Bangkok’s legendary Lumpinee Stadium plays host to another must-see night of martial arts this Friday, March 13, as ONE Friday Fights 146 comes to life in Asia primetime.
Thirteen bouts spanning Muay Thai, kickboxing, and MMA make up the card, with athletes from across the globe putting everything on the line — and for many, a US$100,000 contract and a place on ONE’s main roster is within reach.
Headlining the show, 18-year-old Thai phenom Detchawalit Silkmuaythai steps into the main event for the first time when he squares off with Ukrainian newcomer Denis Dotsenko in a bantamweight Muay Thai showdown.

Detchawalit has been nothing short of sensational inside the ring, rattling off three consecutive stoppage victories — each more eye-catching than the last. The Chonburi native’s most recent appearance ended in just 25 seconds when he put Saw Min Min away with a devastating head kick-and-punch combination at ONE Friday Fights 141. With a 49-5 professional record and the kind of finishing instinct that sets future stars apart, Detchawalit arrives here as the most exciting young star on the roster.
Dotsenko, though, is no easy welcome to the main event. The Tiger Muay Thai product is an awkward, unpredictable boxer whose head movement, feints, and in-and-out footwork have given opponents fits. The 25-year-old Ukrainian comes in on a two-fight winning streak and carries the kind of unorthodox style capable of disrupting even the most polished technicians.
In the co-main event, decorated Thai veteran Kongsuk Sitsarawatsuer puts his exceptional technique to the test against hard-charging Iranian debutant Babak Solouki in a bantamweight Muay Thai contest.

Few athletes on the ONE Friday Fights roster carry Kongsuk’s pedigree. The 25-year-old from Nakhon Ratchasima is a two-time Lumpinee Stadium World Champion, a two-time Thailand Champion, a three-time Channel 7 Champion, and the 2018 Lumpinee Stadium Fighter of the Year — all achievements that speak to a career built on relentless excellence. Kongsuk’s trademark left body kick and razor-sharp footwork make him a nightmare to deal with at any level.
Solouki enters as a wild card. The Iranian is an explosive, unpredictable brawler who thrives in chaotic exchanges, and his willingness to throw every weapon in his arsenal makes him a dangerous proposition for anyone — even a fighter of Kongsuk’s caliber.
Rounding out the featured bout, unbeaten New Zealand powerhouse Titus Proctor brings his 21-0 record and sledgehammer left hook to Lumpinee Stadium when he collides with Myanmar’s fearless Tun Min Aung in a lightweight Muay Thai clash.

Proctor’s story is as compelling as his fists are dangerous. Raised by a foster grandmother after a turbulent childhood in Auckland and Hamilton, the 21-year-old turned to martial arts to channel his energy — and the results have been remarkable. Fifteen of his 21 victories have come by way of stoppage, including a stunning body punch knockout at ONE Friday Fights 130, and his left hook ranks among the most feared weapons at lightweight.
Standing across from him will be Tun Min Aung, who brings a remarkable 45-3 record and the relentless pressure of a lethwei specialist who simply does not stop coming forward. The 19-year-old from Myanmar has the power and the will to make life uncomfortable for anyone, and with a six-figure contract on the line, he’ll be pushing every second of every round.
The rest of the card is loaded with high-caliber action, featuring the likes of strawweight Muay Thai standout Kongchai Chanaidonmueang, flyweight Muay Thai talents Rungruanglek TN Muaythai and Kraithong PU Phabai, MMA contenders Dias Otegen and Zhang Jinhu, and atomweight talents Petkriangkrai Jitmuangnon and Misaki. Representing Thailand, Ukraine, Myanmar, Kazakhstan, New Zealand, China, Iran, Japan, and beyond, ONE Friday Fights 146 is a true showcase of global martial arts at its finest.
