Get ready, fight fans—ONE Championship is bringing the heat back to Bangkok's legendary Lumpinee Stadium for another electrifying Friday night showdown. ONE Friday Fights 153, set for May 8, promises a stacked nine-bout card that blends rising stars with a major promotional debut, all vying for a life-changing US$100,000 contract and a spot on the global roster.
Headlining the action is a bantamweight Muay Thai clash that pits Thailand's own Worapon Lukjaoporongtom against French newcomer Tom Casse. Worapon has been on a tear in the ONE Friday Fights series, delivering back-to-back first-round knockouts over Soe Lin Oo and Arthur Brossier. Known for devastating knees, heavy hands, and a crushing clinch, the Buriram native is riding high on two straight performance bonuses. Standing across from him is Casse, an aggressive puncher nicknamed "No Time," who brings polished boxing skills into his highly anticipated promotional debut. Expect fireworks from the opening bell.
The co-main event adds even more intrigue with the arrival of Cyber Sor Tienpo, the 2018 Rajadamnern Stadium Fighter of the Year and former World Champion. He makes his ONE debut against Dedduanglek Torfunfarm in another bantamweight Muay Thai battle. Dedduanglek, a Road to ONE: Thailand winner, is eager to build on his technical masterclass win over Sonrak Fairtex this past March, proving he belongs among the elite.
Rounding out the international flavor, the card features the return of Taylor McClatchie, the Canadian who earned her contract by winning the 2023 Road to ONE: Canada tournament. A former scientist who traded her biology career for the cage, McClatchie faces Switzerland's Zoe Neuschwander in a flyweight Muay Thai bout. Neuschwander, representing Phuket Fight Club, looks to carry momentum from her decisive promotional debut in April. With a lineup this explosive, ONE Friday Fights 153 is shaping up to be a must-watch event for any combat sports fan—and the perfect excuse to gear up in your favorite fight-week apparel.
