ONE Championship Announces Full Card For ONE Friday Fights 120

Lumpinee Stadium will witness another night of career-defining chaos this Friday, August 15, as ONE Friday Fights 120 delivers the kind of authentic Muay Thai that transforms unknown fighters into contracted superstars overnight.

Almost 24 international warriors will arrive in Bangkok carrying the energy of fighters who understand that $100,000 contracts separate regional heroes from global recognition. Some chase first opportunities while others hunt redemption from previous disappointments.

The flyweight Muay Thai main event promises immediate destruction as Thailand’s Yodlekpet Or Atchariya faces compatriot Pompet Panthonggym in a collision between two proven finishers who rarely allow fights to reach the final bell.

Both Thai destroyers enter riding knockout momentum that suggests this headliner will end quickly. Yodlekpet demolished Donking Yotharakmuaythai inside one round during his June appearance, while Pompet needed just two rounds to finish Puengluang Baanramba weeks earlier.

These Friday Fights veterans understand that spectacular finishes create the kind of highlights that catch promotional attention. Another devastating knockout could push either fighter toward the life-changing contract that represents the ultimate prize for weekly series regulars.

The co-main event carries deeper emotional stakes as Thailand’s Gingsanglek Wor Kumchamnarn faces Myanmar’s dangerous Thant Zin in flyweight warfare that could resurrect or bury ONE Championship dreams.

Gingsanglek arrives with his back pressed firmly against the wall after winning just once in his last four outings. That lone victory came via first-round knockout against already-contracted Alexey Balyko at ONE Friday Fights 115, proving he still possesses the finishing ability that once made him a series standout.

Now he faces an opponent whose brief but memorable ONE Friday Fights journey has included moments of both brilliance and heartbreak. Thant Zin burst onto the scene in early 2024, immediately capturing attention by dismantling two of Thailand’s rising stars before achieving the unthinkable.

The Myanmar striker knocked down legendary Japanese kickboxer Takeru Segawa during their war at ONE Friday Fights 81, creating one of the series’ most shocking moments. Although he ultimately lost that battle and the one that followed, the achievement established him as someone capable of troubling elite competition.

Avatar PK Saenchai enters his featured bantamweight Muay Thai battle against former ONE World Title challenger Brice Delval carrying the burden of nine promotional appearances without breaking through against elite opposition. His experience against fighters like Mohammad Siasarani and Kiamran Nabati has prepared him for this level of competition, but preparation means nothing without execution.

Delval brings his own frustrations into this collision, having failed to secure victory in three promotional appearances despite facing the absolute best the division offers. His battles against former ONE Bantamweight Muay Thai World Champion Nong-O Hama and Muangthai PK Saenchai proved his ability to compete with championship-level fighters.

The evening’s MMA action features the return of Japanese veteran Itsuki Hirata, who faces newcomer Arti Khatri in atomweight warfare that carries championship implications for both women.

Hirata has competed for ONE since 2019, building her resume against established names like Alyse Anderson and Ham Seo Hee while steadily climbing toward title contention. Victory would continue her ascent toward a ONE Women’s Atomweight World Title shot that has long seemed inevitable.

Khatri represents the hungry newcomer determined to use an established name as her launching pad into promotional recognition. The opportunity to derail a veteran’s ambitions while announcing her own arrival creates the kind of motivation that fuels upsets.
