The world\u2019s largest martial arts organization returns to Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, this Friday, March 27, and fans tuning in live in Asia primetime can expect a stacked night of martial arts action.<\/p>\n
ONE Friday Fights 148<\/a> features nine bouts across Muay Thai, kickboxing, and MMA, with each athlete on the card hunting a coveted US$100,000 contract and spot on ONE\u2019s global roster.<\/p>\n In the main event, former Rajadamnern Stadium Muay Thai World Champion Kongchai Chanaidonmueang<\/a> takes on Iranian knockout artist Mehrdad Khanzadeh<\/a> in a strawweight Muay Thai showdown.<\/p>\n With more appearances at ONE Friday Fights than any other athlete in the event\u2019s history, Kongchai is one of the most established names in the weekly series. The 23-year-old southpaw announced himself with a four-fight winning streak early in his ONE tenure, but has experienced mixed results since. Now he heads into Friday determined to recapture that early form and reassert himself as a genuine contract contender.<\/p>\n Standing across from him is the 24-year-old Khanzadeh, who arrives hungry to earn his second consecutive ONE victory for the first time. Nicknamed \u201cBlack Wolf\u201d after the icon of his Iranian hometown of Ardabil, the hard-pressing orthodox striker trains out of Sor Dechapan in Bangkok and sees a win over one of the series\u2019 most familiar faces as the statement result that could change the trajectory of his career.<\/p>\n In his most recent ONE outing, Khanzadeh showed tremendous heart, coming back from a knockdown to claim a split-decision victory at ONE Friday Fights 125<\/a>. The performance underlined his toughness and refusal to quit when the pressure mounts.<\/p>\n In the co-main event, Denkriangkrai Mavinn Muaythai<\/a> steps into the ring against Moldovan finisher Valerii Strungari<\/a> in a flyweight Muay Thai matchup that could have serious contract implications for both men.<\/p>\n The 27-year-old Denkriangkrai has quietly built one of the strongest recent runs at ONE Friday Fights, stringing together four consecutive victories with his technically sound southpaw game. Inspired by his Team Mavinn Muaythai teammate Shadow Mavinn<\/a>, the Siam Omnoi Champion wants to become the next fighter from his gym to earn a six-figure contract. He\u2019s closing in on that goal with every performance.<\/p>\n Strungari made an immediate impression on his ONE debut in November 2025, rallying from a losing position to land a stunning knockout punch in the third round against an opponent who had been firmly in control. The 24-year-old Moldovan, who trains out of Team Mehdi Zatout in Pattaya, heads into Friday with a point to prove \u2014 that his debut finish was not a fluke, and that he belongs among the division\u2019s elite.<\/p>\n In other action, France\u2019s Velihan Palit<\/a> makes his highly anticipated ONE debut against sharp Japanese southpaw Ranma in a bantamweight kickboxing matchup, with Palit carrying a seven-fight winning streak \u2014 five by stoppage \u2014 into the biggest night of his career. <\/p>\n Thailand\u2019s Nongfahsai TOP PK Saenchai<\/a> and Hong Kong\u2019s Wang Tsz Ching<\/a> clash in atomweight Muay Thai, with Wang entering on an impressive six-fight winning streak.<\/p>\n Chinese phenom Sheng Yi Yang<\/a> faces Japanese technician Shota Takezoe in strawweight kickboxing, while Spain\u2019s Jorge Pastor<\/a> welcomes Iranian newcomer Ahad Varghaeian in featherweight Muay Thai. Uzbekistan\u2019s Sattor Rizoev and Brazil\u2019s Felipe Silva will also battle under flyweight MMA rules.<\/p>\n ONE Friday Fights 148 Full Card<\/p>\n Kongchai Chanaidonmueang vs. Mehrdad Khanzadeh (Muay Thai \u2013 strawweight)<\/p>\n Denkriangkrai Mavinn Muaythai vs. Valerii Strungari (Muay Thai \u2013 flyweight)<\/p>\n Superjeng Torfunfarm vs. Prompadej NF Looksuan (Muay Thai \u2013 bantamweight)<\/p>\n Jorge Pastor vs. Ahad Varghaeian (Muay Thai \u2013 featherweight)<\/p>\n Krungthai Torfunfarm vs. Binladin Sor Poonsawat (Muay Thai \u2013 strawweight)<\/p>\n Sattor Rizoev vs. Felipe Silva (MMA \u2013 flyweight)<\/p>\n Nongfahsai TOP PK Saenchai vs. Wang Tsz Ching (Muay Thai \u2013 atomweight)<\/p>\n Sheng Yi Yang vs. Shota Takezoe (kickboxing \u2013 strawweight)<\/p>\n Velihan Palit vs. Ranma (kickboxing \u2013 bantamweight)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The world\u2019s largest martial arts organization returns to Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, this Friday, March 27, and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":554842,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[444],"tags":[49,48,641,638,82],"class_list":["post-554841","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mma","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-fighting","tag-mma","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/554841","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=554841"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/554841\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/554842"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=554841"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=554841"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=554841"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
