Legendary Thai fighters Sam-A Gaiyanghadao and Nong-O Gaiyanghadao have been added to the ONE Friday Fights 81 card.
The Bangkok crowd at Lumpinee Stadium will be packed as it welcomes the local heroes on September 27.
Before signing with ONE Championship Sam-A held Lumpinee Stadium titles in two separate divisions and Thailand titles in four.
The 40 year old from Buriram has been one of the best Muay Thai fighters this century.
Sam-A has held both the strawweight and flyweight ONE Championship Muay Thai titles and will face Akram Hamidi, an Algerian fighter 15 years his junior, on September 27.

Meanwhile, Nong-O held Lumpinee Stadium titles in four different divisions. He was the ONE Championship bantamweight champion for four years but saw his reign ended by Jonathan Haggerty in 2023.
The 37 year old is coming off a win over Kulabdam Sor Jor Piek U-Thai but has been handed a very difficult looking match-up against Russian fighter Kiamrian Nabati, who has beaten every opponent he has ever faced as a professional.
Nabati beat three top Thai fighters on ONE Championship’s Friday night series and was rewarded with a multi-fight contract.
He will be looking to establish himself as a title contender in the bantamweight division with a win over the No 5-ranked Nong-O.
While Sam-A and Nong-O are coming towards the end of their careers, the card will also feature an up and coming Thai star: Shadow Singmawynn
A former Rajadamnern Stadium welterweight champion, he is coming off two impressive wins at ONE Championship’s Friday night events.
He has been matched with Mohammad Siasarani, an Iranian has won four fights out of four on ONE Championship’s Friday night Lumpinee Stadium series and will be looking for the biggest win of his career.
The event looks set to be headlined by a featherweight Muay Thai fight between Superbon Banchamek and Jo Nattawut.
In the co-main event Japanese star Takeru Segawa is taking on Black Panther in a flyweight kickboxing bout.
