ONE Championship returned to the iconic Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, on May 26, with its 18th weekly installment of ONE Friday Fights. And as always, the card gave combat sports fans another night of fast-paced martial arts entertainment.

In the main event of ONE Friday Fights 18, Australian striker Tyson "John Wayne Noi" Harrison and Thai striking specialist Pongsiri PK Saenchai slugged it out in a 147.6-pound catchweight Muay Thai war.

Both men threw the kitchen sink at one another from start to finish, trading elbows, knees, and every other weapon imaginable in "the art of eight limbs." Unfortunately for both warriors, their opposite number refused to crumble to any of those onslaughts.

After three entertaining rounds, Pongsiri, a two-time Lumpinee Muay Thai World Champion, left the Thai capital with a unanimous decision win, bumping his record to an impressive 158-37-11 in the process.

Elsewhere on the card, ONE Women's Strawweight Muay Thai World Champion Smilla "The Hurricane" Sundell capped her switch to kickboxing with a well-deserved unanimous decision win over Serbian dynamo Milana Bjelogric.

The Swede's fight IQ and striking weapons were too much for the debuting star. Despite Bjelogric's best efforts to hang on, she bore the brunt of the 18-year-old's accurate and powerful strikes.

Sundell wasn't the only teenage sensation who shined inside the "Mecca of Muay Thai," though. 16-year-old Johan "Jojo" Ghazali was another youngster who left the iconic venue with a statement victory.

The Malaysian-American firecracker went toe-to-toe with Tai Sor Jor Piek Uthai for the majority of their flyweight Muay Thai duel, but he ended the back-and-forth thriller with a cracking right hand at the 1:37 mark of the third stanza.
