Dedduanglek vs. Kongsuk Headlines A Loaded ONE Friday Fights 167

ONE Friday Fights 167 returns to Lumpinee Stadium with nine Muay Thai, kickboxing, and MMA bouts. Dedduanglek Torfunfarm faces Kongsuk Sitsarawatsuer in a thrilling main event that promises high intensity in Bangkok.

Another scorching week of explosive action awaits as ONE Friday Fights 167 returns to Bangkok's Lumpinee Stadium this Friday, August 21. The card is loaded with nine bouts spanning Muay Thai, kickboxing, and MMA, and it is headlined by a fascinating showdown between a main-roster star and a battle-tested Muay Thai World Champion who is looking to prove that his newfound aggression is here to stay.

A Rising Star Meets A Former World Champion

Dedduanglek Torfunfarm already earned his life-changing contract and spot on ONE Championship’s global roster, but he isn't slowing down. The 23-year-old returns to the show that made him famous, as he steps into the main event against former two-time Lumpinee Stadium World Champion Kongsuk Sitsarawatsuer in a bantamweight Muay Thai showdown.

Dedduanglek has built real momentum lately, riding back-to-back unanimous decision victories. However, the Thai wants to hit the hat trick this week, and he’d love to claim that third straight victory in highlight-reel fashion and prove that his killer instinct is still alive.

Kongsuk, meanwhile, brings a completely different kind of danger. The 25-year-old has been competing on the ONE Friday Fights circuit since June 2023, and he is thriving. Most notably, his finishing abilities have awakened, as he is coming off back-to-back knockout victories. Should he knock out his compatriot, then perhaps he’ll get his own life-changing contract and roster spot.

A Fearless Debutant Crashes The Co-Main Event

The co-main event features Tepatip Champkhaomootod going toe-to-toe with debuting talent Yokkiri TN Muaythai in a strawweight Muay Thai clash.

Tepatip has found his groove lately, as he is coming off a first-round knockout victory in his most recent performance this past June. He brings momentum and a solid familiarity with the fans at Lumpinee Stadium into Friday’s show.

Yokkiri, on the other hand, arrives with everything to prove and nothing to lose. Making his promotional debut, the newcomer has the opportunity to introduce himself in dramatic fashion against a hungry, in-form opponent.

A statement performance here would immediately put Yokkiri on the radar in one of the series' most competitive divisions, while a win for Tepatip would further validate his recent climb up the card.
