Lumpinee Stadium will witness the collision of unbreakable legacies this Friday, August 22, as ONE Friday Fights 121 presents another chapter of career-defining chaos where $100,000 contracts separate dreamers from champions.

Twenty-four fighters arrive in Bangkok carrying the weight of everything they’ve sacrificed to reach this moment, but few understand pressure like Tengnueng Fairtex, whose six-year unbeaten streak faces its ultimate test against Russian perfectionist Maksim Bakhtin.

The 32-year-old Thai veteran headlines lightweight Muay Thai action with a reputation forged through devastating left body kicks and clubbing left hands that have silenced opponents since 2018. His fearsome finishing ability represents the kind of proven excellence that separates established killers from rising contenders.

But Bakhtin arrives carrying the confidence of someone who has never tasted professional defeat. The 22-year-old three-time Russian Amateur National Champion brings an unorthodox style and perfect record that has convinced him this opportunity represents his life’s ultimate dream.

Their generational clash promises to settle more than rankings. Tengnueng’s experience against Bakhtin’s hunger creates the kind of stylistic collision that produces either spectacular knockouts or grinding technical warfare depending on who can impose their will first.

The co-main event delivers cross-cultural drama as Thai legend Chokpreecha PK Saenchai faces Myanmar sensation Thway Lin Htet in strawweight Muay Thai action that carries profound personal stakes for both warriors.

Chokpreecha’s return after six years away from competition represents more than simple competitive hunger. The 34-year-old two-time Lumpinee Stadium World Champion stepped back into training with dreams of providing better education for his two daughters.

His opponent understands the power of dreams from a different perspective. Thway Lin Htet began training at 15 with simple ambitions of becoming famous, developing the relentless pressure style that made him undefeated in lethwei competition before transitioning to Muay Thai excellence.

The 22-year-old Myanmar destroyer brings youth and momentum into battle against championship experience and parental desperation. Their collision promises to showcase the devastating power that has made both men fan favorites while determining whose dreams survive the brutality of elite competition.

Rematch warfare delivers featured attraction as undefeated British-Pakistani sensation Ubaid Hussain seeks to repeat his previous success against Thai veteran Petnakian Sor Nakian in 130-pound mayhem that carries redemption stakes for both fighters.

The 19-year-old Hussain carries the confidence of someone who has already solved this puzzle, having earned a unanimous decision victory in their first encounter. His youth and perfect record suggest room for continued growth.

But Petnakian arrives carrying the hunger of someone who refuses to accept that their championship window has closed. The 30-year-old Thai veteran draws inspiration from idol Seksan Or Kwanmuang while pursuing dreams of opening his own Muay Thai gym, using those long-term goals to fuel success.

The evening’s international depth showcases the global reach of ONE’s talent search, from Thailand’s Pettonglor Sitluangpeenumfon facing Japan’s Road to ONE winner Shimon Yoshinari in flyweight Muay Thai to Brazil’s Jean Carlos Pereira battling Ireland’s Sheagh Dobbin in MMA action.
