ONE Championship unleashed the first half of its double-header this weekend at Bangkok, Thailand's Lumpinee Stadium, and ONE Friday Fights 73 set the tone inside the iconic venue before ONE Fight Night 24: Brooks vs. Balart took the baton on Saturday, 3 August.

The evening's main event saw Panrit extend his winning streak to three in a row after picking up the unanimous decision - but not before participating in a 142-pound catchweight Muay Thai war with Worapon.

The 27-year-old came out fast and furious, and that allowed him to get ahead in the early goings. Panrit continued to unload on his compatriot with plenty of heavy kicks and fierce combinations that kept Worapon guessing.

The pace picked up in the second round, where both men threw hell for leather. However, Panrit managed to time his entries and exits just a bit better, which cut Worapon open with just minutes left of the fight.

He continued targeting Worapon's body in the third frame, thwarting Worapon with nasty elbows whenever his man tried to enter the pocket. And after it was all said and done, Panrit moved to 4-3 in ONE.

In the evening's featured bout, WBC Muay Thai World Champion George Jarvis strapped up the big gloves as he entered the lightweight kickboxing realm, successfully outstriking Argentina's Ricardo Bravo across three rounds.

From the first frame, Jarvis' reach advantage and size difference became a common theme as he used his range to frustrate Bravo, making him miss before making him pay with sharp right hands.

In the second stanza, Bravo began to throw huge looping shots as a means to get inside the pocket, but whenever he did, the English star managed to counter expertly and stay unscathed.

Jarvis then made the final three minutes a matter of routine as "G-Unit" consistently jabbed at his foe to walk away with the unanimous decision win, all while giving his best performance yet in ONE Championship. Here is a look at the final results from the event:
