ONE Friday Fights 169 has its marching orders for Friday, September 4, and the top of the card is a tidy little Lumpinee violence sampler. Petmuangsri Torfunfarm meets Scotland’s Gregor Thom in a flyweight Muay Thai main event at Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, with the weekly ONE series again dangling the kind of carrot that makes fighters throw with bad intentions: a US$100,000 contract and a route to the main roster.
The nine-bout lineup keeps ONE’s usual Friday formula intact, mixing Muay Thai, kickboxing, and MMA instead of letting one rule set hog the buffet. It also lands one week after ONE Friday Fights 168 loaded Wuttikrai vs. Mohammad Habibpour into Bangkok, so the promotion is staying on that weekly treadmill where a quiet name can become a problem in one clean round.
The card announcement is below:
Petmuangsri Meets A Scottish Finisher
Petmuangsri, 23, represents TDed99 gym and comes in with momentum after two straight wins in the series. He outpointed Chankrit Manop Gym, then edged Diogo “La Pantera” Miguel Silva by split decision at ONE Friday Fights 156. That is not the most comfortable way to build a streak, but it is very much the Lumpinee tax. Nobody gets smooth pavement in that building for long.
Thom brings a different kind of warning label. The 26-year-old Aberdeen Combat Centre fighter has won both of his ONE Friday Fights appearances by knockout, including a finish of Donking Yotharakmuaythai at ONE Friday Fights 142. He has already shown he can turn one exchange into a highlight, and now he gets a main-event slot against a Thai fighter trying to make his own push toward the bigger ONE stage.
Thom’s recent fight-night look is below:
The co-main event stays in the flyweight Muay Thai pocket with Khunponnoi Sor Sommai against Sunvo Torfunfarm. Khunponnoi, 33, owns a 10-3 ONE record and has stacked two straight wins, including a decision over Thom and a knockout of Ye Yint Naung at ONE Friday Fights 153. Sunvo is newer to the promotional grind, but his knockout of Khundet PK Saenchai at ONE Friday Fights 161 is exactly the kind of clip that gets matchmakers interested in more chaos.
Watch Sunvo’s head-kick finish below:

The lineup is Petmuangsri Torfunfarm vs. Gregor Thom in flyweight Muay Thai, Khunponnoi Sor Sommai vs. Sunvo Torfunfarm in flyweight Muay Thai, Dansiam Weerasakreck vs. Hicham Rahmoun in featherweight Muay Thai, Sunday Sor Sombatfarm vs. Kongpoxay PK Saenchai in strawweight kickboxing, Pinsiam Sitbonsakon vs. Yodphupa TeamMehdiZatout in flyweight kickboxing, Ruslan Bulut vs. Sanzhar Mansurov in strawweight MMA, Siwanat Mavinn Muaythai vs. Yanis Ben Alaya in flyweight Muay Thai, Ethan Brockett vs. Pedro Duarte in featherweight MMA, and Daniel Vortiah vs. Ryoya Inai in featherweight kickboxing.
The bigger picture is simple enough. ONE has kept these Friday cards useful because they are not just filler between major events. They are contract auditions with small gloves, heavy pressure, and a crowd that knows when someone is about to get pulled into deep water. After recent ONE coverage like Joshua Perreira and Lee Seung Cheol getting ONE Fight Night 48 assignments and Yonis Anane drawing Ricardo Sanchez at ONE Friday Fights 170, this card gives Petmuangsri, Thom, Khunponnoi, and Sunvo their next chance to kick the door open.
