ONE Championship 161: Petchmorakot Vs Tawanchai Betting Analysis

If you want to get up early on Thursday morning, you will be able to tune into YouTube to catch the ONE Championship 161 event, which has a 6-fight main card. As is generally the case with ONE, we get a variety of different bouts to look forward to. We have MMA, kickboxing, and Muay Thai on this card, with the main event being a Muay Thai title fight. There is an awful lot to get into and break down here, so let’s get started with our ONE Championship Betting predictions for each of the 6 fights on the main card.

Yuya Wakamatsu Vs Shuo Wang

We get the main card started with a Bantamweight bout featuring a pair of fighters coming off a loss. Wakamatsu is sitting at 15-5 overall, with his loss last time out snapping a 5-fight win streak. Wang has a similar record at 15-6 and also had a 5-fight streak ended. Very evenly matched, but I like Wakamatsu for the decision.

Ritu Phogat Vs Tiffany Teo

The ladies are up next for a Strawweight bout that also looks to be rather evenly matched. Phogat comes into this one with a record of 7-2 and is coming off a loss last time out. Teo has won 3 of her last 5 to get to 10-2 overall and is looking to get a new streak started, which I think she will do with the decision win.

Lipeng Zhang V Saygid Izagakhmaev

The final MMA fight of the night is a Welterweight bout between a pair of in-form fighters. Zhang is 33-11-2 overall and is on a run of 6 fights unbeaten (5-0-1). Izagakhmaev is an impressive 20-2 and has won 7 of his last 8 fights. Another very good matchup, but I like Izagakhmaev to get the submission win.

Iraj Azizpour Vs Bruno Chaves

We move on from MMA to kickboxing for the next couple of bouts. Azizpour has had just 2 professional bouts, both with ONE, winning both of those fights comfortably. Chaves has just 1 win in his last 4 fights and looks to be up against it here. I am on Azizpor to come away with the win in this one.

Roman Kryklya Vs Guto Inocente

It’s another kickboxing bout that serves as the penultimate fight of the main card. Kyyklya is very much at the top of his game and comes into this bout on a 9-fight win streak. Inocente has jumped around in different styles and has won each of his last 2 kickboxing matches. I think Kryklya is just too tough, so I have him for the win here.

Petchmorakot Vs Tawanchai

We close the night out with a Muay Thai fight that is for the ONE Lightweight Championship. Petchmorakot comes in as the defending champion and has an unbeaten record in Muay Thai. His lone career loss came in a kickboxing bout. Tawanchai has just 4 fights as a pro, going 3-1 in those matchups. I think we will see the champion retain his belt.

I have read enough, I need to place my bet now. What to do?
