ONE Friday Fights 157 opened the month in style at Bangkok's iconic Lumpinee Stadium on Friday, June 5. Four-time Muay Thai World Champion Yodlekpet "The Destroyer" Or Atchariya extended his winning streak to three with a grinding, dominant unanimous decision over Saw Min Min in a bruising main event that tested both men from the first bell to the last. In the co-main event, Xavier Gonzalez ended a two-bout skid in the most emphatic way possible – a single counter left hook that put Payaksurin JP Power on the canvas and sent the Spaniard into an emotional celebration.

THE DESTROYER DOES IT AGAIN

Yodlekpet Or Atchariya said he was going to chop Saw Min Min down from the ground up, and nine minutes later, that is exactly what had happened.

The opening round was a feeling-out process that turned physical fast. Saw Min Min came with energy and volume, but Yodlekpet was not in a hurry. He picked his spots, dug into the body when the openings appeared, and kept hammering the lead leg every time the Myanmar man reset. The shots were not flashy. They were consistent – and consistency is what wins fights.

Saw Min Min made it a war in the second, dragging the action close and unleashing the kind of elbow-heavy chaos that his Lethwei background is built on. For a stretch, it looked like he might swing it. But the Thai weathered every burst and kept returning to the same answer: the body, the legs, repeat.

By the third, Saw Min Min's movement had been reduced to a limp. Yodlekpet walked him down, poured in three-piece body combinations, and worked the wounded leg until the bell saved what was left. The scorecards were not close. “The Destroyer” achieved career win number 95, and the contract conversation is getting very difficult to ignore.

GONZALEZ GETS 68-SECONDS KNOCKOUT

Xavier Gonzalez needed a result – and he got the best possible one.

The Spaniard spent most of the first minute of his flyweight Muay Thai co-main against Payaksurin JP Power absorbing left high kicks and push kicks that disrupted his rhythm and kept him at range. But Gonzalez was not rattled. He stayed behind his jab, remained composed, and quietly read every pattern Payaksurin was showing him.

When the 21-year-old Thai went high one more time, Gonzalez fired a counter left hook to the Thai’s chin, which instantly dropped. When it became clear Payaksurin wouldn’t be able to rise to his feet, the referee waved off the contest at the 1:08 mark of the opening round.

That knockout performance erased the Spaniard’s two-bout skid and gave him his 26th victory.
