Two bouts were subject to changes for this evening’s ONE Friday Fights 80 event at Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, following Thursday’s official weigh-ins and hydration tests.

Both Kongklai Sor Sommai and David Cooke failed to make the contracted weights for their fights, but will stay on the card after agreeing catchweights with their opponents.

Kongklai Sor Sommai passed hydration but missed weight for his 138lbs catchweight Muay Thai bout against Deniz Demirkapu.

The Turkish “Bad Boy” agreed to a new 142.6lbs catchweight with the Thai, and will take a percentage of Kongklai’s fight purse.

Britain’s Cooke also passed hydration but failed to make the 155lbs limit for his featherweight mixed martial arts bout against Jang Seon Gyu.

South Korea’s Jang accepted a 159.4lbs catchweight, and will also get a percentage of Cooke's purse.

All other athletes on the card passed hydration and made weight, with their bouts unaffected.

Cooke (2-0 professional MMA record) is a stablemate of ONE Championship royalty Jonathan Haggerty and his younger brother Freddie at the Team Underground MMA gym in London.

He debuted in ONE with a first-round knockout of Japan’s Kohei Takegami in May.

Kongklai has fought seven times under the ONE Lumpinee banner, with a record of 3-4, and has been finished in his last three fights.
