The ONE Friday Fights series has become a weekly tradition in Bangkok, and for good reason.
ONE Championship has consistently blown the roof off the historic Lumpinee Boxing Stadium with punch after punch in the Thai capital. It all started with one of the best performances from one of Muay Thai’s living legends.
The promotion recently released a compilation of all the best fights in its weekly series and the one that started with the highlights was the return of a hero to his homeland.
Nong-O Hama was a fitting starter for the first ONE Friday Fights event. He defended the ONE Muay Thai world bantamweight title against Russian slugger Alaverdi Ramazanov.
The veteran world champion delivered an absolute masterclass when he knocked out Ramazanov in the third round of their bout at ONE Friday Fights 1. Not only did the fight have a great fight feel, it was also Nong-O’s first in Thailand. since 2019.
Another world title fight that featured heavily was Muay Thai lightweight world champion Regian Eersel’s fourth-round knockout of longtime rival Sinsamut Klinmee at ONE Friday Fights 9.
Eersel, who also holds the ONE World Lightweight kickboxing title, tore through the challenge with Sinsamut in the first three rounds before finishing his Thai opponent with a big punch to the stomach.
Thai legend Seksan Or Kwanmuang also made his ONE Championship debut on the ONE Friday Fights series, and his matches against Tyson Harrison and Silviu Vitez became instant classics.
