Yonis Anane Vs. Ricardo Sanchez, Plus Two More Bouts Added To ONE Friday Fights 170

ONE Championship has announced three exciting Muay Thai bouts for ONE Friday Fights 170, which will be held on September 11 at Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand. The event will feature strawweight and flyweight matchups, airing live to Asia primetime audiences.

In the strawweight division, a thrilling clash of teenagers is set to take place between Yonis Anane and Ricardo "El Mercenario" Sanchez. Anane, a 19-year-old French-Thai fighter, boasts a 48-10 career record and the distinction of being the youngest-ever WBC Muay Thai World Champion. His recent form has been disrupted by back-to-back losses, making September 11 a chance to regain momentum and prove his continued excellence in the division.

On the other hand, Sanchez, a 19-year-old Mexican fighter with an impressive 11-1 career record, has been on a two-fight unbeaten streak since making his ONE debut in April 2026. His powerful performances, including a TKO victory in kickboxing and a Muay Thai win in June, make for an intriguing stylistic and generational matchup against Anane, who carries more experience and a world championship pedigree.

The second strawweight matchup features Kongchai Chanaidonmueang against Ayad Albadr. Kongchai, a 23-year-old Thai fighter with a stellar record of 78-16 and 12-6 in promotional bouts, is currently on a four-fight winning streak. His strong form and high confidence level entering the September 11 bout make him a formidable opponent.

Albadr, a 24-year-old Iraqi fighter, has had a remarkable turnaround in his career. After dropping two fights following his debut, he quickly bounced back with five consecutive wins. Currently sitting at 5-2 with an overall pro record of 19-6, Albadr brings a blend of resilience and form that promises to make this strawweight contest one of the most intriguing matchups on the card.
