In the main event, decorated Thai veteran Kongsuk Sitsarawatsuer puts his three-fight winning streak on the line against hard-pressing Uzbekistani newcomer Khakimov Anisjon in a bantamweight Muay Thai showdown.
The 25-year-old Kongsuk is one of the most accomplished fighters to have competed in the weekly series. His grandfather introduced him to Muay Thai at 10, and after losing his first fight, he channeled his determination into a career that yielded two Lumpinee Stadium Muay Thai World Titles.
He heads into Friday off the back of a bonus-winning stoppage at ONE Friday Fights 146 and aims to push himself closer to a six-figure contract.
Across from him, Anisjon arrives from Uzbekistan making his ONE debut. An aggressive forward-pressure fighter who builds his offense around his straight right and powerful body kicks, he carries himself into the ring with a point to prove against one of the division’s most established names.

In the co-main event, Lumpinee Stadium Muay Thai World Champion Mongkoldetlek Por Pim-on squares off with Russian technician Ruslan Tuktarov in a bantamweight Muay Thai contest.
The 30-year-old Mongkoldetlek is a battle-tested veteran whose ONE resume includes appearances on the organization’s biggest cards. A counter-striker with sharp kicks, impeccable timing, and a suffocating clinch game, he heads into Friday looking to add to a body of work that already includes victories over world-class opposition.
Across from him, the 26-year-old Tuktarov makes his ONE debut out of Tiger Muay Thai with a 14-3 professional record and the technical tools to cause an upset. A counter fighter who uses footwork and timing to lure opponents into range before punishing them with accurate kicks and combinations, the Russian heads to Bangkok ready to make an immediate impact.
