ONE Friday Fights 109 is set to captivate combat sports fans on May 23, 2024, promising an exhilarating night at the renowned Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand. As the event unfolds during prime time in Asia, you can expect an impressive lineup featuring 12 matchups across various combat disciplines, ensuring a spectacular showcase of martial arts talent.
The main event features a highly anticipated bantamweight Muay Thai showdown between Brice “The Truck” Delval and the emerging star Yod-IQ Or Pimolsri. Delval, a former ONE World Title contender, returns to the ring after a four-year hiatus, eager to prove his skills. His last appearance in 2019 was a hard-fought split decision loss to Nong-O Hama, a long-reigning champion. Now, he'll face the dynamic 23-year-old Yod-IQ, who boasts an impressive record with just one defeat in nine appearances at ONE Friday Fights. Yod-IQ is currently a frontrunner for a coveted $100,000 contract to join ONE Championship’s main roster.
In another electrifying matchup, Myanmar’s Eh Mwi, known for his knockout power, will battle Thailand's Wuttikrai Wor Chakrawut in a flyweight Muay Thai contest. Both athletes are eager to deliver a thrilling performance, with Eh Mwi's striking abilities poised to clash against Wuttikrai’s momentum from a stunning knockout during his promotional debut in March.
The card also marks the highly anticipated debuts of Japanese kickboxing stars Yuki Yoza and Kaito Ono. Yoza, a K-1 Champion unbeaten since 2021, aims to extend his winning streak in a bantamweight kickboxing match against the undefeated Russian standout Elbrus “The Samurai” Osmanov. With his aggressive striking style, Yoza seeks to impress in front of a global audience.
In the featherweight division, Kaito Ono takes on Iranian fighter Mohammad Siasarani. Kaito brings a wealth of experience and technical skill, while Siasarani is known for his relentless forward pressure and knockout power. This matchup is expected to be a high-stakes battle that could set the tone for both fighters in ONE Championship.
