Two major Muay Thai matchups have been added to the ONE Friday Fights 137 ‘tentpole’ card on December 19.
Seksan Or Kwanmuang is set to face Pakorn PK Saenchai in a trilogy bout, and Kulabdam Sor Jor Piek Uthai will meet PTT Apichart Farm in another all-Thai showdown, ONE Championship announced this week.
The event at Bangkok’s Lumpinee Stadium is expected to close out ONE’s 2025 calendar in Thailand and is currently slated to be headlined by a featherweight kickboxing clash between Tawanchai PK Saenchai and Liu Mengyang.
For Seksan, it’s a significant move up to 145 pounds after spending much of his ONE career fighting at 140.
The 36-year-old fan favourite – known as ‘The Man Who Yields to No One’ – is looking to end a difficult year on a high after three straight defeats to Asa Ten Pow, Muangthai PK Saenchai, and Suablack Tor Pran49.
Before that run, Seksan had lost just once in 11 bouts under the ONE banner, building a reputation as one of the most entertaining fighters on the Friday Fights circuit – and even scoring some big wins at coveted ONE numbered events.
‘I don’t know if I will win or lose, but I know it’s going to be fun,’ Seksan wrote on social media, hinting that excitement, not caution, remains his trademark.
His opponent, 35-year-old Pakorn, has not fought since September 2024 when he was stopped by Fabio Reis.
The two men share one of Muay Thai’s classic rivalries, having split their first two meetings more than a decade ago – both at Lumpinee Stadium, outside the ONE promotional banner. Seksan won the first by decision in April 2014, before Pakorn edged the rematch a month later in another five-round war.
Also announced for December 19, Kulabdam will continue his push for a full-time ONE Championship contract when he takes on PTT in a bantamweight Muay Thai contest.
Kulabdam, 27, has won four straight and eight of his last 10 bouts, with his only defeats in that span coming against current champions Nabil Anane and former king Nong-O Hama.
PTT, 28, remains a fan favourite but has yet to hit top form since joining ONE earlier this year after a long stint with Thai Fight. He dropped a surprise split decision to kickboxer Elies Abdelali in June before narrowly beating Alessio Malatesta in September.
ONE Friday Fights 137 will air live on Channel 7 HD in Thailand from 7:30pm.
