ONE Championship on Friday will return with its weekly series, as ONE Friday Fights 55 descends upon the iconic Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand. The event features a 12-fight showcase spanning muay thai, kickboxing, mixed martial arts and submission grappling.
Elsewhere, three-division Lumpinee Stadium muay thai world champion Panthep VK Khaoyai squares off against Bhumjaithai Mor Tor 1 in a 122-pound catchweight showdown. Panthep seeks to extend his winning streak after a strong performance in his last outing, while Bhumjaithai figures to be keen on delivering a statement-making performance by securing his first victory in ONE Championship. The only kickboxing fight on the card pits No. 3-ranked flyweight contender Taiki Naito against Sherzod Kabutov. Similarly, the only MMA bout on the card features Brazil’s Matheus Pereira engaging in combat with Russia’s Khasan Khaliev at lightweight.
As the anticipation reaches a crescendo, fight fans around the world are gearing up to witness the action unfold. ONE Friday Fights 55 streams live to Sherdog.com at 8:30 a.m. ET/5:30 a.m. PT. A closer look at the particulars:
