ONE Championship returns to Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, on September 19 with another explosive lineup as ONE Friday Fights 125 goes down live in Asia primetime.
This event features international stars and established veterans from across the globe competing under Muay Thai and MMA rules — most of whom will be battling for a life-changing US$100,000 contract with ONE Championship.
In the main event, former ONE Bantamweight Muay Thai World Title challenger Saemapetch Fairtex of Thailand faces Russia’s Elbrus Osmanov in bantamweight Muay Thai action. Saemapetch has seen 11 of his last 12 fights end by knockout and enters riding a three-bout losing streak, motivated to bring honor back to Thailand after recent Russian victories over top Thai fighters. Osmanov brings momentum from a first-round knockout win and aims to prove himself against the veteran.
In the featured bout, Thailand’s Kongchai Chanaidonmueang faces already-contracted Brazilian Walter Goncalves in strawweight Muay Thai action. After a mixed bag of recent results where he’s been unable to string together more than two wins in a row, Kongchai faces the ultimate test against Goncalves, who has competed across multiple disciplines in ONE and now looks to make an impact in the lighter division.
International talent shines throughout the card as Korea’s Kyung Joong Kim meets Japan’s Su Sung Cho Gotoh in their promotional debuts, while Colombia’s Juliana Otalora faces Australia’s Kim Tran in atomweight MMA action. Additional fighters from France, Turkey, and China round out a card packed with global flavor.
