Numsurin And Songchainoi Run It Back As Three Muay Thai Bouts Added To ONE Friday Fights 160 On June 26
The night Nong-O Hama and Kongthoranee Sor Sommai settle their trilogy at Lumpinee Stadium just got considerably deeper.
Three Muay Thai bouts have been confirmed for ONE Friday Fights 160 on June 26, broadcasting live in Asia primetime immediately following The Inner Circle, which features the vacant ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World Title fight between Asadula Imangazaliev and Aslamjon Ortikov.
The headline addition is a rematch between Numsurin Chor Ketwina and Songchainoi Kiatsongrit at atomweight. Their first meeting at ONE Friday Fights 122 produced one of the bigger upsets of that year.
Numsurin, a composed counter-striker, took the heavy favourite Songchainoi apart with patience and timing across three rounds, dropping him with a counter left hook in the second en route to a majority decision victory and a six-figure ONE Championship contract. Songchainoi had entered that bout as a 9-0 force in the weekly series with a reputation for finishing opponents through pure forward pressure. The loss recalibrated everything.
Both men have been busy since.
Numsurin stepped up to challenge ONE Atomweight Muay Thai World Champion Nadaka for the inaugural title at ONE 173, falling short by unanimous decision in a five-round bout that confirmed his credentials even in defeat.
Songchainoi bounced back with a win over Salai Htan Khee Shein before going the full five rounds with Nadaka himself at ONE SAMURAI 1 in April, hurting the champion multiple times before dropping a hard-fought decision. Two fighters who now know exactly what world title competition feels like, running it back with everything at stake.
The second addition brings one of Muay Thai’s most celebrated veterans to Lumpinee for his ONE Championship debut. Yodkhunpon Sitmonchai carries 104 career victories, a K-1 Championship, and a reputation for punishing forward pressure and heavy combination work into his first promotional appearance against Semih Sah Cindir.
The Turkish contender is 24-8 and coming off a sharp split-decision win over Wang Penghui that showcased his crisp boxing and inside elbow timing — a credible first test for a man who arrives with enormous expectations.
Closing the trio is the most immediately volatile matchup on the card. Muangthai “Elbow Zombie” PK Saenchai and Panrit Lukjaomaesaiwaree share a complete inability to produce dull fights, and their bantamweight collision should deliver from the opening bell. Muangthai’s elbow-heavy inside game and Panrit’s 30 career knockouts, including back-to-back wins over Nakrob Fairtex and Krisana Dowdenmuaythai, represent two finishing instincts pointed directly at each other for three rounds.
