Wuttikrai Wor Chakrawut survived the kind of late chaos that makes Lumpinee Stadium feel like a pressure cooker, edging Mohammad “Prince of Persia” Habibpour by unanimous decision in the bantamweight Muay Thai main event of ONE Friday Fights 168. It was a proper scrap for anyone who enjoys the difference between Muay Thai and kickboxing when the elbows start flying and clean counters matter more than pretty footwork.
The official result came on Friday, August 28, 2026, at Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand. Wuttikrai entered with the heat from last month’s win over Sonrak Fairtex, while Habibpour was trying to rebound from a rough promotional debut against Kongklai Sor Sommai. Instead of a clean showcase for either side, fans got a high-volume banger with body kicks, blood, and one very uncomfortable late wobble.

Habibpour Made Wuttikrai Work For Every Inch
Habibpour opened like a man who wanted to turn the ring into a phone booth. He kept moving, threw volume, and tried to make Wuttikrai answer every step forward. Wuttikrai stayed calm enough to counter through it, missing on an early axe kick before finding the short elbow that marked up Habibpour’s face and gave the Thai striker the first clean damage of the fight.
The second round kept the same nasty rhythm. Wuttikrai pushed back harder, digging two heavy kicks into the body, adding a knee downstairs, and slicing upstairs with another elbow. Habibpour did not fold. He kept marching, pinned Wuttikrai near the corner, and made the round close enough that nobody at ringside could get lazy with the scorecards. The clinch danger and upright exchanges were exactly why Muay Thai stance work turns into a survival skill when pressure fighters refuse to back off.
Then the third round got stupid in the best possible way. Habibpour, bleeding and still hunting, bit down and came after Wuttikrai again. Wuttikrai fired back with a big elbow and even had time for a little taunt, which is always brave until the other guy lands a brick. Habibpour did exactly that, cracking him with a left hand that badly rocked Wuttikrai and forced the Thai standout to move, clinch, and survive the final surge.
Habibpour added another left hook before the bell, but the early damage and cleaner stretches were enough for Wuttikrai. All three judges saw it his way, moving him to 52-20 and giving ONE Friday Fights 168 a main event that had no interest in being tidy. After three rounds where short elbows did real business, anyone still confused about why the strike changes fights can revisit the 12-6 elbow breakdown and then watch this one again with a better eye.
