Seksan versus Pakorn added to ONE Friday Fights 147
Written by admin on February 20, 2026
Seksan Or Kwanmuang and Pakorn PK Saenchai are headed for a long-awaited rubber match on the global stage. ONE Championship has booked the pair in a bantamweight Muay Thai showdown at ONE Friday Fights 147 on March 20 at Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.
The card already features Nabil Anane’s ONE Bantamweight Muay Thai World Title defense against Rambolek Chor Ajalaboon. It also features the vacant ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World Title clash between Nong-O Hama and Asadula Imangazaliev.
Seksan and Pakorn first crossed paths in 2014. Seksan earned a hard-fought decision in their opener before Pakorn evened the score just one month later. The trilogy was originally slated for ONE Friday Fights 137 last December, but Seksan was forced to withdraw through injury.
Now fully recovered, “The Man Who Yields To No One” returns with familiar motivation — and a rival who has been waiting just as long to settle the score.
Seksan has compiled a 10-1 ONE Championship record since joining the promotion in 2023. He scored a second-round stoppage of Liam Harrison at ONE 168: Denver that earned him a US$50,000 performance bonus.
However, a shocking TKO loss to Asa Ten Pow at ONE Fight Night 30 triggered a three-fight skid. He also lost to Muangthai PK Saenchai and Suablack Tor Pran49. This puts his reputation on the line heading into March.
Pakorn looks to establish bantamweight supremacy over Seksan
Pakorn arrives at ONE Friday Fights 147 with his own points to prove. The 35-year-old five-time Muay Thai World Champion announced his ONE Championship arrival in emphatic fashion with a first-round finish of Rafi Bohic, only to suffer a brutal second-round knockout loss to Fabio Reis that halted his momentum.
He resurfaced at ONE Friday Fights 137 in December as Seksan’s replacement, facing Suablack and turning in a sharp performance — displaying the technical precision and granite chin that have defined his career — to secure a unanimous decision in an entertaining slugfest.
A win over Seksan on March 20 would do more than settle a personal score. It would put Pakorn squarely in the picture for a life-changing six-figure contract on the main roster and announce him as a force to be reckoned with in the ONE bantamweight Muay Thai division.
Both men have everything to gain and carry styles built for chaos — relentless aggression on one side, veteran savvy and power on the other. When two fighters with this much shared history finally meet for the final time, fireworks are all but guaranteed.
