ONE Championship has unveiled four thrilling MMA and submission grappling contests for ONE Fight Night 47 on Prime Video, adding another layer of excitement to what promises to be a spectacular night of martial arts action.
The event takes place on Friday, September 4, live in U.S. primetime from the iconic Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.
Gilbert Nakatani faces Nazareth "The Northstar" Lalthazuala in strawweight MMA, Gabriela "Gabi" Fujimoto takes on Macarena Aragon in women's atomweight MMA, Hector "La Arana" Almonacid meets Pedro "Guerreiro" Dantas in featherweight MMA, and Rafael Lovato Jr. locks horns with Pawel Jaworski in a middleweight submission grappling matchup.
The strawweight MMA fight between Nakatani and Lalthazuala is a classic clash of experience against explosive momentum.
Nakatani is a 32-year-old California native from Aragon Training Academy with nine career MMA victories, seven coming via finish, who has spent his ONE Championship tenure testing himself against tough opposition.

Former three-division Lumpinee Stadium Muay Thai World Champion Suakim Pongsuphan PK has seen everything the sport can throw at a man across his remarkable 216-fight career, but nothing quite like what awaits him at The Inner Circle 25.
On Friday, August 7, the resurgent Thai veteran looks to extend his inspiring career rebirth against former ONE Bantamweight Muay Thai World Champion Nabil Anane. This high-stakes main event World ***** le eliminator goes down live in Asia primetime from Lumpinee Stadium, exclusively for subscribers at live.onefc.com.
Having not tasted defeat since April 2024, Suakim boasts a seven-bout winning streak that stands as the longest active run in the division, with four of those victories coming by spectacular stoppage.
That stunning resurgence includes impressive finishes over Deniz "Bad Boy" Demirkapu and Panrit Lukjaomaesaiwaree, a life-changing six-figure contract-winning TKO of Komawut FA Group, and a US$50,000 performance bonus-earning finish of Jake "The One" Peacock.
Now operating at the absolute peak of his powers, the 30-year-old veteran could not hide his astonishment at the sheer magnitude of his next ***** ignment.

The Inner Circle 25 arrives on Friday, August 7, featuring a stacked card that guarantees high-stakes martial arts action from top to bottom. Broadcasting live in Asia primetime from Bangkok's historic Lumpinee Stadium, the blockbuster event streams exclusively for subscribers at live.onefc.com.
A bantamweight Muay Thai World ******* le eliminator will determine who faces the divisional king next, the highly anticipated ONE SAMURAI Featherweight Kickboxing Tournament roars to life with a clash between two elite strikers, and one of the most debated results of the year gets its definitive answer in a monumental rematch.
Here are three compelling reasons The Inner Circle 25 is absolutely unmissable this Friday.
Former ONE Bantamweight Muay Thai World Champion Nabil Anane and three-division Lumpinee Stadium Muay Thai World Champion Suakim PongSuphan PK will clash in a massive World ******* le eliminator. The victor earns the coveted right to challenge reigning divisional king Rambolek Chor Ajalaboon.
Anane's remarkable journey through ONE Championship has been nothing short of extraordinary. The towering 6-foot-4 Algerian-Thai striker arrived as the youngest-ever WBC Muay Thai World Champion. After an initial setback against "The Kicking Machine" Superlek in his debut, he returned with unmatched focus, systematically clearing out top contenders before defeating Nico "King of the North" Carrillo to claim interim gold in 2025.

For three-time Glory Kickboxing World Champion Marat Grigorian, an illustrious martial arts career has unlocked doors he never could have imagined while growing up.
That incredible journey continues next week as the 35-year-old superstar returns to action against Russian standout Mamuka Usubyan. The two will meet in a highly anticipated first round of the eight-man ONE SAMURAI Featherweight Kickboxing Tournament at The Inner Circle 25.
The star-studded card broadcasts live in Asia primetime from Bangkok's legendary Lumpinee Stadium on Friday, August 7, exclusively available to subscribers at live.onefc.com.
Intense training camps and the heavy demands of competing on the global stage may dominate his calendar, but the Armenian athlete has found a way to carve out something just as meaningful in the ****** es between them: a genuine, deep-rooted passion for exploring the world.
Grigorian's decorated kickboxing career has taken him across the globe, and it is a distinct privilege he certainly does not take for granted.

The Inner Circle 24 ignited Bangkok's iconic Lumpinee Stadium with another heart-racing Asia primetime event packed with explosive finishes and unforgettable performances this past Friday, July 31.
This members-only card featured four high-octane Muay Thai and MMA bouts, which streamed exclusively on live.onefc.com from "The Madison Square Garden of the East." With three of the four bouts ending in highlight-reel fashion, the show delivered non-stop thrills from beginning to end.
A new bantamweight MMA king was crowned in the main event, as Azerbaijani-Russian destroyer Elbek Alyshov turned off Enkh-Orgil Baatarkhuu's lights in the second round.
Alyshov dropped the Mongolian ******* leholder with a thunderous uppercut in the clinch, and then he followed up with relentless ground-and-pound to force the referee to wave off the contest. That spectacular performance earned him the ONE Bantamweight MMA World ******* le, as well as a US$50,000 performance bonus.
The co-main event featured another impressive display, as 19-year-old Lebanese sensation Ramadan "The Scorpion" Ondash continued his meteoric rise. Ondash edged out fellow teen star Johan "Jojo" Ghazali in a razor-close flyweight Muay Thai battle to claim a hard-fought split-decision victory.

Arsoonnoi Sitjasing delivered a composed and punishing performance against fellow Thai firecracker Nongkhailek Dr.Knotmuaythai in the flyweight Muay Thai co-main event of ONE Friday Fights 164 inside Bangkok's legendary Lumpinee Stadium on July 31.
Both men went to work right off the bat, testing each other's defense with a variety of strikes from the outside and the inside. Arsoonnoi hammered away with punches in bunches, while his Petchingchai foe responded with similar firepower.
The intensity rose dramatically in the second frame. After touching gloves, Nongkhailek caught a kick and attempted to respond with a punch, but the exchange left his chin exposed. Arsoonnoi immediately capitalized with a massive overhand right that dropped his opponent for an eight-count.
When the action resumed, Arsoonnoi attacked the body with repeated kicks and continued dictating the pace behind his punches. The Sitjasing and ARMY 3 representative stayed firmly in control as the round came to an end.
Nongkhailek, however, refused to wilt, increasing his pressure in the third stanza. Just as he appeared to find his rhythm, the 27-year-old promotional newcomer absorbed another sharp counter right hand from Arsoonnoi that sent him crashing to the canvas once more.

ONE Championship is capping off a spectacular month with a pair of high-octane events at "The Madison Square Garden of the East."
The world's largest martial arts organization will broadcast The Inner Circle 24 and ONE Friday Fights 164 live in Asia primetime from the iconic Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, this Friday, July 31.
In the headline attraction of The Inner Circle 24, which streams exclusively on live.onefc.com, Netflix's Physical: Asia star Enkh-Orgil Baatarkhuu will make his first ONE Bantamweight MMA World ****** le defense against undefeated challenger Elbek Alyshov.
Plus, 19-year-old sensations Johan "Jojo" Ghazali and Ramadan "The Scorpion" Ondash will put their friendship aside and throw down in a flyweight Muay Thai co-main event showdown.
Then, get ready for ONE Friday Fights 164. In the main event, surging Thai veteran Watcharaphon Laochokcharoen will go head-to-head with three-time ISKA Kickboxing World Champion Akram "La Pépite" Hamidi.

For 21 grueling years, Azerbaijani-Russian sensation Elbek Alyshov has poured his heart and soul into martial arts.
However, the true motivation pushing him through the daily grind isn't the intoxicating allure of fame, legacy, or even the glimmer of 26 pounds of ONE Championship gold. It is a profoundly simple vision: putting a permanent roof over his family's head.
That quiet but incredibly powerful purpose will be front and center when the undefeated challenger faces reigning ONE Bantamweight MMA World Champion "The Tormentor" Enkh-Orgil Baatarkhuu at The Inner Circle 24.
The massive World ******* le showdown broadcasts live in Asia primetime on Friday, July 31, from Bangkok's historic Lumpinee Stadium, exclusively for subscribers at live.onefc.com.
Ahead of the defining moment of his career, Alyshov spoke with genuine honesty about the life-changing dream that could permanently transform the trajectory of his loved ones' lives.

#World #live #russian #bantamweight

Ramadan "The Scorpion" Ondash and Abdallah Ondash are brothers, close friends, and ruthless training partners who have spent much of their lives pushing each other toward the highest levels of Muay Thai.
The 19-year-old Ramadan will face former friend Johan "Jojo" Ghazali in a flyweight Muay Thai co-main event of The Inner Circle 24 on Friday, July 31.
Six years his senior, Abdallah will compete earlier that evening when he seeks revenge against Chokpreecha PK TomTKalaiyont in a strawweight rematch. The event streams live in Asia primetime from Bangkok's iconic Lumpinee Stadium exclusively for members at live.onefc.com.
The Lebanese siblings have already competed on the same ONE Championship card four times, winning every bout between them. Remarkably, each brother has suffered only one promotional setback, and both defeats came when the other was not competing alongside him.
Martial arts has always occupied an important place in the Ondash family. Their father was a wrestler, while their brother Ahmad became the first family member to seriously pursue Muay Thai and later opened a gym in Lebanon.

Undefeated and uncompromising, Elbek Alyshov steps into the brightest spotlight of his career at The Inner Circle 24 with absolutely no intention of leaving without the coveted 26 pounds of gold.
The surging 27-year-old Azerbaijani-Russian challenges ONE Bantamweight MMA World Champion "The Tormentor" Enkh-Orgil Baatarkhuu in the blockbuster main event on Friday, July 31, with the division's most coveted prize hanging in the balance.
The highly anticipated World ****** le showdown streams exclusively for members at live.onefc.com from Bangkok's historic Lumpinee Stadium.
To Alyshov, Baatarkhuu is the ultimate blueprint of what relentless ambition and an unbreakable will can build on the world's largest martial arts stage.
The Mongolian ****** leholder's ascent has been nothing short of legendary. A Road to ONE: Mongolia winner and a breakout sensation on Netflix's hit series Physical: Asia, Baatarkhuu permanently sealed his place in history by submitting former divisional king Fabricio "Wonder Boy" Andrade to become his country's historic second ONE World Champion.

ONE Championship has finalized the ONE Fight Night 46 on Prime Video lineup with the addition of a highly anticipated flyweight MMA contest between New Zealand-Vietnamese finisher Viet Anh Do and Brazilian promotional newcomer Davi "Ajuricaba" Brandao.
The bout goes down on Friday, August 14, inside Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, on a blockbuster card headlined by a ONE Women's Strawweight Muay Thai World Championship clash between reigning two-sport queen Stella "Always Hungry" Hemetsberger and dangerous Russian challenger Natalia "Karelian Lynx" Diachkova.
The 29-year-old Auckland MMA and Oliver MMA South Auckland product carries a perfect 6-0 career MMA record into this contest, all six victories coming via finish, and a 5-0 promotional ledger built on a series of increasingly emphatic performances that have made him one of the most talked-about stars in the flyweight MMA division.
After competing at ONE Warrior Series twice in 2019, Do returned to the ONE Friday Fights event series in 2025 with a TKO victory in less than three minutes, then followed it up nearly two months later by flatlining Jean Claude Saclag in under a minute.
The performance that defined his rise came in May this year, when he demolished South Korea's "Money" Kyungjung Kim via TKO to claim not only the win and a performance bonus but the coveted US$100,000 main roster contract that brings him to August 14.

“The Angel Warrior” Panpayak Jitmuangnon has yet to taste defeat under kickboxing rules in ONE Championship, and he has every intention of keeping that pristine record intact at The Inner Circle 23 on Friday, July 24.
The seven-time Muay Thai World Champion locks horns against Anuar “Bad Boy” Cisneros in a co-main event bantamweight kickboxing clash, just before Sam-A Gaiyanghadao and Aliff Sor Dechapan collide for the ONE Interim Strawweight Muay Thai World ****** le in Bangkok’s decorated Lumpinee Stadium.
Fight fans can gain exclusive access to the complete Asia primetime card with a subscription at live.onefc.com.
Across a storied career, the Jitmuangnon Gym and ****** et Fight Club representative has already established himself among Muay Thai’s best. He carried that form onto the global stage, even winning the 2022 Knockout of the Year courtesy of a head-kick finish.
His move into kickboxing, however, has provided him with something entirely different: a clean slate and three straight victories, the most recent of which came against Othman “The Ironside” Rhouni at ONE Friday Fights 155 this past May.

