Four Thai fighters are 350,000 baht (US$10,000) richer after this week’s ONE Championship Friday Fights 10 card in Bangkok.
That includes 25-year-old Theptaksin Sor Sornsing, who defeated his countryman Yodkritsada Sor Sommai by unanimous decision in a 132-pound catchweight Muay Thai fight in the main event, and received a bonus from ONE CEO Chatri Sityodtong for his efforts.
“Today I feel so happy and so honoured to be here at ONE Championship.” Theptaksin told commentator Gianni Subba after his victory in Lumpinee Stadium.
The penultimate bonus winner of the night was 21-year-old Rak Erawan, who defeated Chusap Sor Salachee with a swarm of punches just over a minute into their 116-pound catchweight fight.
Thongpoon PK Saenchai also received a bonus from Chatri after deflating Tomorrow Kiatsongrit with punches just 24 seconds in a 118-pound catchweight bout. The 25-year-old, who has his name tattooed across his chest, thanked the ONE boss profusely in his post-fight interview.
The first bonus winner of the night was Yod-IQ PK Saenchai, who won his bantamweight Muay Thai bout with Samuel Bielen by second-round TKO. The 20-year-old laid out plans to use the money to build himself a house.
Other big winners of the night included Thailand’s Chorfah Tor. Sangtiennoi, who defeated Sherzod Kabutov by unanimous-decision in a 136-pound catchweight Muay Thai contest, and Russia’s Ivan Parshikov who submitted Japan’s Yu Karino in less than a minute in a bantamweight MMA bout – though neither man earned a bonus.
