Yodlekpet and Pompet Set to Settle Trilogy at ONE Friday Fights 170
Two Muay Thai fighters, Yodlekpet Or Atchariya and Pompet Pongsuphan PK, with an even 1-1 record against each other are ready to finalize their trilogy at ONE Friday Fights 170. The flyweight Muay Thai bout is scheduled to stream live from Bangkok, Thailand's Lumpinee Stadium on Friday, September 11.
Yodlekpet, a decorated four-time Muay Thai World Champion with over 130 professional fights, won their initial encounter via split decision. Pompet, however, avenged the loss with an identical split-decision victory in their second meeting. Pompet enters this rubber match on a three-fight winning streak, most recently securing a unanimous decision over Saw Min Min. Yodlekpet is coming off a third-round technical knockout win against Nat Khat Min.
Both fighters' previous bouts have been characterized by close, competitive matchups, which has contributed to the tightly contested nature of their first two encounters. This pattern suggests another thrilling contest is on the horizon.
The fighters have consistently showcased their skills on the weekly ONE Friday Fights platform, demonstrating unwavering dedication as they head into this decisive bout. A victory in this fight will not only end their personal rivalry but also significantly boost either fighter's chances of earning the coveted US$100,000 main roster contract.
The co-main event also features a compelling strawweight showdown between Sandro Bosi and Kongchai Chanaidonmueang, who is riding a four-fight win streak. The nine-fight card is largely comprised of athletes striving for a chance at the lucrative six-figure contract.