Absolute fireworks are guaranteed when Thai dynamo Pompet PongSuphan PK and debuting Myanmarese warrior Nat Khat Min collide in the blockbuster main event of ONE Friday Fights 163.
The pair meet in a highly anticipated flyweight Muay Thai showdown, broadcasting live in Asia primetime from inside Bangkok's legendary Lumpinee Stadium on Friday, July 24, shortly after The Inner Circle 23.
A dominant, highlight-reel showing from either elite striker could instantly propel them toward a coveted, life-changing US$100,000 main-roster contract, adding massive weight to what is already shaping up to be a can't-miss collision.
With absolutely everything on the line, both men have made their destructive intentions for fight night abundantly clear.
Pompet PongSuphan PK walks into this high-stakes clash well aware of exactly what another statement victory could do for his career.

Just a week after its high-octane tripleheader, ONE Championship returns with two explosive spectacles at "The Madison Square Garden of the East."
The world's largest martial arts organization will broadcast The Inner Circle 23 and ONE Friday Fights 163 live in Asia primetime from the historic Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, on Friday, July 24.
In the headline attraction of The Inner Circle 23, the legendary Sam-A Gaiyanghadao will take on 22-year-old Thai-Malaysian phenom Aliff Sor Dechapan for the ONE Interim Strawweight Muay Thai World Championship.
In the main event of ONE Friday Fights 163, Pompet Pongsuphan PK will look to author his second straight knockout performance. But Lethwei star Nat Khat Min will attempt to shut him down in this flyweight Muay Thai thriller and make this a promotional debut to remember.
Plus, 16 other rising stars will try to leave Lumpinee Stadium with a victory, a life-changing US$100,000 contract, and coveted spot on ONE Championship's global roster.

ONE Championship has completed the bracket for its blockbuster eight-man ONE SAMURAI Featherweight Kickboxing Tournament, revealing the final two matchups that will determine who earns a shot at gold.
Three-time Glory Kickboxing World Champion Marat Grigorian will square off against Russian standout Mamuka Usubyan at The Inner Circle 25 on Friday, August 7. The bout streams live in Asia primetime via live.onefc.com from Bangkok's iconic Lumpinee Stadium.
The very next night, ****** an's Kosuke "Unstoppable Phoenix" Takagi collides with China's Luo Chao at ONE SAMURAI 2 on Saturday, August 8, live from the iconic EBARA WAVE Arena Ota. The winner of the tournament will earn a guaranteed shot at reigning ONE Featherweight Kickboxing World Champion Superbon.
In two previously announced bouts, former ONE Interim Featherweight Kickboxing World Champion Masaaki Noiri will seek revenge against "Spirit Dragon" Liu Mengyang, while ****** anese star Kaito Ono runs it back with Iranian powerhouse Mohammad Siasarani.
Marat Grigorian appeared to place himself at the front of the featherweight kickboxing queue with his most recent performance. The Armenian icon needed less than two minutes to knock out Kaito at ONE SAMURAI 1 on April 29, ending their heated rivalry with a decisive statement inside Tokyo's Ariake Arena.

ONE Fight Night 45: Lessei vs. Rabah on Prime Video will deliver an unforgettable night of martial arts inside the iconic Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.
Topping the organization’s latest American primetime spectacle this Friday, July 17, is a high-stakes featherweight Muay Thai showdown between Luke “The Chef” Lessei and “The Eagle” Mohamed Younes Rabah.
The card is loaded with eight additional fights across MMA and Muay Thai, too, giving fans a night filled with high-stakes battles, intriguing stylistic clashes, and plenty of stars looking to make a statement on the global stage.
Among that stacked lineup, three bouts in particular stand out as genuine show-stealers. Here they are.
Thailand’s Suablack Tor Pran49 and Scotsman Stephen “El Matador” Irvine collide in a flyweight Muay Thai battle that will deliver fireworks from the very first exchange.

