The 70th episode of ONE Friday Fights went down without a hitch inside Bangkok, Thailand's Lumpinee Stadium. The platform showcased more thrills and spills across 11 Muay Thai and MMA contests live in Asia primetime on July 12.

The main event saw Stephen Irvine barely break a sweat as he obliterated Focus PK Wor Apinya in just under two minutes of their 132.2-pound catchweight Muay Thai bout.

"El Matador" took hold of the center of the ring from the first bell to control the contest. Focus tried to find opportunities to take over, but Irvine was just too defensively sound to allow him back in.

Irvine had thrown plenty of feints, which tricked his Thai rival into thinking he was gun shy. But if anything, he was perfectly patient. The Scottish warrior then landed a strong left hook to knock out Focus at 1:57 of round one.

The night's featured bout saw a hectic throwdown between Chokpreecha PK Saenchai and Abdallah Ondash in strawweight Muay Thai action, where the former shocked everyone by overcoming Ondash's signature attacks.

The fight started at a break-neck speed as Ondash looked to extend his streak of destruction. But Chokpreecha's hardened skill set allowed him to stay out of the way and land counterstrikes successfully on multiple occasions.

The fracas carried over into the second frame. Chokpreecha continued to find a home for multiple head and body strikes to keep the young Lebanese brawler unaware of what was coming next.

Knowing he was ahead, Chokpreecha took an intelligent approach in the final minutes as Ondash attempted to pressure him. However, the 100-fight veteran remained weary and timed his shots superbly to win by majority decision. Here is a look at the final results:
