Bangkok, March 3: ONE Championship returns to the iconic Lumpinee Stadium this week with the seventh consecutive installment of their Friday Fights series.
ONE Friday Fights 7 will offer its signature showcase of the best Muay Thai in the world, as well as a plethora of mixed martial arts entertainment this Friday, 3 March, in Bangkok, Thailand.
Two of Thailand's top strikers will headline the billing when Theeradet Chor Hapayak and Rambolek Chor Ajalaboon collide in 143-pound catchweight Muay Thai action.
The contest will open both men's accounts in The Home of Martial Arts, and in addition to entertaining the Lumpinee locals, the duo will look to make an impression on Muay Thai fans watching worldwide.
Elsewhere on ONE Friday Fights 7, Chalamkhao PK Saenchai and Kongchai Chanaidonmeuang will face one another in strawweight Muay Thai action with the pair hot off previous victories in the series.
At only 20 years old, Chalamkhao is already a top name in the world of Muay Thai. However, Kongchai is a fellow striking prodigy looking to work his way to the very top of "the art of eight limbs" following a tremendous first-round finish at ONE Friday Fights 3.
The former holds over 120 victories in his impressive career, with his most recent coming by unanimous decision in January.
Sticking with Muay Thai, the international section of the card will be headlined by Road to ONE: Thailand Champion Yodphupa Tor Yotha, who collides with Russian standout Ilyas Musaev in bantamweight action.
Yodphupa is a highly touted prospect in the Muay Thai world and will be hoping to debut in emphatic fashion against his Russian foe and take one step closer to World Title conversations.
Musaev, though, enters the contest hot off the back of his second-round demolition job of Panrit Lukjaomaesaiwaree at ONE Friday Fights 3.
Also listed on this week's showcase is a trilogy of exciting MMA bouts. American heavyweights Lawrence Phillips and Ben Parker will make their promotional debuts in a contest that is expected to be a firefight however long it lasts.
Additionally, Iranian showstopper Arash Mardani will look to continue his momentum off the back of his ONE debut when he meets Mamurjon Khamidov in middleweight MMA.
South Korea's So Yul Kim will also be in atomweight action when he meets Souris Manfredi in the evening's second bout.
