ONE Friday Fights 4 - 2022-02-10

Lumpinee Boxing Stadium, Bangkok, Thailand

Another three-sport week: 7 Muay Thai fights, 2 MMA fights, and a kickboxing bout. We’ve gone from 12 fights to 11 down to 10 over 4 shows.

The main event features Duangsompong Jitmuangnon taking on Batman Or.Atchariya. Duangsompong is 24 years old and fights out of the same gym as the legend Rodtang. He had a record of 3-2-1 in 2022. He’s about 3 inches taller than his opponent.

Batman loves popular culture character Batman and was encouraged by his coach to wear a Batman mask to the ring for the past 6-7 years until enough people called him Batman that he changed his ring name to Batman. He acknowledged in the build-up that he’s had to alter his training to account for ONE’s 3-rounds + MMA gloves being different from the traditional Muay Thai 5-rounds + boxing gloves. Batman was 4-2 in 2022 and is on a two-fight losing streak.

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.

ONE Kickboxing: Regular fights 3 rounds of 3 minutes, title fights 5 rounds of 3 minutes. Scored on the 10-Point Must System. 3 knockdowns in a round is a TKO. Elbows are not allowed, no throws, no grappling. Fighters use 8/10-ounce boxing gloves.
