Obviously this week is nowhere near as big as last week but there are still some quality match-ups to go around.

Monday's event is a Onesongchai show and features some important fighters in the lighter divisions. At 103 lbs, #4 Lumpini ranked mini flyweight Saksit Srithivet fights Raktemroi Visootjaroenyont. #7 Lumpini ranked light flyweight Pitchichai Or. Bor. Tor. Khampi comes off a stoppage win and fights Phetlamsin Kiatphontip.

The fight between Lookman and Rungphet on Tuesday has the potential to be a great one. Lookman was in the Channel 7 Fight of the Year last year, with Seeoui.

Friday's show is probably the "big" one of the week, with Mondam and Superlek in the main event. These two are some of the most dynamic young fighters on the scene right now. They fought back in November, with Superlek winning a decision. Yuthachai is also back after a war with Yodtuantong last month and fights Dejnarong, who just made his return not too long ago. Yodmanoot vs. Peteng is an important fight as well. Peteng is one of the hottest up and comers on the scene. With Satarnmuanglek having just won the Thailand title at 105lbs and Peteng having beaten him before that, this could set up a rematch and a chance for Peteng to fight for that title.
