Chatpichit Has His Elbows Ready And A ONE Championship Contract In Sight
Every fight on the ONE Friday Fights weekly series carries weight. For Chatpichit Sor Sor Toipadriew, this Friday’s main event carries something more — the kind of moment that can redirect a career entirely.
The 26-year-old Thai standout headlines ONE Friday Fights 144 on February 27 against Tubtimthong IngfahhotelUbon in atomweight Muay Thai action at Bangkok’s legendary Lumpinee Stadium, and he’s arriving with a plan that ends in a finish.
“I’m planning to bring the heat from the very first round,” Chatpichit said. “I think I’m ahead of him both physically and mentally. If I can push the pace and drain his gas tank early, there’s a huge chance I’ll find that KO.”
The confidence is grounded. Riding a two-fight winning streak and boasting 62 career victories, Chatpichit has quietly become one of the weekly series’ most consistent performers since debuting at ONE Friday Fights 14 in April 2023. His most recent outing illustrated the full range of his ability — patient, adaptive, and precise across three rounds against Har Ling Om at ONE Friday Fights 136 last December.
But patience has its limits. On Friday, he’s hunting a stoppage.
Tubtimthong arrives at a crossroads. The Sor Jor Lekmuangnon fighter announced himself with three straight victories, two of them first-round knockouts, finishing Petchnumchai Sor Jor Tongprachin and Sakolpat ChotBangsaen in a combined time of under four minutes. He has dynamite in his hands. He also has three consecutive losses weighing on him.
Chatpichit has studied the tape and spotted what he believes is the opening.
“From what I’ve seen, Tubtimthong struggles when you target the body and the face — he doesn’t seem to take those shots well,” he said. “If he leaves an opening, I’m ending it right there. Expect a knockdown or a knockout for sure. And as always, I’ve got my elbows ready to close the show whenever I see the chance.”
The elbows have been his signature since the beginning. So has the ambition. A win doesn’t just extend the streak — it pushes him toward the ONE main roster contract that drives everything.
“My main goal this year is to secure a ONE contract as soon as possible,” he said. “That’s why every fight has to be my best.”
