantage is that I’m more versatile and faster. I’m stronger as well, and I have more weapons. I see weaknesses too. After the first few seconds, his confidence is going to go away.
“Don’t underestimate me. Only one person can be 6-0, and it’s going to be me.”
Panpadej Ready To Turn Hussain’s Aggression Against Him

Panpadej NF Looksuan did not race to an impressive 58-5 career record through sheer force alone. Behind the relentless forward pressure and punishing elbows lies a sharp, analytical mind.
The 24-year-old Chiang Mai native has methodically broken down every opponent since arriving in ONE, identifying and exploiting weaknesses to take five straight contests. He has already done his homework on Hussain, and he is entirely unfazed by the dangerous tools his opponent brings to the ring.
The Thai standout said:
“Ubaid is very talented. He has a complete Muay Thai arsenal and solid kickboxing skills. His style is fast, and he starts pressing from the first round.
“He’s dangerous, but I’m not afraid. I believe I have what it takes, too, because in my last five fights, I’ve never had an easy task. I’ve faced heavy hitters every time.”

Hussain is notorious for giving his opponents little room to breathe, punching in bunches and flowing between head and body without pause.
The NF Looksuan representative sees beyond that initial pressure, however. He identified a distinct crack in that relentless approach and plans to make the aggressive British striker pay heavily for his overconfidence.
Panpadej explained:
“I see a weakness in him. Others might not see it, but I think when he gets the upper hand, he gets overconfident. That creates openings. There’s a lack of tightness in his defense when he’s rushing in, especially if his opponent doesn’t counter-attack to startle him.”

Panpadej has spent his entire career proving doubters wrong. Friday night is no different, and the Thai technician plans to channel that underdog energy into the performance of his life.
Knowing exactly what is on the line, he is ready to throw caution to the wind and deliver a classic main event war for fans in Bangkok.
He concluded:
“It’s great. I actually like it when people see me as the underdog. It takes the pressure off. I’ve read some comments, and most people are leaning toward Ubaid, but I still have my supporters.
“Ubaid, I’ll see you this Friday. Let’s give it our all. Let’s go all out and don’t even worry about the bell.”
