ONE Friday Fights: “Conditioned to handle heavier volume”

Multitime Muay Thai world champion Yodlekpet Or Atchariya of Thailand has spent his entire career walking into fights against bigger men.

However, the Thai bruiser has shown not a single ounce of fear. In fact, he thrives in being the underdog against towering foes.

Yodlekpet headlines ONE Friday Fights 157 on Friday, against the hard-hitting Saw Min Min at Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok.

The 31-year-old is chasing his 95th career victory and inching closer to a life-changing US$100,000 main roster contract.

But to secure that prize, he must overcome another size disadvantage against Saw Min Min, who’s dropping down from bantamweight.

The Myanmarese is carrying a Lethwei-hardened chin and three ONE Championship stoppages.

While he’s not afraid of his upcoming adversary, Yodlekpet is not downplaying the threat either.

“The Destroyer” told ONE Championship ahead of this pivotal match:

“He’s going to hold a massive size and power-impact advantage, and his chin will be conditioned to handle heavier volume.”

Yodlekpet has navigated size disadvantages his entire career by relying on speed, precision, and a low kick game designed to dismantle larger fighters.

Saw Min Min’s durability is a known factor, but the Thai veteran refuses to back down one inch.
