ONE Championship's latest offering inside the Lumpinee Stadium, ONE Friday Fights 70, has all the makings of becoming another banger of a night come July 12.
This Friday, live in Asia primetime, the Home of Martial Arts returns to its usual hunting ground to bless the watching world with another stacked 11-fight card that promises to deliver nail-biting action and highlight-reel finishes.
Headlining the promotion's newest weekly installment inside the Mecca of Muay Thai is an explosive 130-pound catchweight Muay Thai duel between Scotsman Stephen Irvine and Thai hero Focus PK Wor Apinya.

'El Matador' has racked up three victories and a pair of knockouts across four appearances under the ONE banner, and he'd be looking to add another early finish to secure the six-figure contract and join his Deachkalek Muay Thai Academy teammate, Nico Carrillo, on the biggest platform of combat sports.
However, he must first find a way past Focus' finishing power, one that helped him cruise to a first-round KO in his promotional bow at ONE Friday Fights 60 this past April.
In the co-main event, two in-form Thai warriors – ET Wankhongohm MBK and Yodthongthai Sor Sommai – duke it out in the same weight class.
Both fighters are on a run of two successive wins, and given their action-only style and dynamite striking, this one could result in a closely fought contest or an early knockout.
ONE Friday Fights 70 will be free to watch on ONE Championship's YouTube channel and the ONE Super App in Asia primetime this Friday, July 12.
