Contract dreams fuel an action-packed ONE Friday Fights 128 at Bangkok’s iconic Lumpinee Stadium. ONE Championship returns with 12 matchups on Friday, October 10, featuring athletes chasing life-changing $100,000 contracts and main roster opportunities.
Scotland’s Stephen Irvine headlines against Thailand’s Rambong Sor Therapat in 130-pound Muay Thai action between fighters who overcame tremendous hardship. The 25-year-old “El Matador” rides a four-fight winning streak at ONE Friday Fights, bringing elusive technical style and devastating elbows into this crucial matchup.
Irvine started training at 6 years old after his father took him to the gym. After dominating the European junior scene with over 100 amateur fights, he chases his dream of following teammate Nico Carrillo’s path to ONE Championship glory.
Rambong’s story embodies martial arts’ transformative power. Growing up so poor that his family of gardeners had to ask neighbors for food, the 28-year-old used fight earnings to put himself through university, earning a sports science degree.
After his seven-fight winning streak was snapped, the southpaw pressure fighter is determined to reclaim momentum and secure the contract that would change his family’s life forever.
