ONE Championship's historic return to Qatar for ONE 171 is less than a week away, but in the meantime, the action continues at the historic Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.
On 14 February, this week's ONE Friday Fights 97 will showcase 22 experienced and up-and-coming international martial artists. Two of them are contracted, while the other 20 will compete for a coveted US$100,000 contract with promotion.

The main event will witness the epic brawl between two of Thailand's rising Muay Thai stars. Kongsuk Fairtex will go head-to-head with debutant Lamnamoonlek Tded99, a veteran of more than 130 professional fights.
In the penultimate bout, former Lightweight Muay Thai World Title contender Dmitry Menshikov will make his ONE Friday Fights debut Tengnueng Fairtex. The dangerous Russian is on a three-fight win streak. While his opponent, with over 110 bouts under his belt, looks to impress the Lumpinee crowd.
In addition, Myanmar's striking sensation Vero Nika will make her ONE Championship debut in the feature fight of the evening. She will take on Francisca Vera in an atomweight Muay Thai contest. Here is a look at the broadcast and fight card details of ONE Lumpinee 97:
