Maisangkum And Petnamkhong Collide In ONE Friday Fights 158 Main Event On June 12
Two fighters who came from nothing and built themselves into genuine contract contenders meet in the strawweight Muay Thai main event of ONE Friday Fights 158 on Friday, June 12, live in Asia primetime from Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.
Maisangkum Sor Yingcharoenkarnchang grew up in a hill tribe in poverty, his father introducing him to Muay Thai as the family’s most viable path forward. That foundation built a 25-year-old explosive left hook artist who arrives on a recent win and hunting his 55th career victory on the biggest stage he has competed on.
Petnamkhong Sor Maneekhot began with temple fights in Vientiane, Laos, at 14 before a coach spotted his talent and sent him to Thailand to develop it properly. The 22-year-old arrives on a two-fight winning streak with a following that has grown rapidly back home, and ONE’s global platform gives him the chance to make his entire country watch on Friday night.
The co-main event pitches experience against momentum in featherweight kickboxing. Mamuka Usubyan, 32, carries a 23-2 record and a six-fight winning streak into his fourth ONE Championship appearance, his sharp jab and patient footwork having already produced a victory over former ONE Interim Featherweight Muay Thai World Title challenger Shadow Mavinn.
Across from him, Enzo “The White Wolf” Kartoum makes his ONE debut on the back of eight consecutive wins, five by stoppage, the ISKA Super-Welterweight World Champion from Team Mehdi Zatout bringing the kind of heavy-handed finishing power that has made debuts in the featherweight kickboxing division a dangerous assignment for established names.
The Yanis Ben Alaya versus Ricardo Sanchez strawweight Muay Thai clash adds a family subplot worth noting — Ben Alaya is the nephew of former ONE Bantamweight Kickboxing World Title challenger Mehdi Zatout. Sheila Barrios of Argentina faces Thailand’s Ployjan Sitnayokdam in atomweight Muay Thai in a matchup that crosses continents and styles.
Kyaw Swar Win and Slatan Jitmuangnon meet at bantamweight, Petphupa Aekpujean faces Wuttidet Torfunfarm at flyweight, Tepkamin ThanapolResort battles YodUdon K Tongtalingchan at atomweight, Petsuphan Lookmuangpetch takes on Rawee Puanpratuphee at flyweight, and Chen Jiayi meets Kazuteru Yamazaki in flyweight kickboxing.
