The seven-time Muay Thai world champion comes into this bout carrying the weight of a first-round knockout loss after his last outing. That defeat hurt. But Panpayak’s 29-year-old frame still harbors the technical brilliance that made him one of Thailand’s most decorated strikers.
His devastating kick to the left body remains the signature weapon. The sharp boxing combinations still flow naturally. And those elite clinching skills haven’t let him down despite recent setbacks. However, Zhao represents everything dangerous about ONE’s weekly development series.
The 28-year-old Chinese striker is coming off a spectacular third-round knockout at ONE Friday Fights 124, where he erased two rounds of dominance with one perfectly timed strike. Furthermore, that finish announced his arrival as a legitimate threat to everyone who faced him.
Petkhaokradong faces the Turkish finisher in the ONE Friday Fights 136 co-main event
The co-main event features lightweight Muay Thai action between rising Thai phenomenon Petkhaokradong Lukjaomaesaithong and Turkish finisher Ali Kelat. Both fighters carry their finishing instincts with them in every exchange.
Petkhaokradong bounced back from a brutal first-round knockout with his own first-round stoppage in his most recent outing. The 20-year-old southpaw applies relentless forward pressure, built around powerful left body kicks and straight knees that overwhelm the opposition.
Kelat arrives on an eleven-fight winning streak, highlighted by eight knockouts. The 26-year-old Turkish national champion combines solid boxing fundamentals with dangerous flying knees that suddenly end fights. His Team Mehdi Zatout training gives him the polish needed for the main selection.
The card also features undefeated Russian star Maksim Bakhtin against Iraqi technician Mustafa Al Tebreeki in lightweight Muay Thai. Bakhtin has looked spectacular in two ONE appearances with back-to-back knockouts using exceptional footwork and creative spinning attacks. Al Tebreeki brings experienced knowledge as a technical counter-striker who chooses his spots carefully.
