‘Double Down On My Victory’, Numsurin Ready To Crush Songchainoi’s Dreams Once Again At ONE Friday Fights 160

He beat Songchainoi Kiatsongrit once, derailed his rival’s dreams, and earned himself a ONE World Title opportunity of his own. Now, Numsurin Chor Ketwina is ready to do it all over again.

The 30-year-old Thai veteran returns to face a familiar foe in an atomweight Muay Thai main event at ONE Friday Fights 160 on Friday, June 26, live in Asia primetime at Bangkok’s Lumpinee Stadium.

When these two last met in 2025, Numsurin claimed a majority decision victory that snapped Songchainoi’s nine-fight winning streak and earned him a shot at the inaugural ONE Atomweight Muay Thai World Championship against Nadaka.

Numsurin’s 105-21 striking record and 6-2 ONE mark tell the story of a battle-tested veteran who has operated at the highest levels of Muay Thai for years. The memory of their first clash remains sharp, and Numsurin’s recollection of how it unfolded cuts through any revisionist narrative.

Speaking to onefc.com, he said:

“There was a bit of drama in the first round when he clipped me and I went down. Honestly, that was a flash knockdown where the referee could have either counted it or waved it off. Personally, I wasn’t buzzed at all; I just lost my footing. Then in round two, I turned the tables and scored a knockdown of my own by timing a beautiful left hook right to his face.”

Songchainoi is nobody’s easy night. The 25-year-old from Kiatsongrit Muay Thai Gym carries a 10-2 ONE record, relentless forward pressure, and the kind of punching power that has troubled every opponent he has shared the ring with.

Numsurin has felt those hands firsthand, and he arrives at this rematch with a precise understanding of what makes his rival dangerous but where the cracks remain.

He said:

“Songchainoi is incredibly durable, and he packs the heaviest hands in this division. Having fought him before, I know for a fact that you cannot just stand there, shell up, and block his punches head-on. You have to use your head movement and slip his shots. On the flip side, his weakness is his kicking game, his kicks are still a bit slow and lack real thudding power.”

Numsurin has watched Songchainoi closely since their first encounter, including his five-round battle with Nadaka at ONE SAMURAI 1 earlier this year. The assessment is measured and fair, but it does not change his fundamental read on where his rival stands heading into this rematch.

The TDed99 star said:

“To be honest, I don’t think Songchainoi has evolved or become any more dangerous since he lost to me. He’s still bringing the exact same style to the table, pressing forward, throwing wild hooks, and just relying on his sheer power. That being said, I have to give it to him, he was absolutely in top form against Nadaka. He put up a way better, more competitive, and more entertaining fight against Nadaka than I did.”

Numsurin Has A Plan For Every Scenario

Numsurin Chor Ketwina is not walking into this rematch with a single game plan. He is walking in with several.

Whether Songchainoi Kiatsongrit comes out throwing bombs as he typically does or decides to switch things up and fight at a more measured pace, the TDed99 veteran insists he has prepared for every version of the matchup. There are no blind spots, no surprises waiting for him on June 26.

He said:

“I see the fight going one of two ways. The first scenario is that he comes out swinging and tries to turn it into a dogfight like he always does. But even if he decides to switch things up and play a technical, tactical game, I’m not worried at all. I’ve prepared a game plan for every single scenario.”

Behind the preparation lies a level of ambition that has only grown since his ONE World Title challenge against Nadaka. Numsurin is not simply looking to win a rematch and settle a personal score. He is looking to make a statement inside the ring and put himself back in the conversation for gold.

He concluded:

“I know putting Songchainoi away is no easy task. But the moment he slips up, I’m confident that my strikes are fast and explosive enough to make him the first person to get knocked out cold in ONE.

“I’ve already crushed Songchainoi’s dream of a title shot once, and heading into this rematch, I’m just as confident that I’ll double down on my victory. This win means everything to me because it puts me right back on track for a potential rematch for the gold against Nadaka.”
