Lumpinee Boxing Stadium, Bangkok, Thailand
E.T. returns from a 37-second flying knee win at OFF11 to take on Konghoranee, who is 1-1 at OFF and lost in the main event of OFF12. Show features two kickboxing bouts, the first time kickboxing rules have appeared at OFF since OFF8 two months ago.
ONE Muay Thai: Regular fights 3 rounds of 3 minutes, title fights 5 rounds of 3 minutes. Scored on the 10-Point Must System, but judges must declare a winner if the points are even at the end of the fight. 3 knockdowns in a round is a TKO. Elbows allowed, no throws, no grappling. Fighters fight in the 4 oz. MMA gloves instead of boxing gloves. ONE referees tend to break up the clinch almost immediately instead of letting the fighters work out of it.
ONE MMA: Regular fights 3 rounds of 5 minutes, title fights 5 rounds of 5 minutes. Bout scored in its entirety, not round-by-round. Knees to the head of a grounded opponent are legal, soccer kicks are not.
