The summer may be ending, but ONE Friday Fights once again delivered the heat as the 76th installment of the weekly series took over Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, on Friday, 23 August.

Fans witnessed a thrilling flyweight Muay Thai encounter in the main event as Puengluang Baanramba dispatched Samingdam Looksuan across three-rounds of intense pure striking action to cap off the evening's affairs.

Puengluang took control early on, driving body kicks into his opponent's ribs. But Samingdam refused to let them go unanswered as he hit back with multiple heavy-handed strikes of his own.

The 24-year-old continued landing combinations on his foe in the second round as the pace picked up and the bout narrowed. That allowed Samingdam to put his Thai compatriot on the backfoot with swinging shots.

But as quickly as that happened, Puengluang took control of the final minutes with many of his brutal kicks going unchecked. Those signature kicks made all the difference as he pocketed the unanimous decision.

In the featured bout of the evening, Duangsompong Jitmuangnon earned a second consecutive win in ONE with a split-decision victory over French-Algerian star Joachim Ouraghi in their flyweight Muay Thai tilt.

The Thai striker consistently used his long limbs to stab at Ouraghi before timing his entries and unleashing short elbow strikes to lead the way at the end of the first round. But his foe's leg kicks and pressuring style also kept it close.

He continued to lead the way in round two, constantly moving to avoid any desperate attempts from Ouraghi, who was in need of a strong performance. But the 26-year-old managed to continue to damage his foe's body whenever the pair came close.

Attempting to steer the judges, "Pantera" stalked the Thai star in the final round. He used his consistent leg kicks to try and change the flow of the bout, but Duangsompong left with the split decision. Here is a look at ONE Lumpinee 76 final results:
