Thompson was supposed to fight Pethuahin Jitmuangnon. He now gets a different opponent with about a week to go, and one who has already beaten Pethuahin: Rambong won a majority decision over him at Friday Fights 150.
Rambong, 29, has 11 wins in 16 appearances on the weekly series, four by finish. Three of his last four wins came on the scorecards, over Sornsueknoi FA Group, Pethuahin and Songpandin Chor Kaewwiset. MiddleEasy reports that his most recent fight was a unanimous-decision loss to Chartpayak Saksatoon at The Inner Circle 28, so he is also looking to bounce back.
Thompson, 23, represents Team Jai Dee and has gone the distance in all four of his ONE appearances. He beat Takuma Ota by unanimous decision at Friday Fights 157 and also holds a win over Yodseksan Rodsuayjajed. According to MiddleEasy, a win here would give him consecutive victories in ONE for the first time. With both men leaning on the judges, this flyweight Muay Thai bout looks likely to be a scoring contest.
The co-main event carries more knockout risk. Khunsuk, 22, has finished six of his eight ONE wins by knockout, including Kongburapha Or Thepsupa in round three. YodUdon, 28, also stopped Kongburapha, in round one, and added a second-round stoppage of Petkriangkrai Jitmuangnon. MiddleEasy notes that both men's latest listed results were losses, Khunsuk to Har Ling Om on the scorecards and YodUdon by second-round knockout to Mahesuan Aekmuangnon.
The undercard includes two MMA bouts and a strawweight kickboxing fight. Results are still to come, and every fighter on the card is chasing a US$100,000 contract chance and a spot on ONE's main roster.
