Under card bouts feature up and coming fighters who are building their reputations and, hopefully a winning record so they can eventually become top rated challengers and contenders for the title belt.
Under card fighters do not have the skills that fighters in the feature and main events do. Under card bouts contain a lesser number of rounds than feature and main event bouts and those rounds are often shorter.
Under cards do not include title bouts. Feature and main event bouts both include title bouts.
The term "under card" has the same meaning in Thai Boxing as in any other form of fighting.

The undercard or preliminary matches refers to any bouts that occur before the headline or 'Main Event' of a particular boxing, wrestling, or other bout-style sporting match. Typically the undercard is intended to provide fans with an opportunity to see up-and-coming fighters or fighters who are lesser known and less popular than their counterparts in the main event. The undercard also ensures that if the main event ends quickly fans will still feel that they received sufficient value for the price of their admission.

Fights that will take place at the exhibition, that are not the main event.
