Bantamweight Muay Thai contenders Suablack Tor Pran49 and Kulabdam Sor Jor Piek Uthai will both seek to return to the win column at ONE Friday Fights 81.
On September 27, live in Asian primetime from the 'Mecca of Muay Thai', Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, these Thai compatriots will trade heavy leather in what could be a three-round showstopper.
Suablack, who became an instant fan favorite for his tree-trunk legs, came in like a hurricane and put the entire division on notice with a marvelous 6-0 start in the home of martial arts.

His last three wins came against some serious competition, including Craig Coakley, Stefan Korodi, and Vladimir Kuzmin.
However, the 28-year-old lost some steam after Kiamran Nabati surprisingly snapped his winning streak with a violent knockout at ONE Friday Fights 68 in June.
Suablack can redeem himself against Kulabdam and work his way back into contention in the stacked 145-pound Muay Thai ranks. However, 'Left Meteorite' is also hungry to end a two-fight slide with another decisive finish.
Before dropping his last two contests against Nong-O Hama and Nabil Anane, Kulabdam was on a four-fight rampage and was on the cusp of breaking into the top five.
One thing's for sure, sparks are bound to fly when two heavy-handed fighters with something to prove collide at ONE Friday Fights 81.
