ONE Championship returns to Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, on December 12 with another explosive lineup as ONE Friday Fights 136 goes down live in Asia primetime.

This event features stars from across the globe competing under Muay Thai, kickboxing, MMA, and submission grappling rules — all of whom will be battling for a life-changing US$100,000 contract with the world’s largest martial arts organization.

In the main event, Thailand’s legendary Panpayak Jitmuangnon faces China’s Zhao Chongyang in flyweight kickboxing action. The seven-time Muay Thai World Champion and three-time Sports Writers of Thailand Fighter of the Year brings phenomenal technical ability centered around his devastating left body kick, while Zhao enters fresh off a spectacular second-round head kick knockout victory. After suffering a first-round knockout loss in his most recent appearance, “The Angel Warrior” is determined to return to winning form against the dangerous Chinese finisher.

In the featured bout, Russia’s undefeated Maksim Bakhtin puts his 11-0 record on the line against Iraq’s Mustafa Al Tekreeti in lightweight Muay Thai action. The 22-year-old has earned consecutive knockout victories through his first two ONE appearances using unpredictable striking, exceptional footwork, and creative attacks including spinning elbows and flying techniques. He faces the well-rounded Iraqi counter-striker Al Tekreeti, who brings a wealth of Muay Thai experience and accurate kicks to this compelling international clash.

International talent shines throughout the card as Thailand’s Petkhaokradong Lukjaomaesaithong takes on Turkey’s Ali Kelat in lightweight Muay Thai action, while Malaysia’s Amir Naseri faces China’s Zhang Jinhu in flyweight competition. France’s Sarah Gohier meets Tunisia’s Ichrak Laroussi, and the card also features Israel’s Israel Dos Santos, South Korea’s Lee Seung Chul, and England’s Jack Sear competing in submission grappling, showcasing ONE Championship’s global reach.
