Fantasy & Market Impact
Flyweight Fireworks: Petmuangsri Meets Thom
The main event anchors the card with elite flyweight Muay Thai action. Petmuangsri Torfunfarm of the TDed99 gym enters this booking riding a two-fight winning streak. The 23-year-old outpointed Chankrit Manop Gym before securing a gritty split-decision victory over Diogo “La Pantera” Miguel Silva at ONE Friday Fights 156.
But the tape tells a different story about his opponent’s finishing power. Scotland’s Gregor Thom has made absolute waves representing the Aberdeen Combat Centre. Every single victory for Thom on the weekly series has arrived via highlight-reel knockout, punctuated by his devastating stoppage of Donking Yotharakmuaythai at ONE Friday Fights 142.
Co-Main Clashes and the Global Undercard
The co-main event offers an intriguing generational battle in the flyweight Muay Thai division. Veteran Khunponnoi Sor Sommai puts his 10-3 promotional record on the line against the younger Sunvo Torfunfarm. At 33 years old, Khunponnoi remains a staple of consistency, arriving on the back of two straight wins—a unanimous decision over Thom and a knockout of Ye Yint Naung at ONE Friday Fights 153. Standing across from him, 23-year-old Sunvo returns to Lumpinee aiming to build on his momentum following a knockout win against Khundet PK Saenchai at ONE Friday Fights 161.
The rest of the card is stacked with diverse martial arts disciplines, ranging from strawweight MMA to featherweight kickboxing. International prospects and local Lumpinee standouts are locked in across all nine bouts.
