ONE Friday Fights 172 results: Superlek tops Rhouni, 5 upsets

ONE Friday Fights 172 & The Inner Circle 32 at Lumpinee Stadium did what a good Friday Fights card does: it went fast early and got argumentative late. Fifteen bouts, six knockouts, nine decisions, two of them split. Of the 14 bouts with a consensus line, five went to the fighter who closed as the underdog, and a sixth closed as a coin flip at -111 against -110. The main event was not one of the surprises. Supalek Jitmuangnon, whom ONE has billed as both Supalek and Superlek Jitmuangnon (not Superlek Kiatmoo9, the Kicking Machine, who is a different fighter), took a unanimous decision over Othman Rhouni at bantamweight, about as cleanly as a -288 favorite is supposed to.

Every bout, with the per-fight numbers, is on the event page. On rulesets: our data tags seven bouts as Muay Thai and six as kickboxing. The other two (Saraliev vs Jahanara, Gafurov vs Heino) carry no ruleset tag, but they ran five-minute rounds and their stat sheets are full of takedowns and ground time, which makes them the MMA portion of the bill by any reading.

Superlek Jitmuangnon vs Othman Rhouni: never particularly close

The unofficial strike count we carry has Supalek landing 56 significant strikes to Rhouni's 28. The breakdown is where the fight was won: 15 leg kicks landed to 2, 17 body shots to 9. Total strikes finished 140 to 137, so Rhouni was never idle. He just wasn't landing anything clean. The market had this about right from the start, opening Supalek at -300 and closing him at -288.

I'll be honest about the limits of our file on the winner. The only other bout we hold for him is a unanimous decision over Sonrak Fairtex at ONE Friday Fights 10 in March 2023, so 2-0 on file is a floor, not a record, and I'm not going to invent the rest.

Rhouni's file is the more uncomfortable read. This is his third loss in three ONE appearances we have since May: a split decision to Panpayak Jitmuangnon under kickboxing rules at bantamweight on May 22, a unanimous decision to Jaradchai Maxjandee in Muay Thai at flyweight on July 10, and now this, back at bantamweight. Two rulesets, two divisions, three bouts in four months. That is a lot of variables to keep changing on a fighter still looking for his first win on this stage, and the matchmaking deserves as much of the blame as he does.

On to the rest of the night.

The judging: two splits and two stat-sheet puzzles

A tally of landed strikes is not a scorecard, and in Muay Thai especially, judges are scoring effect, not running a clicker. Still, some of these gaps are wide enough to ask about.

• Lamnamoonlek Torfunfarm def. Panpayak Jitmuangnon, split decision (kickboxing, flyweight). Our count has Lamnamoonlek ahead 81 to 43 in significant strikes, 34 to 9 to the head and 44 to 25 to the body. One judge still saw it for Panpayak. I would love to see that card, and I can't: there are no scorecards for this event in our data. Until ONE publishes cards as a matter of course, "split decision" is a verdict with no receipt attached. Panpayak had come down from bantamweight, where he'd won two straight (the Rhouni split, then a unanimous decision over Anuar Cisneros in July). Lamnamoonlek rebounds from a unanimous-decision loss to Yuan Pengjie in March.
• Yodkatanyu Jitmuangnon def. Liu Junchao, split decision (kickboxing, flyweight). This one is a genuine argument. Yodkatanyu led significant strikes 67 to 62 on the strength of the body (30 to 20) and the legs (14 to 2); Liu landed more to the head (40 to 23) and far more overall (195 to 126). The market drifted toward Yodkatanyu before fight night, from +135 at open to -108 at close, and still had him a slight underdog to Liu's -118. For Liu it is a third split-decision loss in 18 months on our file, after two to Akito Nakashima in 2025, and 1-4 across the five ONE bouts we hold. At some point that stops being bad luck and becomes a style that keeps handing the fight to three people at ringside.
• Kongthoranee Sor Sommai def. Yuan Pengjie, unanimous decision (kickboxing, flyweight). The biggest upset by the closing line: Kongthoranee at +196, Yuan at -250. By our count Yuan outlanded him 50 to 35 and won the body 23 to 7, and all three judges went the other way anyway. Kongthoranee snaps a four-fight skid on file (Nong-O Hama twice, Aslamjon Ortikov, and a knockout loss to Asadula Imangazaliev in January), and every earlier bout of his that carries a ruleset tag in our data is Muay Thai. New rules, first win in over a year. Yuan had been 2-0, including that win over Lamnamoonlek.
• Tangtang Sor Dechapan def. Trieu Thi Phuong Thuy, unanimous decision (Muay Thai, atomweight). Trieu edged the count 30 to 26; Tangtang, a -288 favorite, got all three cards. It ends a run of two straight split-decision losses, to Nongam Fairtex in November and Zeynep Cetintas in May.

