ONE Championship has finalized the nine-bout ONE Friday Fights 173 lineup for October 2 at Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.
The card follows The Inner Circle 33 on the same Friday broadcast day and keeps the late Asia-primetime block focused on Muay Thai and MMA. ONE’s official announcement lists eight Muay Thai bouts and two MMA matchups across flyweight, strawweight, atomweight and bantamweight divisions.
For MiddleEasy readers following the weekly Bangkok series, this is the next confirmed lineup after Friday’s event, where Superlek Jitmuangnon defeated Othman Rhouni and Yodkatanyu Jitmuangnon edged Liu Junchao. It also lands one day after ONE confirmed another future card with the Imangazaliev-Ortikov II title rematch.

Buakaew Meets Returning Nat Khat Min In The Main Event
Thailand’s Buakaew Sor Sor Pakorn is scheduled to headline the show against Myanmar’s Nat Khat Min in a flyweight Muay Thai bout. Buakaew is 2-0 in ONE Friday Fights appearances, with split-decision wins over Aldo Cruz and Jacob Thompson. That makes the October 2 assignment his first chance to move from prospect momentum into a consistent main-event role on the Lumpinee Stadium platform.
Nat Khat Min returns to ONE with a Lethwei background and a listed 32-4 career record. His presence gives the main event a clear Thailand-versus-Myanmar hook, while Buakaew gets a chance to extend his perfect run on the weekly series. It is also a useful stylistic booking because Nat Khat Min’s bare-knuckle background should force Buakaew to manage pressure rather than rely only on measured scoring bursts.
Tonglampoon Faces Dionatha Santos Tobias In The Co-Main Event
The co-main event matches Tonglampoon FA Group with Brazil’s Dionatha Santos Tobias in strawweight Muay Thai. Tonglampoon is one of the most experienced names on the card, with 10 previous weekly-series appearances and two wins over Mungkorn Sor Sombatfarm. ONE also listed his TKO of Topgun Kor Kanluak among his notable results, giving him a deeper resume than several other names on the bill.
Dionatha enters with a different kind of momentum. ONE’s announcement notes that both of his promotional victories have come by finish, including a first-round knockout of Kongpoxay PK Saenchai at ONE Friday Fights 101. That puts pressure on Tonglampoon to slow the pace early, because a third straight ONE finish would move Dionatha from promising action fighter into a more serious strawweight Muay Thai name.
ONE Friday Fights 173 Full Card
- Buakaew Sor Sor Pakorn vs. Nat Khat Min, flyweight Muay Thai
- Tonglampoon FA Group vs. Dionatha Santos Tobias, strawweight Muay Thai
- Payakrut Suajantokmuaythai vs. Andrii Mezentsev, strawweight Muay Thai
- Nongkhailek Dr.Knotmuaythai vs. Cal Cook, flyweight Muay Thai
- Gaichon Sor Prawatmuang vs. Tandiao Por Prawit, atomweight Muay Thai
- Imran Satiev vs. Babar Ali, flyweight MMA
- Joanne La vs. Yara Saleh, strawweight Muay Thai
- Youssef Ramadan vs. Jongjun Park, bantamweight MMA
- Kevin Oyervides vs. Hiroyuki, strawweight Muay Thai
The MMA portion is limited but still relevant. Imran Satiev vs. Babar Ali gives the flyweight division a development bout, while Youssef Ramadan vs. Jongjun Park does the same at bantamweight. Those matchups keep the card from being a pure Muay Thai showcase and give ONE more tape on prospects who could fit later regional events.
The lineup is built around athletes chasing a place on ONE’s main roster and a potential six-figure contract. With two MMA bouts mixed into a Muay Thai-heavy schedule, the October 2 card gives the Bangkok series another full slate before attention turns back to the larger numbered and Inner Circle events. The key takeaway is simple: Buakaew gets the top spot, Tonglampoon gets a dangerous finisher, and the rest of the card gives ONE nine more chances to identify the next weekly-series breakout.
