ONE Friday Fights 23 took center stage at Bangkok, Thailand's Lumpinee Boxing Stadium for another week of elite Muay Thai, kickboxing, and MMA action that saw Kongklai Annymuaythai and Paedsanlek PK Saenchai battle it out in the main event.

After a cautious first frame of their 140-pound catchweight Muay Thai clash, Kongklai picked up the pace in the second stanza and dropped compatriot Paedsanlek with a straight left hand.

Then, Kongklai put Paedsanlek down once more before scoring the final knockdown with a trifecta of knees to his compatriot's dome as he was pinned in the corner, earning his first victory in ONE.

The co-main event saw Beckham Bigwinchampiongym go the distance with dangerous Bulgarian Anton Petrov, and the pair put on an entertaining contest for the Lumpinee Stadium crowd across the three rounds.

In the end, though, it was Beckham who came away with the unanimous decision victory. He remained wary of Petrov's brutal power, successfully countering a multitude of strikes to control the matchup from bell to bell in an impressive ONE debut.
