Rajadamnern Stadium opens the week with a seven-fight edition of Rajadamnern Knockout on Monday 24 August, first bell at 7:10 PM. The historic Bangkok venue has again weighted the card towards its foreign contingent, with fighters from the United Kingdom, Iran, the United States, Morocco, Spain, and China filling most of the slots, and Thai representation confined to the lower half of the running order. It is the pattern Rajadamnern has settled into across August: domestic fighters used as the measuring stick early, international matchups carrying the headline slots.
The main event is the heaviest bout of the night at 152 pounds, pairing England’s Liam Griffin with China’s Huang Yujie. Two very different traditions meet here — the British fighter’s kickboxing-bred structure against a Chinese opponent whose sanda background tends to show up in throws and counters — and Rajadamnern has given it the closing slot accordingly.
The co-main event drops to 144 pounds, where Britain’s Nathan Powell faces Iran’s Abolfazl. Powell fights aggressively enough to suit a promotion built on finishes, and the Iranian brings the size and forward pressure that has made his countrymen regular fixtures at the stadium this month.