Submission grappling’s pound-for-pound queen Helena Crevar dazzled the world in her global stage debut, and she is already plotting an even more commanding encore.
The 19-year-old phenom squares off against American debutant Paige Ivette Clymer in a 10-minute openweight submission grappling contest at The Inner Circle 22, streaming exclusively for members on live.onefc.com from Bangkok’s historic Lumpinee Stadium on Friday, July 17.
Crevar’s inaugural ONE appearance left absolutely no room for debate. The Las Vegas native needed just 100 seconds to dismantle Teshya Noelani Alo with a slick Estima lock at ONE Fight Night 39 last January, setting an impossibly high bar for her sophomore outing.
However, her upcoming adversary brings serious credentials and an imposing physical presence. A 2026 ADCC West Coast Trials winner and black belt under Keenan Cornelius at Legion American Jiu-Jitsu, Clymer is an all-action force with a game built specifically to break people.
Crevar has never shied away from a physical challenge, and Clymer’s stature adds an entirely new dimension to what is already a fascinating stylistic matchup.

Jonathan Di Bella knows “Fighting Rooster” Zhang Peimian is not the same striker he defeated nearly four years ago.
The reigning ONE Strawweight Kickboxing World Champion expects the Chinese challenger to be sharper and fueled by revenge when they run back their unforgettable five-round battle in the main event of The Inner Circle 22.
But Di Bella believes the same thing will apply to him when he steps into the ring for the blockbuster rematch, which streams live from Bangkok’s iconic Lumpinee Stadium via live.onefc.com on Friday, July 17.
The 29-year-old kingpin said:
“It’s an exciting fight. Zhang is an exciting fighter, and it’s an exciting fight for the fans. The first one was fire, and this one will be fire as well.”

ONE Championship newcomer Paige Ivette Clymer’s signature cowgirl hat is certainly not just a promotional accessory.
The 33-year-old American wears it proudly because it reflects a core part of her identity that has grown far beyond a simple sense of style. Away from the daily grind of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, the grueling competition circuits, and the suffocating intensity of elite submission grappling, the Legion American Jiu Jitsu Academy black belt has developed a profound love for horseback riding.
Clymer is set to make her highly anticipated ONE debut against teenage phenom Helena Crevar in a 10-minute openweight submission grappling contest at The Inner Circle 22 on Friday, July 17. The blockbuster event streams live from Bangkok’s iconic Lumpinee Stadium exclusively for members at live.onefc.com.
The 2025 ADCC West Coast Trials winner brings a remarkable 118-7 grappling record into her promotional debut. But before she tests her world-class skills on the global stage, Clymer is happy to showcase a much different side of herself: the San Diego native who feels absolutely most at home in the saddle.
Clymer’s deep relationship with horses began long before she ever tied a black belt around her waist or built her fearsome reputation on the mats.

ONE Championship returns to Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, on Friday, July 17, with another exclusive card for members of The Inner Circle, streaming live at live.onefc.com.
A ONE Strawweight Kickboxing World ****** le rematch four years in the making tops a card that also features the world's top-ranked women's no-gi grappler and one of ****** an's most dangerous kickboxers hunting a path back to another shot at gold.
In the main event, Jonathan Di Bella makes the first defense of his ONE Strawweight Kickboxing World ****** le against Zhang Peimian in a rematch of the fight that started it all.
Di Bella, the son of Kickboxing Champion Angelo Di Bella, grew up on the mats of his family's Montreal gym, and turned pro at 20 after going 20-0 as a junior and amateur. He has since become a four-time World Champion with one of the highest significant strike outputs in ONE kickboxing history, setting records for the most strikes landed in a single fight during his unification win over Prajanchai PongSuphan PK last October — a performance that left no doubt about who the best strawweight in the world is.
Zhang was 60 seconds away from derailing all of that at ONE 162 in 2022. The young Chinese fighter from rural Guangxi — who grew up chopping sugar cane and cutting rice on his family farm before his headteacher introduced him to martial arts — had led on all three scorecards heading into the final minute of the final round, only for Di Bella to produce a clutch head kick knockdown that ****** ed the ****** le.

The last time "Fighting Rooster" Zhang Peimian faced Jonathan Di Bella, he was 19 years old, fighting for a World ******* le, and not yet ready for everything that came with it.
Nearly four years later, that version of him no longer exists.
On Friday, July 17, Zhang will challenge the reigning ONE Strawweight Kickboxing World Champion for the gold in the main event of The Inner Circle 22, which goes down live at the iconic Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand. It will stream exclusively for members via live.onefc.com.
The rematch is more than three and a half years in the making, and the Chinese fighter stepping into the ring this time is a fundamentally different competitor from the teenager who walked into the vacant ONE Strawweight Kickboxing World ******* le clash at ONE 162 in October 2022.
The first encounter was a genuine five-round war. Zhang, who was already considered one of the most gifted young strikers in the organization, went toe-to-toe with the Italian-Canadian southpaw and made him work for every inch. His trademark left hook and low kicks found a home on Di Bella throughout the contest.

