Jaradchai Maxjandee Eyes Fourth Straight Finish Against Othman Rhouni
Three fights, three finishes, and one teenager with no intention of slowing down.
Jaradchai Maxjandee headlines ONE Friday Fights 161 against Moroccan striker Othman Rhouni in a flyweight Muay Thai matchup on Friday, July 10, inside Bangkok’s iconic Lumpinee Stadium. The 18-year-old Thai enters with a perfect three wins and a US$100,000 contract in his sights.
He delivered a body kick finish in his promotional debut before adding a flying knee knockout in his second outing. His most recent win, a head kick finish of Thant Zin, carried extra significance.
“I came in ready to trade hands with Thant Zin. My goal was a quick finish because I really wanted that bonus again. So, when I saw the opening, I just took it,” he said.
“Getting my first win against a foreign fighter in ONE felt amazing, like I’ve finally unlocked a new level. It gave my confidence a massive boost and makes me hungrier to keep this winning streak going.”
The teenager’s rapid rise has drawn attention beyond Thailand’s borders. Now he tests himself against a durable veteran with far more experience on the biggest stages.
Rhouni made his ONE Friday Fights debut against multiple-time Muay Thai World Champion Panpayak Jitmuangnon, dropping a split decision in a back-and-forth battle. The Moroccan enters looking to prove he belongs among the series’ elite.
Jaradchai has studied that performance closely and sees a specific advantage in the rule change.
“Othman is tall and throws some really dangerous punching combinations. The fact that he went toe-to-toe with Panpayak in his debut shows he’s got real skills,” he shared.
“However, for this fight, he has to switch over to Muay Thai and use the small gloves. That might give me the edge since I’m much more used to this rule set.”
Beyond the rule set, Jaradchai believes speed will be the deciding factor once the bell rings. That belief has sharpened his focus heading into fight week.
“I think this fight will come down to speed. I’m confident I’m the faster fighter, and I’m ready to make adjustments on the fly to get the win,” he said.
“I’m completely locked in for this fight. I want to secure a stable future for myself and my family. Right now, I have only one goal in mind: bringing that ONE Championship contract home.”
