MOMENTUM COLLIDES WITH EXPERIENCE IN THE MAIN EVENT

Klarob NuiCafeboran and Sornsueknoi FA Group headline the card in a flyweight Muay Thai clash between two Thai fighters trending in opposite directions – stylistically, that is.

Klarob has built his recent success around a mix of technical striking and finishing power, riding a two-fight winning streak. Most recently, he cruised past Omar El Halabi to earn a unanimous decision victory this past July, but previously authored some knockout performances during his time at ONE Friday Fights.

Meanwhile, Sornsueknoi is known for his pure durability and consistency. Despite dropping some close split decisions lately, he reminded everyone of his killer instinct when he stopped Nuapet Torfunfarm in the second round of their April 2026 battle.

When these two meet in the center of the ring, fans can expect both men to compete at a relentless pace and go headhunting in search of the knockout.

A SEASONED PRO WELCOMES A LETHWEI FIGHTER TO ONE

The co-main event pits Thai standout Petsuphan Lookmuangpet – a seasoned professional who has yet to lose in ONE Championship – against Myanmar’s latest promotional newcomer Mahar Thway in a strawweight Muay Thai showdown.

Petsuphan, who owns a 42-15 career record, seems like a perfect fit for ONE Championship’s explosive style of Muay Thai. The 25-year-old has won both his matches in the organization, routing Rawee Puanpratuphee in his June 2026 debut and then finishing Petsamart Muangphaphum via second-round TKO just a month later.

Meanwhile, Mahar Thway brings an entirely different look to the ring, arriving for his first promotional appearance with a flawless 10-0 professional record and a background rooted in Lethwei's unpredictable, high-pressure style. His stance-switching approach and relentless output figure to make his debut one fans must watch closely.
