Main Event: Yodlekpet Or Atchariya vs. Kongsuk Fairtex
The spotlight for ONE Friday Fights 77 will shine on the main event, a 137-pound catchweight Muay Thai battle between two highly decorated athletes. Yodlekpet Or Atchariya, a four-time Muay Thai World Champion, comes into this bout after a dominant unanimous decision win over Komawut FA Group in June. This victory marked his fifth consecutive win in the ONE Friday Fights series, and at 29 years old, Yodlekpet is showing no signs of slowing down.
Kongsuk Fairtex, his opponent, is a 24-year-old two-time Lumpinee Stadium Muay Thai World Champion who has been making waves in the division. Kongsuk’s recent form has been impressive, as he is currently riding a two-fight winning streak with victories over Petsukumvit Boi Bagna and Joachim Ouraghi earlier this year. With a 4-2 record under the ONE Friday Fights banner, Kongsuk is eager to continue his ascent and secure a lucrative contract with ONE Championship.
This main event promises to be a high-octane affair, with both fighters looking to cement their legacy and move closer to a shot at the global stage.
In the co-main event, Rambong Sor Therapat will look to extend his winning streak to six when he faces Longern Sor Sommai in a 128-pound catchweight Muay Thai contest. Rambong has been on an impressive run, having alternated wins and losses early in his ONE Friday Fights career before hitting his stride over the past year. His most recent victory came against Laos star Muanglao Kiattongyot at ONE Friday Fights 66, further solidifying his case for a six-figure contract.
Longern Sor Sommai, however, is determined to halt Rambong’s momentum. The 25-year-old fighter made an impactful debut with a first-round knockout of Karim Dahou but has since experienced a couple of close decision losses against top-tier opponents. A win over Rambong would not only redeem Longern but also catapult him into the conversation for a spot on the ONE Championship roster.
The lone MMA bout on the card features a flyweight clash between Kazakhstan’s Bolat Zamanbekov and Russia’s Valmir Galiev. Both fighters are making their debut in the ONE Friday Fights series, and they’ll be eager to make a strong first impression. Zamanbekov, known for his grappling prowess, will likely look to take the fight to the ground and hunt for submissions, while Galiev, who boasts a more balanced skill set, may opt to keep the fight standing and capitalize on his striking abilities.
Beyond the headline attractions, ONE Friday Fights 77 offers a deep undercard filled with intriguing matchups. Face Erawan will battle Tawanchai VK Khaoyai in a 123-pound catchweight bout that pits two skilled technicians against each other. Meanwhile, ManU Sitjanim faces Khundet PK Saenchai in a 132-pound catchweight contest, with both fighters eager to showcase their striking skills.
In the lighter weight divisions, Teeyai Wankhongohm MBK will go toe-to-toe with YodUdon BS Muaythai in a 116-pound catchweight bout, while Petmuangthai Sor Naruemon squares off against Nehramit Annymuaythai at 114 pounds. These lighter fighters are known for their speed and precision, promising fast-paced action that will keep fans on the edge of their seats.
International talent will also be on display, with Morocco’s Imad Salhi taking on Japan’s Arashi Sakamoto in a 121-pound catchweight bout, and Sutin Rinnmuaythai meeting Super Yay Chan in a 143-pound showdown. Additionally, Omar Drissi and Soichiro Arata will clash in a flyweight Muay Thai bout, adding further diversity to the evening’s matchups.
ONE Friday Fights 77 is shaping up to be another stellar night of martial arts at Lumpinee Stadium, with a card that promises high-stakes competition and world-class talent.
