On Friday, February 9, ONE Friday Fights 51 delivered yet another sensational night when ONE Championship returned to the famous Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, for more martial arts action.

The exciting bantamweight Muay Thai main event saw a clash of styles between Rambolek Chor Ajalaboon and Soner "Golden Boy" Sen as the former scored a well-deserved and hard-fought win.

In the opening round of the bout, the 20-year-old used his push kicks to maintain the distance from his opponent and threw powerful right kicks whenever he saw an opportunity. "Golden Boy" tried to counter with his hard combinations, but Rambolek intercepted those strikes with his sharp kicks.

As the match progressed, Sen did succeed in landing some punches on the Kiatpet representative, but the Thai star maintained the lead in the second and third round with his long-range leg strikes and effective clinch work.

In the end, Rambolek did enough to earn the nod from all three judges to get back to winning ways at Lumpinee Boxinng Stadium and improve his record to 63-14-3.

In the co-main event, George "G-Unit" Jarvis secured a split-decision victory over Mustafa Al Tekreeti in their lightweight Muay Thai clash. Both fighters started with caution in the opening stanza, but the pace picked up in the second frame.

Al Tekreeti attacked with his chopping leg kicks and mixed them up well with his combinations. But Jarvis maintained his composure and patience and countered with body blows in the clinch.

In the final round, the British striker found openings in Al Takreeti's defense. He maintained the pressure until the end of the third round, which was enough to convince two of the three judges. This was Jarvis' first win in ONE, which pushed his overall record to 24-4.
