ONE Championship has announced a bantamweight Muay Thai tournament. Four Thai fighters will participate with the fights featuring on the upcoming Bangkok cards.
Former title challenger Saemapetch Fairtex takes on Rodlek PKSaenchaigym in the first semi final. That fight is set for ONE: ‘No Surrender’ Part II on August 13th.
The second semi final pits Sangmanee Sathiangym against Kulabdam SorJorPiekUThai. Whoever emerges victorious from this matchup at ONE: ‘No Surrender’ Part III on August 21st will be expected to win the tournament.
The bantamweight Muay Thai title is currently the property of Nong-O Gaiyanghadao. In his most recent title defence he stopped Saemapetch at ONE: ‘Edge of Greatness’.
The winner of this tournament will presumably be next in line for a shot at the champion.
