3 Explosive Reasons To Watch The Inner Circle 27 On August 21

The Inner Circle 27, scheduled for August 21 at Bangkok’s Lumpinee Stadium, will stream exclusively to subscribers at live.onefc.com. The card includes four Muay Thai bouts and one kickboxing match, headlined by a high-stakes atomweight clash between Songchainoi “Mini-Hulk” Kiatsongrit and Banluelok Sitwatcharachai. Both fighters carry strong records and ambitions tied to future title opportunities, ensuring a competitive and high-energy encounter.

Songchainoi enters with a 10-3 promotional record and a recent victory over a Lumpinee champion, while Banluelok has won three straight fights, including a knockout over Rak Erawan. A win for Banluelok could secure a $100,000 main roster contract and a potential rematch against ONE Atomweight Muay Thai World Champion Nadaka. The fight’s stakes and both fighters’ aggressive styles promise a barnburner in the atomweight division.

A bantamweight Muay Thai bout between Yodphupa Petkiatpet and Saw Min Min replaces an injured original matchup. Yodphupa, a Road to ONE: Thailand tournament winner, brings relentless energy, while Saw Min Min’s lethwei background and heavy hands make him a dangerous finisher. Saw Min Min seeks redemption after two consecutive losses, setting up a clash of contrasting styles and high stakes in the mecca of Muay Thai.

Two debutants aim to announce themselves at The Inner Circle 27. Libyan Lamin “Desert Lion” Al Souayah faces Dalian “Deadly” Dawody in a lightweight Muay Thai bout, with Dawody seeking to build on his knockout win over Dante Rodrigues. In the flyweight kickboxing opener, English fighter Ben Longstaff, with a 19-2 record, takes on Kazuteru Yamazaki, a Japanese veteran on a two-fight winning streak. Both newcomers face tough introductions as they vie for recognition on the global stage.
