ONE Friday Fights 2 Results and Recap: Kulabdam, Yodlekpet Victorious in Bangkok

Bangkok, January 27: Kulabdam Sor. Jor. Piek. Uthai savoured a second victory against a familiar rival Sangmanee PK.Saenchai on Friday (January 27) at the iconic Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.

The 24-year-old went head-to-head with old foe Sangmanee in a highly anticipated bantamweight Muay Thai rematch that served as the main event of ONE Friday Fights 2.

Both southpaws began the matchup cautiously, exchanging light strikes as they felt each other out. Sangmanee searched for openings while Kulabdam adopted a more aggressive approach, pushing forward and landing a flurry of head and body shots in the closing moments of the first round.

The action intensified as the fight progressed, with "The Million Dollar Baby" becoming less hesitant with his attacks. Kulabdam, however, was ready for his every move, and the two were locked in a fierce exchange of punches and elbows, standing only a breath apart.

Kulabdam then delivered a decisive blow in the third round, a powerful left hand that nearly knocked Sangmanee off his feet. This strike sealed the unanimous decision win for "Left Meteorite," bringing his record to an impressive 2-0 against his 25-year-old compatriot.

Earlier in the evening, Yodlekpet Or.Atchariya squared off against Silviu Vitez in intense catchweight Muay Thai action.

Both fighters focused heavily on their boxing, throwing powerful strikes at one another. Going into the end of the first round, Vitez capitalized on an opening, delivering a devastating head kick that sent Yodlekpet staggering.

He pounced on the opportunity to finish the Thai star, but Yodlekpet rooted himself in the center of the ring, retaliating with painful leg kicks and elbows.

But Yodlekpet soon left his mark on Vitez, scoring a second-round TKO victory via elbow and a US$10,000 performance bonus.
