ONE Friday Fights 159 takes place on Friday, 19th June 2026, at Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok, bringing another mixed card of Muay Thai, kickboxing, and MMA to one of combat sports’ most iconic venues. The event is headlined by a bantamweight Muay Thai matchup between Worapon and Lenny Blasi, with heavyweight kickboxing action in the co-main event.
Main Event
Worapon vs. Lenny Blasi gives the card a classic Friday Fights feel: high pace, striking-heavy, and built for action. Bantamweight Muay Thai main events at Lumpinee often produce fast exchanges, and this matchup should be no different if both fighters commit early.
Worapon will look to use the traditional Muay Thai tools that tend to shine in this setting. Blasi, meanwhile, enters as the kind of opponent who can make the fight interesting if he can disrupt rhythm and turn the bout into a more chaotic contest.
Co-Main Event
The co-main event features heavyweight kickboxing between Samet Agdeve and Roman Kryklya, giving the card a major power-fight centerpiece. That is a strong stylistic contrast to the main event and should help keep the momentum high through the top of the broadcast.
Heavyweight kickboxing bouts at ONE Friday Fights usually carry real knockout potential, and this one fits that profile. If either man finds clean space early, the fight could change quickly.
Main Card Depth
The rest of the lineup is spread across several weight classes and disciplines, which is part of what makes these shows effective. Xavier Gonzalez vs. Chatanan in flyweight Muay Thai and Petgarfield vs. Denis Dotsenko in bantamweight Muay Thai add more striking depth near the top of the card.
Further down, Arthur Klopp vs. Soner Sen brings bantamweight kickboxing into the mix, while Chayut vs. Hsiang Liao offers bantamweight MMA action. The card also includes lightweight MMA, flyweight kickboxing, and multiple atomweight and strawweight Muay Thai bouts, creating a full-spectrum showcase.
Event Identity
The strength of ONE Friday Fights cards is the variety. Rather than relying on one style, the promotion mixes striking and MMA under the same banner, which keeps the event accessible to fans with different interests.
Lumpinee Stadium remains a central part of that identity. The venue adds history and atmosphere, and it continues to give the Friday Fights series a recognizable home base in Bangkok.
What To Watch
The main event is the obvious focal point, but the heavyweight kickboxing co-main may be the most explosive bout on the card. If it reaches its expected power-fight pace, it could be one of the night’s defining moments.
The lower bouts also matter because ONE Friday Fights events often reward fighters who make strong early impressions. Fast finishes or standout performances can quickly raise a fighter’s profile in this format.
Final Outlook
ONE Friday Fights 159 looks like another strong Bangkok installment built around a mix of styles and a crowd-friendly main event. Worapon vs. Lenny Blasi should set the tone, while Samet Agdeve vs. Roman Kryklya gives the card added knockout potential.
With a deep roster of Muay Thai, kickboxing, and MMA bouts, the event has the kind of structure that makes Friday mornings and evenings in Bangkok feel like a true fight-night tradition.
