Bangkok, March 9: ONE Championship and Lumpinee Stadium continue to showcase the greatest Muay Thai on Earth, and for the eighth consecutive time this Friday, the illustrious team will host unforgettable action once again.
ONE Friday Fights 8 returns to Bangkok, Thailand, for a plethora of combat sports outings. The evening offers a combination of "the art of eight limbs" as well as several mixed martial arts contests.
The card will be topped off by two of Thailand's rapidly rising flyweight scrappers, when Petsukumvit Boi Bangna locks horns with Petchmuangsri Tded99 in the main event that has fans clamoring for the collision.
The two enter the headlining bout following victories in their promotional debuts in February, and the two will be eager to continue riding their momentum in the ever-flourishing flyweight Muay Thai division.
The remainder of the card will feature familiar faces, specifically former ONE Bantamweight Kickboxing World Champion Alaverdi Ramazanov, who reimurges to face Mavlud Tupiev in bantamweight Muay Thai action.
"Babyface Killer" was last seen on the inaugural ONE Friday Fights card back in January when he went to war with mainstay ONE Bantamweight Muay Thai World Champion Nong-O Hama in an absolute barnburner.
The Russian standout tested the will of Nong-O before eventually succumbing to the Thai's ferocity, and now he is looking to reassert himself among the very best this Friday evening.
The night's curtain raiser will see highly touted prospects Elias Ghazali and Mohammad Sadeghi collide in a battle between two flyweight Muay Thai prodigies.
Both athletes earned hard-fought victories in their ONE debuts as the two walked out with unanimous decision wins under their belts, adding to their respective hype before the two collide later this week.
