ONE Championship releases full card for ONE Friday Fights 162
Published
1 month agoon
A nine-bout card returns to Lumpinee Stadium this week. The thread connecting its two biggest fights runs straight through one of Muay Thai's most beloved figures.
Southpaw powerhouse Kongklai Sor Sommai meets Moroccan puncher Adam Benwarwar in a bantamweight Muay Thai main event on Friday, July 17 at ONE Friday Fights 162. The card broadcasts live in Asia primetime from Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.
Kongklai's story is the kind Muay Thai was built to tell. He lost his first ten professional fights and kept going anyway. Eventually, he strung together an 18-bout winning streak that included the only knockout of Seksan Or Kwanmuang ever recorded in the big gloves.
The 27-year-old carries that legacy into Friday's fight looking to get back on track after a tough loss to Julio Lobo at ONE Friday Fights 152. Benwarwar needs no extra motivation of his own, having announced himself with a first-round knockout and an explosive striking arsenal.
Khunponnoi aims to step out of his brother's shadow at ONE Friday Fights 162
The co-main event brings the Seksan connection full circle. Khunponnoi Sor Sommai, the younger brother of “The Man Who Yields To No One,†takes on Scotland's Gregor Thom in a flyweight Muay Thai matchup on the same card that headlines the man who once knocked his brother out.
The 33-year-old Sor Sommai product has 127 professional wins, including 28 knockouts, and has spent years working to step out of the most beloved shadow in ONE Championship. Thom's own story is one of the series' great origin tales, a fighter who started training during pandemic lockdown boredom and forged himself into a legitimate threat with a powerful low-kick game.
Rounding out the card, seven further bouts span Muay Thai, kickboxing, and MMA, with every fighter chasing the same prize: a life-changing US$100,000 contract and a permanent spot on ONE Championship's global roster.

Guilherme Uriel corrects his DWCS ‘sin’ with 50-second submission

Uriel believes he made a mistake by not using his jiu-jitsu in
his first
Dana White's Contender Series appearance last year.
Uriel (8-2) made his second DWCS appearance on Aug. 25 in a
heavyweight matchup against Mario
Piazzon in
Week 3 of Season 10. Uriel made Piazzon tap to a standing
guillotine in 50 seconds to earn an
Ultimate Fighting Championship contract.
Guilherme Uriel explains the jiu-jitsu adjustment that helped
earn his UFC contract
Uriel had previously suffered a knockout loss against Josh Hokit
in his first DWCS opportunity last year. He believes he shouldn't
have abandoned his jiu-jitsu against Hokit. Uriel knew that
Piazzon, being a product of the
Galpao Da Luta gym, would inevitably grapple and hence worked
on his takedown defense and fence work ahead of their DWCS
bout.
“One of the things from last time, it was my sin not to use my
jiu-jitsu,†Uriel said in his post-fight interview. “And with all
due respect to Galpao Da Luta, that’s a great gym. We know they’re
tough people, but we trained all that, all the time. We knew that
jiu-jitsu was going to happen, and we, all the takedown defenses,
just make sure that everything was against the fence. And when that
neck was there, I said, ‘I’m taking that home. I’m not going to let
that go.'â€
Uriel has finished all eight of his career wins in the first
round.

graces.
Content creator Nina Marie-Daniele, who covers several TKO events,
recently revealed how White helped her deal with a stalker.
Daniele's phone number was once leaked on the internet, leading to
numerous calls from unknown numbers. However, one stalker got
really persistent and wouldn't stop bothering Daniele until White
intervened.
Dana White got Nina Drama's stalker added to no-fly list
Daniele claims the stalker used to send her videos of cartel
beheadings. She then approached the
Ultimate Fighting Championship CEO for help. Daniele says she
got a call from counter terrorism within a couple of minutes after
calling White.
Counter terrorism found the stalker's details within a day and put
him on a no-fly list so that he couldn't come to Las Vegas.
“I got a stalker,†Daniele said on her Kick stream. “The stalker
was crazy, he was out of his f*cking mind and he wouldn't stop
harassing me. He was sending me cartel beheadings and all these
kind of stuff. So, I told Dana. And Dana was like, ‘Hold on, babe,
one minute.' And then two seconds later, I had counter terrorism
call me and they showed up at my house. And they took all my
information and by the next morning they found my stalker. And they
put him on a no-fly list so that he could never come to Vegas.â€
