Additionally, there will be three MMA bouts on this massive card broadcasting live from the Thai capital. With that said, we look at three fights you must watch this Friday.
#1 Chorfah Tor.Sangtiennoi vs. Petsukumvit Boi Bangna
Headlining the bill will be a flyweight Muay Thai affair between two striking dynamos, Chorfah Tor.Sangtiennoi and Petsukumvit Boi Bangna. Chorfah, who participated in two Rajadamnern Stadium Fight of the Year against Rodtang Jitmuangnon and Petchdam, will be seeking redemption.
After falling short in his debut to Tagir Khalilov in December last year, the all-action striker is on the prowl to make things right. Petsukumvit, however, excels against fighters who love to make things dirty, meaning that this fight could very well be an instant classic.

A statement win for either man could see them climb up the pecking order of the flyweight Muay Thai division.
#2 Rungrawee Sitsongpeenong vs Mustafa Al Tekreeti
On paper, ONE Friday Fights 3 is set to thrill the world with fast-paced striking action. And two athletes who will bring that exact style to the ring are Rungrawee “Legatron” Sitsongpeenong and Mustafa Al Tekreeti.
Rungrawee has earned more than 150 career victories with his aggressive game, earning knockouts and important wins over the best strikers in Thailand. But Al Tekreeti’s similar style and 6-foot-2 frame could make life difficult for the Thai striker.
Both men love to stalk their rivals with combinations and surgical precision through their kicks. So fans can expect a barnburner contest between the two this week.

#3 Shannon Wiratchai vs Poriya Golpour
Thailand’s MMA star Shannon “OneShin” Wiratchai returns into action against Poriya Golpour in a featherweight MMA bout earlier in the night. The 34-year-old hasn’t featured since his split decision win over Fabio Pinca in July 2022. But after the time off to recharge and reset, the Bangkok-based fighter is eager to post a run of victories to place him in the upper echelons of the division.

On the flip side, Golpour makes his promotional debut, eager to put his wrestling skills to the test against a judoka of Wiratchai’s caliber.
With high-level grappling almost a given, this bout could end with a slick submission finish, setting up fans for another potential night of highlight-reel moments.
