The month closes with a roar as ONE Friday Fights 176 brings nine bouts spanning Muay Thai, kickboxing, and MMA to Bangkok’s Lumpinee Stadium this Friday, October 30. And as always, every athlete on the card is chasing the same career-altering prize: a US$100,000 contract and a spot on ONE Championship’s main roster.
Rambong vs. Thompson Headlines ONE Friday Fights 176
Rambong’s Experience Meets Thompson’s Granite Chin In Main Event
Experience meets a hard-to-crack young Brit in the ONE Friday Fights 176 main event.
Rambong Sor Therapat, 29, brings a tremendous amount of veteran expertise into the contest, owning 84 career wins and years in the game. Notably, he has racked up 11 wins in 16 trips to ONE Friday Fights and has taken three of his last four, including a split decision over Sornsueknoi FA Group at ONE Friday Fights 158 and a majority decision over Pethuahin Jitmuangnon at ONE Friday Fights 150.
His opponent, Jacob “Sombat” Thompson, holds a 10-3 professional record and has yet to see a ONE Championship bout end early. The 23-year-old from the United Kingdom has gone the distance in all four of his promotional appearances, and his last trip ended with a unanimous decision over Takuma Ota at ONE Friday Fights 157.
Even though Rambong has the experience, Thompson has the youthful swagger and the toughness to make this a long night for the Thai in this flyweight Muay Thai main event.
Khunsuk And YodUdon Both Know How To Close The Show
Two knockout artists will be featured in the co-main event, and they have a common opponent.
Both Khunsuk T1 Fight Academy and YodUdon K Tongtalingchan have each stopped Kongburapha Or Thepsupa, and now they square off in an atomweight Muay Thai battle that figures to be a firecracker.

YodUdon, 28, moved faster against the same man, stopping Kongburapha with a first-round TKO at ONE Friday Fights 124. A second-round TKO of Petkriangkrai Jitmuangnon followed, and his latest outing ended in a unanimous decision over Tepkamin ThanapolResort. Now, he hunts for his 67th career victory on Friday night.
