Two razor-close battles have failed to produce a clear winner between Yodlekpet “The Destroyer” Or Atchariya and Pompet Pongsuphan PK.The Thai rivals will finally settle their 1-1 series in an highly anticipated flyweight Muay Thai trilogy in the main event of ONE Friday Fights 170 on Friday, September 11. The card broadcasts live in Asia primetime from Bangkok’s iconic Lumpinee Stadium.View this post on InstagramYodlekpet claimed their first meeting by split decision at ONE Friday Fights 120 in August 2025, before Pompet answered with a tightly contested split decision victory of his own six weeks later at ONE Friday Fights 126.Both men return with renewed momentum. Yodlekpet has secured three straight victories since their second encounter, while Pompet heads into this ultimate rubber match riding back-to-back stoppage wins.Yodlekpet Plans To Keep His Foot On The GasYodlekpet enters the trilogy with his confidence completely restored after reeling off three consecutive victories in the world’s largest martial arts organization.The four-time Muay Thai World Champion spent his latest camp at Silk Muay Thai in Pattaya. His recent run of form has given the 31-year-old veteran renewed belief ahead of another demanding assignment against a highly familiar opponent.Yodlekpet said:“After stringing together some good wins, my confidence is sky-high. It really boosted my morale. I’m going to give it everything I’ve got, same as always. No backing down.”View this post on InstagramBeyond his surging confidence, Yodlekpet believes his time at Silk Muay Thai has sharpened his overall speed and defensive movement. But his most crucial adjustment for Pompet stems directly from what he believes cost him their second encounter.“The Destroyer” felt he allowed his work rate to dip at pivotal moments. This time, he aims to keep his attacks meticulously accurate and continuous, refusing to give Pompet any breathing room to swing the momentum.He explained:“I need to throw precise strikes and keep a relentless pace. In the last fight, I paused and let my volume drop toward the end. I took my foot off the gas in round two. If I hadn’t stopped throwing combinations, I believe I would have taken that second fight.”View this post on InstagramYodlekpet is fully prepared to bring the trilogy to an early conclusion if the opportunity presents itself, trusting his heavy punches and sharp elbows to get the job done.At the same time, he knows he will be dealing with a highly evolved version of Pompet. He views his fellow Thai standout as considerably stronger and far more versatile than when he first began competing under the ONE banner.Yodlekpet said:“If the opportunity presents itself, I’m definitely closing the show.“He’s improved tremendously. He’s much stronger than before and brings a wider variety of weapons to the ring. He’s a completely different fighter compared to when he first started in ONE.”View this post on InstagramPompet