Two-division Rajadamnern Stadium World Champion Petsiam T2A Waterubon continued his rise with an emphatic victory over promotional newcomer Nihad "Shiekh" Taghizade in the co-main event of ONE Friday Fights 161.
Their strawweight kickboxing battle aired live in Asia primetime from Bangkok's iconic Lumpinee Stadium on Friday, July 10, and the action delivered fireworks for as long as it lasted.
After a frantic opening exchange where both men traded heavy leather, Petsiam quickly took control.
The 20-year-old Thai dropped Taghizade with a left middle kick for the first knockdown of the contest. The Azerbaijani striker beat the count and returned to his feet, but he was sent back to the canvas almost immediately, this time from another punishing body kick.
Taghizade once again regained his footing, but Petsiam did not give him any room to recover.

The ONE Strawweight MMA World ***** le is officially back on the line on Friday, July 10, when seven-time ***** leholder Joshua “The Passion” Pacio defends his undisputed crown against Mansur Malachiev in one of the most highly anticipated rematches in ONE Championship history.
Their monumental clash for gold headlines The Inner Circle 21 inside Bangkok’s iconic Lumpinee Stadium, broadcasting exclusively in Asia primetime for subscribers at live.onefc.com.
Three rounds of relentless back-and-forth action at ONE Fight Night 15 in October 2023 ended with “The Passion” claiming a hard-fought unanimous decision. The high-stakes sequel carries everything the first fight had, and considerably more on top.
Two elite mixed martial artists. One World ***** le. Here are four crucial keys to victory in this guaranteed barnburner.
Pacio does not attack like most strawweight fighters, and that elite unpredictability has been one of the defining features of his historic World ***** le reigns. His striking game operates entirely outside conventional patterns, beautifully mixing feints, unique angles, and explosive combinations.

ONE Fight Night 46 on Prime Video just received a double dose of MMA intrigue.
Two compelling mixed martial arts contests have been added to the August 14 card. Jhanlo Mark "The Machine" Sangiao meets Marcos Aurelio in a bantamweight showdown, while Natalie Salcedo welcomes undefeated Polish newcomer Magdalena Czaban in an atomweight clash.
The event broadcasts live in U.S. primetime from Bangkok's historic Lumpinee Stadium and is headlined by Stella "Always Hungry" Hemetsberger's ONE Women's Strawweight Muay Thai World **** le defense against Natalia "Karelian Lynx" Diachkova.
For Sangiao, the matchup represents a chance to build serious momentum in one of ONE Championship's most stacked MMA divisions.
The Team Lakay prince returned to action in style last year, submitting hard-charging Mongolian Shinechagtga Zoltsetseg with just 18 seconds remaining in their dramatic three-round battle. That victory erased the sting of his first professional defeat and reminded fans why the 24-year-old Filipino remains one of the most exciting talents in the bantamweight MMA ranks.

Othman "The Ironside" Rhouni arrived in ONE Championship under difficult circumstances, learned hard lessons, and came back a different fighter. On Friday, July 10, he gets the chance to show exactly how much has changed.
The Moroccan striker faces Thai phenom Jaradchai Maxjandee in a flyweight Muay Thai main event at ONE Friday Fights 161 live in Asia primetime from the iconic Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.
Rhouni's first appearance on the ONE Friday Fights stage came against "The Angel Warrior" Panpayak Jitmuangnon, a seven-time Muay Thai World Champion, who carries one of the most feared names in the division.
Stepping in on 10 days' notice against that level of opposition would have been a daunting proposition for any fighter. For Rhouni, it came with an additional layer of difficulty that made the performance even more understandable in hindsight.
The razor-close split-decision loss stung, but the context behind it tells a story that the result alone cannot.

