Full Card Revealed For ONE Friday Fights 73 On August 2

ONE Friday Fights 73 looks set to deliver another action-packed card live in Asia primetime this Friday, August 2.  

The 12-fight lineup will bring the expected helping of elite-level Muay Thai to Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, but there’s also a larger-than-usual dose of kickboxing, plus a pair of MMA bouts to open the show.  

In the main event, Worapon Sor Dechapan will meet fellow Thai Panrit Lukjaomaesaiwaree in a 142-pound catchweight Muay Thai encounter.  

Worapon entered ONE with a defeat back in May 2023, but he’s been impressive since then. The 23-year-old knocked out Slatan Jitmuangnon with a stunning head kick and added a second victory against Hiroki Kasahara this past February. 

Now with a confidence boost from his back-to-back wins, Worapon would love to continue his upward trajectory against a more experienced ONE Friday Fights campaigner.  

Panrit has appeared at the weekly event six times, and although the bouts haven’t always gone his way, they’ve always been entertaining.  

The 27-year-old got off to a 1-3 start against some big hitters, but he’s turned his fortunes around with a pair of wins to level out his record in the world’s largest martial arts organization.  

Fighting out of Superbon Training Camp alongside his lifelong friend Superbon, the rising star has the right people around him to aim for the top.  

Before that, Sanpet Sor Salacheep looks to extend his unbeaten streak at the expense of Watcharaphon Singha Mawynn. 

The 24-year-old Sanpet has gone 2-0 since entering ONE earlier this year, but he’ll have his hands full with the former Omnoi Stadium Champion.  

Both men have shown their KO power with stoppage victories in ONE, and an impressive result in this 130-pound catchweight Muay Thai bout would make a big statement for one of them. 

Other matchups to look out for in the Muay Thai ranks include a 128-pound catchweight rematch between Win Sitjanim and Xavier Gonzalez following Gonzalez’s split-decision win earlier this year, while knockout artist Sornsueknoi FA Group returns against ONE debutant Jencherng Pumpanmuang. 

A pair of WBC Muay Thai World Champions from England will also feature on the bill, with George Jarvis taking on Argentina’s Ricardo Bravo in a lightweight kickboxing bout, and Alfie Ponting meeting Sonrak Fairtex in a flyweight Muay Thai battle.  

The other kickboxing contests will see Uzbekistan’s Ilashev Dostonbek take on Japan’s Tasuku Yonekawa at bantamweight, and Thailand’s Fahjarat Sor Dechapan against Japan’s Kuroda Naoya in a 119-pound catchweight bout. 

In MMA, Russia’s Khalim Nazruloev will square off with Uzbekistan’s Zhamoliddin Rakhmonzhonov at flyweight, and Bulgarian competitor Antonio Bushev will take on Iranian athlete Mohammad Fahmi at lightweight.
