ONE Championship has postponed its Friday event in Bangkok, Thailand, following a significant 7.7 magnitude earthquake in neighboring Myanmar. The announcement was made by the promotion on Friday.
This earthquake was the strongest to affect the region since 1991. Reports indicate that tragically, at least three individuals have died, and 81 others are trapped after a building under construction collapsed in Bangkok. This information comes from Reuters.
ONE Friday Fights 102 was scheduled to take place at Lumpinee Boxing Stadium and feature twelve matches. The main event was set to be a Muay Thai bout between Rambong Sor Terapat and Pompetch. Additionally, two MMA fights were planned: Jean Claude Saclag versus Shazada Ataev, and Marwin Quirante versus Torepchi Dongak. ONE Championship has not yet announced if these fights will be rescheduled for future events.
ONE Championship has another event planned for the following Friday in Bangkok. This upcoming event is supposed to include two Muay Thai title fights. It is currently uncertain whether this event will proceed as originally planned.
