Three years after their first clash, the Dedduanglek vs Kongsuk rematch promises to be a tactical turning point in bantamweight MMA.

This Friday, August 21, Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok will once again pulse with the rhythm of a legendary duel. Dedduanglek Torfunfarm and Kongsuk Sitsarawatsuer, two Thai bantamweights, face off for the second time in a fight that could redefine their careers in ONE Championship. Three years after their first, tight and intense encounter, this rematch is shaping up to be a tactical battle where every detail will matter.

A Tactical Duel with High Stakes

With a record of 6 wins in 9 fights for Kongsuk and 4 wins in 5 outings for Dedduanglek, both athletes arrive with clear ambitions. Kongsuk, known for his precise striking and fluid footwork, will need to adapt his strategy against a now more mature Dedduanglek. "This fight isn’t just a rematch, it’s an opportunity to prove I’ve improved," states Dedduanglek. His recent experience, forged in adversity, could make the difference.

Resilience as the Secret Weapon

Dedduanglek Torfunfarm has seen highs and lows, but every loss has brought him closer to his current level. "Every fight I’ve lost has taught me to handle pressure better," he admits. This resilience, combined with refined technique, makes him a formidable opponent. Kongsuk, for his part, will need to avoid the pitfalls of a predictable fight. His success will depend on his ability to exploit his rival’s weaknesses without falling into counterattacks.

This rematch thus promises to be a tactical laboratory where fight IQ will be as crucial as power. ONE Championship is banking on this duel to reignite interest in the bantamweight division, and both men have every reason to shine.
