ONE Championship will electrify Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, on February 20 with another explosive lineup when ONE Friday Fights 143 goes down live in Asia primetime.
This action-packed event features international stars from across the globe competing under Muay Thai and kickboxing rules — most of whom will battle for a life-changing US$100,000 contract with the world’s largest martial arts organization.
In the main event, Myanmar striker Vero puts her skills to the test against Israeli sensation Shir Cohen in atomweight Muay Thai action. Vero brings a brawling style built around devastating boxing combinations and a powerful left body kick. Cohen enters on a six-fight winning streak as a Road to ONE: Thailand 2023 winner. With both women already holding six-figure contracts with ONE, this fight could determine who steps closer to a shot at the division’s crown.
In the featured bout, contracted athlete Nakrob Fairtex returns to action against Panrit Lukjaomaesaiwaree in bantamweight Muay Thai competition. Nakrob looks to return to the win column after suffering the first back-to-back losses he’s ever had in ONE. He attempts to do so against Panrit, a chaotic fighter known for his punches and clinch.
International talent shines throughout the card as Thai technician Denkriangkrai Mavinn meets former Rajadamnern Stadium World Champion Petapichat Apichat in flyweight Muay Thai action, while Chabakaew Sor KanJanchai faces Iranian striker Nazanin Hoseini in atomweight Muay Thai. Kickboxing action features Russian technician Michael Baranov against Japanese striker Shoma at featherweight, while Malaysia’s Muhammad Ridzuan makes his promotional debut against Japanese prodigy Riku Ito in atomweight Muay Thai.
