ONE Friday Fights 152Kongklai Sor SommaiJulio Lobo
The world’s largest martial arts organization returns to Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, this Friday, May 1, and fans tuning in live in Asia primetime can expect a stacked night of martial arts action.
ONE Friday Fights 152 airs just days after the historic ONE SAMURAI 1 — which airs on live.onefc.com on Wednesday, April 29 — and features nine bouts across Muay Thai and MMA, with all but one athlete on the card hunting a coveted US$100,000 contract and spot on ONE’s global roster.
In the main event, former 140-pound Omnoi Stadium Muay Thai Champion Kongklai Sor Sommai puts his three-fight winning streak on the line against experienced Brazilian finisher Julio Lobo in a bantamweight Muay Thai showdown.
The 27-year-old Kongklai is one of the most powerful southpaws in the division. He lost his first 10 professional fights before turning his career around with an 18-fight winning streak that featured 15 knockouts — and he has not looked back since.
The 2020 Sports Authority of Thailand Fighter of the Year, Kongklai has built a reputation as a one-punch knockout threat who can end the fight at any moment with his thunderous straight left.
Across from him, the 31-year-old Lobo has carved out a career as one of the few foreign fighters in Thailand to excel in the clinch.
The Brazilian began training Muay Thai at 13 and made the move to Thailand on the advice of his coach, going on to claim the 140-pound Omnoi Stadium title along the way. He fights for the future of his 10-year-old son Gustavo and heads into Friday off the back of a victory over a previously red-hot Worapon Lukjaoporongtom.
In the co-main event, Panrit Lukjaomaesaiwaree and run it back in a bantamweight Muay Thai rematch with plenty at stake for both men.
