Panpadej Looksuan edged out fellow Thai star Khunpon Aekmuangnon via unanimous decision in their flyweight Muay Thai main event clash at ONE Friday Fights 166 inside the iconic Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.
The bout aired live in Asia primetime this past Friday, August 14, with ONE Fight Night 46: Hemetsberger vs. Diachkova on Prime Video set to wrap ONE Championship's triple-header weekend on the same hallowed grounds in less than 24 hours.
Both Thai compatriots arrived chasing redemption after painful setbacks, but it was Panpadej who turned his lessons into action. Learning from his recent losses, the 24-year-old took a more calculated approach against his lanky opponent, using shifty feints and sharp head movement to negate the reach disadvantage.

Khunpon's front kicks found the midsection repeatedly, but the NF Looksuan combatant timed his entries with crisp punch combinations set up behind a piston-like jab. Khunpon, on the flip side, countered with a lunging left cross that kept the opening frame evenly matched.
