Twenty-four hungry fighters will descend on Bangkok’s legendary Lumpinee Stadium this Thursday, August 8, most of them carrying dreams of life-changing contracts and the reality that only the most skilled will earn their golden tickets to ONE Championship’s main roster.

ONE Friday Fights 119 broadcasts live in Asia primetime with $100,000 contracts hanging in the balance.

But the 140-pound Muay Thai main event carries personal stakes that extend far beyond monetary rewards. Thai striker Samingdam NF Looksuan faces Myanmar’s Sonrak Fairtex in a collision built on team loyalty and the hunger for redemption.

Sonrak enters this battle carrying the weight of his teammate’s defeat. Samingdam beat Seksan Fairtex via unanimous decision at ONE Friday Fights 53, creating a debt that demands repayment. The Myanmar destroyer now has his opportunity to restore team honor.

Both men have survived wars against the weekly series’ most dangerous opponents, but their paths have never crossed until now. That collision promises to deliver the explosive excitement that has made this platform essential viewing for striking purists.

Khunsuek Superbon Training Camp brings his pedigree into a co-main event featherweight Muay Thai battle against Iran’s Hassan Vahdanirad. The protege of reigning ONE Featherweight Kickboxing World Champion Superbon carries two consecutive victories and the pressure of living up to his mentor’s legendary standards.

Vahdanirad, on the other hand, represents the perfect spoiler, desperate to prove his debut loss against Shadow Singha Mawynn doesn’t define his abilities under the brightest lights. The Iranian striker understands that impressive victories can erase previous setbacks while opening doors to further opportunities.

Already-contracted Moroccan standout Walid Sakhraji makes his series debut against Thailand’s battle-tested Khunponnoi Sor Sommai in flyweight Muay Thai action that promises excitement. Sakhraji arrives riding momentum from Thailand’s local circuit, but faces an established veteran with six ONE Friday Fights victories who specializes in making debuts memorable for all the wrong reasons.

Canadian striker Taylor McClatchie returns to the weekly platform for 128-pound Muay Thai warfare against Lebanon’s Yara Saleh. The already-contracted fighter brings international experience into a collision that could establish her as a future contender in the women’s divisions.

The kickboxing action features China’s Luo Chenghao battling Japan’s Yumeto Mizuno at 117 pounds, while Turkey’s Cengiz Lale faces Japan’s Masahito Okuyama in bantamweight destruction that promises to showcase technical excellence under extreme pressure.
