ONE Friday Fights 72 Results: Kongsuk Beats Ouraghi

Kongsuk Sitsarawatsuer defeated Joachim “Pantera” Ouraghi by unanimous decision in the main event of ONE Friday Fights 72. The event was held at Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok on July 26, 2024, and featured 11 bouts across Muay Thai, MMA, kickboxing and submission grappling. The main event went three rounds, while several undercard fights ended with early stoppages.

Kongsuk controls the headline bout

Kongsuk and Ouraghi met in a 135.4-pound Muay Thai contest. The judges returned a unanimous decision for Kongsuk after the three-round fight. That result gave the former two-time Lumpinee Stadium Muay Thai world champion a win over a French-Algerian opponent known for his aggressive striking. The official record confirms the winner and method; it does not support an exact strike differential or a claim that one fighter dominated every exchange.

The bout was the card’s central matchup, but the undercard provided the most immediate finishes. Beybulat Isaev stopped Alex “The Viking” Roberts by TKO at 0:33 of Round 1 in light heavyweight Muay Thai. Freddie Haggerty knocked out Maisangngern Sor Yingcharoenkarnchang at 2:59 of the opening round in strawweight action. Petnamkhong Sor Maneekhot also earned a first-round knockout at 2:48.

A mixed-ruleset event

ONE Friday Fights 72 included more than striking contests. The official card also featured lightweight MMA and a submission-grappling match, alongside Muay Thai and kickboxing. That range is part of the series’ format: athletes from different disciplines compete on the same show, and the result list records each bout under its own ruleset.

Other decisions included Theptaksin Sor Sornsing over Jelte Blommaert, Muanglao Kiattongyot over Songpandin Chor Kaewwiset, and Akif “King” Guluzada over Haruto Yasumoto. Pentor SP Kansart Paeminburi won by split decision against Thongsiam Lukjaoporongtom, one of the closer results of the night. These outcomes help explain why the event’s full card matters beyond the main event.

The event took place during a busy July schedule at Lumpinee Stadium. ONE’s official preview highlighted Kongsuk and Ouraghi as the headliners and noted appearances by Roberts, Isaev and Haggerty. The results subsequently showed each of those fighters on the card, with Kongsuk winning the decision and Isaev and Haggerty securing stoppages.
