ONE Friday Fights 37 offered up another action-packed night of Muay Thai and mixed martial arts from the iconic Lumpinee Boxing Stadium on 20 October. The main event pitted Rafi Bohic and Antar Kacem against one another in bantamweight Muay Thai action.

It was a battle of the veteran versus the young whippersnapper in Bangkok, Thailand. And the youthful Kacem managed to claim his most significant victory yet against the legendary Bohic. But it wasn't all one-way traffic.

The French legend maintained his pressure across the bout. But Kacem's counters and timing saw him land the better strikes that lead to the 24-year-old Belarusian landing a short left hook to drop Bohic in the final frame.

While Bohic survived to tell the tale, Kacem's handiwork across the nine minutes of action was enough to earn him the unanimous decision win and put back-to-back victories together for the first time in his promotional career.

In the co-main event, Rittidet Sor Sommai earned his second knockout in a row against Theptaksin Sor Sornsing in 132-pound catchweight Muay Thai after vowing to extend his winning streak.

Rittidet took control of the fight early on, and the 26-year-old's power began to break Theptaksin's guard. With 30 seconds left of the opening frame, Rittidet's promise came to fruition when he put Theptaksin on the canvas with a stunning left hook.

His Thai compatriot managed to survive the opening round, but Rittidet wasn't in a forgiving mood. The 26-year-old dropped Theptaksin with another left elbow strike, following up moments later with a short right elbow to end the bout at 1:59 of round two.
