ONE Friday Fights 148: A Launchpad for Martial Arts Superstars
This Friday, March 27th, Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, will once again play host to a night of electrifying martial arts action with ONE Friday Fights 148. Nine bouts across Muay Thai, kickboxing, and MMA are scheduled, each offering a coveted US$100,000 contract and a place on ONE Championship’s global roster. The stakes are high, and the competition promises to be fierce.
Kongchai vs. Khanzadeh: A Strawweight Muay Thai Clash
The main event features a compelling matchup between former Rajadamnern Stadium Muay Thai World Champion Kongchai Chanaidonmueang and Iranian knockout artist Mehrdad Khanzadeh. Kongchai, a veteran of the ONE Friday Fights series, aims to recapture the form that saw him begin his ONE tenure with a four-fight winning streak. Khanzadeh, nicknamed “Black Wolf,” is looking for his second consecutive ONE victory and a career-defining win.
Khanzadeh’s Resilience
Khanzadeh recently demonstrated impressive toughness, securing a split-decision victory at ONE Friday Fights 125 after being knocked down during the bout. This resilience highlights his determination and refusal to give up, qualities that will be crucial against a seasoned opponent like Kongchai.
Co-Main Event: Denkriangkrai and Strungari Battle for a Contract
The co-main event pits Denkriangkrai Mavinn Muaythai against Moldovan finisher Valerii Strungari in a flyweight Muay Thai contest. Denkriangkrai has quietly amassed four consecutive victories, inspired by his Team Mavinn Muaythai teammate Shadow Mavinn, and is on the cusp of earning a six-figure contract. Strungari, making waves with a stunning knockout debut in November 2025, aims to prove his initial victory wasn’t a fluke.
Rising Stars and Highly Anticipated Debuts
Beyond the main and co-main events, ONE Friday Fights 148 showcases a wealth of talent. France’s Velihan Palit makes his ONE debut against Ranma in a bantamweight kickboxing matchup, bringing a seven-fight winning streak with him. Thailand’s Nongfahsai TOP PK Saenchai faces Wang Tsz Ching in atomweight Muay Thai, with Wang riding a six-fight win streak of her own.
International Representation
The card also features exciting international matchups, including Chinese phenom Sheng Yi Yang versus Japanese technician Shota Takezoe in strawweight kickboxing, and Spain’s Jorge Pastor welcoming Iranian newcomer Ahad Varghaeian in featherweight Muay Thai. A flyweight MMA bout between Uzbekistan’s Sattor Rizoev and Brazil’s Felipe Silva rounds out the diverse lineup.