The knockouts: six stoppages, five inside the first three minutes

• Yuya Shibata def. Bevan Ali Oguz, KO, R1 1:51 (kickboxing, featherweight). Fastest finish of the night, one knockdown, 19 to 10 in significant strikes. Shibata is 2-0 on file after stopping Mohammed Hdidi in February.
• Konstantin Shakhtarin def. Enzo Kartoum, KO, R1 1:57 (Muay Thai, featherweight). 26 significant strikes to 4, 14 of them to the body. Kartoum is 0-2 on file, and he and Rhouni are both listed with Team Mehdi Zatout, which makes it an 0-2 night for that camp.
• Nuapayak Jitmuangnon def. Suajan Sor Isarachot, KO, R1 2:09 (Muay Thai, flyweight). Two knockdowns, 19 to 6 landed, and he closed a slight underdog (-107 to -120). It's a clean rebound from his March decision loss to Arsoonnoi Sitjasing. The harder line belongs to Suajan: three knockout losses in 13 months on our file (August 2025, a third-round stoppage by that same Arsoonnoi in May, and tonight). That is a record that should buy a fighter a long break, not a quick rebooking.
• Teeyai Torfunfarm def. Mungkorn Boomdeksean, KO, R1 2:31 (Muay Thai, strawweight). Two knockdowns, and a third straight win after three straight losses in 2025. Mungkorn has now lost four in a row on file.
• Ma Zhenzhao def. Samransing Sitchalongsak, KO, R1 2:53 (Muay Thai, strawweight). Two knockdowns from the other closing underdog knockout winner (-101 to -125). It was Samransing's first bout on our file since May 2024.
• Yutaro Hori def. Duangbuppha O Sansuk, TKO, R3 0:35 (kickboxing, bantamweight). The only bout without a line, and the only knockout that took its time. Duangbuppha won the head 57 to 32; Hori landed 35 leg kicks to 1 and scored a knockdown before the stop.

The rest of the decisions

• Basir Saraliev def. Sarmad Jahanara, unanimous decision (lightweight). The heaviest favorite on the card at -723, and he fought like it: 3 of 9 takedowns, 2:52 of control, 65 to 47 in significant strikes. That's four straight wins on file, three of them in ACA, with his only recorded loss a 2022 split decision. Jahanara's two-fight streak ends.
• Khurshed Gafurov def. Leevi Heino, unanimous decision (featherweight). Gafurov closed -320, landed 3 of 6 takedowns and outlanded Heino 249 to 131 in total strikes. Heino made the night's only submission attempt.
• Zoe Neuschwander def. Susanti Ndapataka, unanimous decision (Muay Thai, flyweight). 3-0 on file after Yara Saleh in January and a split over Taylor McClatchie in May, with a knockdown and a 71 to 51 edge tonight.
• Arsen Soiyrkas def. Jin Mandokoro, unanimous decision (kickboxing, strawweight). A closing underdog at -105 to -120, Soiyrkas won the body 29 to 11 and the count 67 to 57. Mandokoro was coming off a February knockout of Eduard Markarian.

The ledger

Fighters carrying the Jitmuangnon name went 3-1, the one loss being Panpayak's split. The Torfunfarm name went 2-0, and one of those wins came over a Jitmuangnon. Closing favorites won eight, underdogs won five (two by knockout, three on the cards), and the pick'em went to Lamnamoonlek. That consensus was built from two or three books per bout, which is a thin market, and it showed.

What I keep coming back to is the Lamnamoonlek card. Somebody at Lumpinee watched a fight our count scores 81 to 43 and gave it to the other man. Maybe that judge saw something the numbers can't. The only way anyone outside the building will ever know is if the card gets published, so why doesn't it?
