ONE Championship is lighting up Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok this Friday, July 24, with ONE Friday Fights 163, and the main event has absolutely everything: an experienced warrior on a winning streak, a massive US$100,000 contract on the line, and a virtually unbeatable debutant stepping into the ring. This isn’t just another fight night; it is a proving ground for two of the most dangerous newcomers on the global circuit, ready to test themselves against battle-tested veterans.
Nat Khat Min’s Lethwei Record Is No Joke
The biggest story going into the main event is Nat Khat Min. This 26-year-old from Myanmar is making his ONE debut with an insane 32-1 professional record, forged in the brutal bareknuckle tradition of Lethwei. Seriously, he has barely lost and has never been seriously troubled. He is stepping onto the biggest stage of his career against Pompet PongSuphan PK, who is not just fighting for a win but for a life-changing US$100,000 contract. Pompet, 27, training at PK Saenchai Muaythaigym, is as experienced as they come. He has 44 knockouts under his belt, stopped Gregor Thom in a bonus-winning performance, and had absolute wars with guys like Suriyanlek Por Yenying and Yodlekpet “The Destroyer” Or Atchariya. He even knocked out Jaosuayai Mor Krungthepthonburi recently. He is on a winning streak, he is hungry, and he has something huge to prove against a guy who has never known defeat. What happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object with a US$100,000 payday on the line? My money is on fireworks.
Uzbek Bull Ready To Trample A Champion
The co-main event promises another absolute barn burner when Lumpinee Stadium Muay Thai World Champion Mongkoldetlek Por Pim-on faces explosive Uzbek newcomer Utkirjon Khamidov in a bantamweight Muay Thai contest. Mongkoldetlek, 30, from Roi Et, is a true veteran. He has seen it all, fighting in ONE’s biggest events, even facing Jonathan “The General” Haggerty. He is coming back to ONE Friday Fights in 2026 with a renewed focus that only time away can bring. His last performance, a methodical victory over Ruslan Tuktarov at ONE Friday Fights 156, snapped Tuktarov’s five-fight win streak, reminding everyone that experience is its own weapon in this game. But Khamidov? This dude is 9-1 professionally with seven knockouts. They call him a bull from the first bell, just overwhelming opponents with relentless pressure and combinations. His ONE debut against a Lumpinee Stadium Muay Thai World Champion is the ultimate test. It will sort out if he is a serious contender or just another pretender, and he is absolutely ready to find out.
This Friday, July 24, at ONE Friday Fights 163, we are going to see if these debutants can truly live up to the hype or if the veterans will hold their ground. Don’t blink, because these eight bouts across Muay Thai and MMA are set to deliver non-stop action, and with a US$100,000 contract at stake in the main event, the fighters are going to leave it all in the ring.
