  • Unanimous decision gave Samingdam NF Looksuan the bantamweight Muay Thai main event at ONE Friday Fights 154 in Bangkok, lifting his record to 48-9 and extending his ONE Friday Fights streak to six.
  • A right cross in round two produced an eight-count after a furious opening round in which both Thai fighters traded kicks, punches and elbows at close range.
  • Yodphupa Petkiatpet pressed hard in the third round and pinned Samingdam on the ropes at times, but Samingdam’s counters and repeated push kicks to the face blunted the comeback.
  • The three-round win closed an explosive Lumpinee Stadium card and set the stage for ONE Fight Night 43: Tang vs Gasanov, scheduled hours later in U.S. primetime.
