ONE Championship returns to Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, on July 25 with another explosive lineup as ONE Friday Fights 117 goes down live in Asia primetime.

This event features international rising stars from across the globe competing under Muay Thai, kickboxing, and MMA 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 Yod-IQ Or Pimolsri faces Italian powerhouse Alessio Malatesta in bantamweight Muay Thai action. The Thai rising star enters on a seven-fight winning streak and brings his technical precision against the explosive Italian southpaw, who has scored multiple knockouts in previous ONE Friday Fights appearances. This stylistic matchup between technical Thai striking and devastating Italian power promises fireworks from the opening bell.

In the featured bout, Australia’s Tyson Harrison squares off with America’s Kendu Irving in bantamweight Muay Thai action. Harrison brings his all-action fighting style that never fails to entertain, while Irving has been honing his skills training in Thailand for two years. With both fighters seeking to earn the contract and establish themselves as top contenders in the talent-rich bantamweight division, this international clash promises to be a barnburner.

Global talent shines throughout the card as 2024 Road to ONE: Thailand winner Kampeetewada Sitthikul takes on Russia’s Elbrus Osmanov in the co-main event, while Thailand’s Tangtang Sor Dechapan makes her debut against Hong Kong’s Tsz Ching Phoebe Lo in atomweight action. Ecuador’s undefeated Martin Parra faces Italy’s Antonio Piana, with additional talent from France, Japan, and more adding to the diverse international flavor.
