ONE Championship delivers a Friday night doubleheader of elite martial arts action on 5 June at the legendary Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.
The Inner Circle broadcasts exclusively on live.onefc.com with five marquee matchups highlighted by a high-stakes strawweight Muay Thai main event with a US$100,000 contract in play, while ONE Friday Fights 157 follows with nine contract-chasing battles across Muay Thai, kickboxing, and MMA.
Ambition and momentum fuel the main event when former Rajadamnern Stadium Muay Thai World Champion Kongchai Chanaidonmueang meets dangerous Moldovan finisher Valerii Strungari in a strawweight Muay Thai showdown that could change both men's careers overnight.
Kongchai enters on a four-fight winning streak and has declared his intent to go for the finish, sensing that a statement performance could finally earn him the life-changing ONE Championship contract he has been chasing. The pressure is entirely on his shoulders — and he welcomes every bit of it.
Strungari, meanwhile, arrives rebuilt. After suffering a March setback that he blames on abandoning his game plan in search of the knockout, the 24-year-old Team Mehdi Zatout fighter promises a smarter, more calculated approach — with backup plans ready for every scenario Kongchai throws at him.
The co-main event sees Jaosuayai Mor Krungthepthonburi return to flyweight kickboxing after nearly five years away, hungry to silence critics and end a rare losing run against China's Yuan Pengjie. Both fighters have declared winning non-negotiable, guaranteeing fireworks at Lumpinee.
India's own Nazareth Lalthazuala adds local flavour to ONE Friday Fights 157, facing the Philippines' Jhon Brutas in strawweight MMA action, while four-time Muay Thai World Champion Yodlekpet Or Atchariya headlines the card against Myanmar's Lethwei specialist Saw Min Min.
