ONE Championship: Full card confirmed for ONE Friday Fights 74 on August 9
Expect fireworks when the world's largest martial arts organization lights up Bangkok's legendary Lumpinee Stadium with its latest edition of ONE Friday Fights this August 9.
ONE Friday Fights 74 will play host to 12 high-octane matchups from Muay Thai and MMA, with a barnburner headline attraction featuring two top-notch bantamweight upstarts in Yodphupa Petkiatpek and Parham Gheirati.
The 20-year-old Thai, who has 65 wins under his belt, has been nothing short of amazing throughout his tenure in ONE, producing nail-biting action and highlight-reel moments since debuting in March last year.
Most recently, the Road to ONE Thailand champion came out on top via majority decision in a closely contested war versus Soner Sen.
His heart and knockout power will, however, be put to the test against Gheirati, who potentially finds himself one victory away from securing a lucrative six-figure contract to compete on the grandest stage of combat sports.
The Iranian striking standout has put his world-class striking tools to good use at ONE Friday Fights, obtaining three knockouts and a split decision win. With another chance to display his talent and impress the watching world, the 20-year-old should deliver big time come ONE Friday Fights 74.
Other 'Art of Eight Limbs' bangers set for the world's largest martial arts organization's upcoming bill inside the 'Mecca of Muay Thai' sees Donking Yotharakmuaythai and Panpet Sor Naruemon meet in a 136-pound fixture.
Meanwhile, Yamin PK Saenchai hopes to add a third successive highlight-reel victory under the promotional banner when he squares off in a 137-pound duel against Russian upstart Ibragim Abdulmedzhidov.
Apart from the striking clinics on offer, the latest edition of ONE Friday Fights features a pair of MMA contests. Dzhokhar Eskiev and Ilimbek Akylbek Uulu throw down in a flyweight joust, while Lee Seung Chul and Moises Lois Ilogan duke it out at strawweight.
ONE Friday Fights 74 will be available on the promotion's official YouTube channel and the ONE Super App live in Asia primetime on August 9. Geo-restrictions may apply.