Shozo "Great Teacher" Isojima does not simply want to beat Eduard "Landslide" Folayang. After two frustrating setbacks in the world's largest martial arts organization, the **** anese judoka firmly believes he needs to produce the kind of dominant performance that proves he still belongs among ONE Championship's elite.
The 28-year-old has dedicated himself more fully to martial arts, but this story is not merely about what he changed outside the ring. It is about exactly what he intends to showcase inside it.
On Friday, July 10, Isojima will face the Filipino icon in a high-stakes lightweight MMA co-main event at The Inner Circle 21. The blockbuster card streams live in Asia primetime from Bangkok's iconic Lumpinee Stadium, exclusively for members at live.onefc.com.
The matchup gives Isojima a golden chance to rebound against a former three-time ONE Lightweight MMA World Champion, an Asian MMA pioneer, and a seasoned veteran boasting 23 career victories. But the 28-year-old also intrinsically knows this massive opportunity arrives at a critical juncture in his career.
The **** anese fighter said:

Reigning ONE Interim Featherweight Muay Thai World Champion Nico “King of the North” Carrillo is ready to conquer a second striking discipline, and he is wasting no time getting started.
The Scottish knockout artist makes his promotional kickboxing debut against Chinese newcomer Zhou Jiaqiang in a featherweight kickboxing bout at ONE Fight Night 46 on Prime Video on Friday, August 14, from the prestigious Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, live in U.S. primetime.
Carrillo’s rise through ONE Championship has been built entirely on destruction. The 27-year-old Deachkalek Muay Thai Academy product carries a 30-4 career record with 16 finishes and a 7-1 promotional slate into this contest.
“King of the North” made his ONE debut by securing two epic knockouts over Furkan Karabag and Muangthai PK Saenchai that earned him the coveted US$100,000 main roster contract.
Then he continued his rampage with devastating stoppages of former longtime ONE Bantamweight Muay Thai World Champion Nong-O Hama and Saemapetch Fairtex, performances that announced him as a genuine force at the striking art’s highest level.

Jaradchai Maxjandee walks into ONE Friday Fights 161 with a perfect three wins, just as many bonuses, and the motivation needed to inch closer to a life-changing US$100,000 contract and spot on ONE Championship’s main roster.
The 18-year-old Thai headlines the Asia primetime card in a flyweight Muay Thai matchup against Moroccan striker Othman “The Ironside” Rhouni on Friday, July 10, inside Bangkok’s iconic Lumpinee Stadium. The spectacle follows The Inner Circle 21, which streams exclusively for subscribers at live.onefc.com.
Jaradchai delivered a body kick finish of Petwanghin Lookpayakraipakdee in his promotional bow. In his sophomore outing, a flying knee put Sanpet Sor Salacheep to sleep at the 43-second mark of round two.
Then came the sharpest display of all – a right head kick that flattened Myanmar’s Thant Zin at the 1:38 mark of round one at The Inner Circle 9, his quickest finish yet. The latest of the lot carried a significance that went beyond the result itself.
He said:

Long before he steps into the ring against an absolute icon of the sport, Shozo “Great Teacher” Isojima learned his most crucial life lessons at home — from a woman who never once put on a pair of four-ounce gloves.
The 28-year-old ***** anese standout returns to action in a high-stakes lightweight MMA contest against Filipino martial arts pioneer and former three-time ONE Lightweight MMA World Champion Eduard “Landslide” Folayang.
The co-main event blockbuster takes center stage at The Inner Circle 21 on Friday, July 10, streaming live in Asia primetime from Bangkok’s legendary Lumpinee Stadium via live.onefc.com.
It represents the absolute biggest test of Isojima’s professional career — a golden opportunity to pit his impressive 6-2 record against a marquee name that helped define a generation of Asian mixed martial arts.
But ahead of the most significant battle of his life, the N-Trust representative chose to reflect deeply on the single person who has been in his corner since before he could even remember: his beloved grandmother.

ISKA Muay Thai World Champion Charlie Guest just announced himself to the world on the global stage of ONE Championship. At the FIFA World Cup 2026, he believes England are ready to write their own chapter.
The 30-year-old opened his promotional account in style at ONE Fight Night 44: Jarvis vs. Rungrawee II on Prime Video on Friday, June 26, stopping Sam Fitzgerald via second-round TKO in Bangkok's iconic Lumpinee Stadium.
For a proud Englishman with football in his blood, the debut was only one of two major storylines dominating his summer.
England have not lifted the FIFA World Cup since 1966, when Alf Ramsey's side beat West Germany 4-2 in Wembley. Six decades on, Thomas Tuchel's "Three Lions" are alive and kicking at the 2026 edition. Guest has been following every step of it from afar, and liking what he sees.
He shared:
