3 Explosive Reasons To Watch The Inner Circle 38 On November 13

ONE Championship returns to Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok on Friday, November 13, for The Inner Circle 38, a Muay Thai card streaming live and exclusively for members at live.onefc.com during Asia primetime. The event features five bouts, including two quarterfinals of the 2026-2027 ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World Grand Prix. The main attraction is a long-awaited matchup between two Muay Thai legends, Rodtang "The Iron Man" Jitmuangnon and Nong-O Hama, both chasing a semifinal spot in the Grand Prix.

The Grand Prix quarterfinals headline the card, with Rodtang facing Nong-O in a rematch delayed since November 2024 due to weight and health issues. Rodtang, ranked #2, seeks a statement win after his first stoppage loss in ONE, while Nong-O, ranked #3, aims to defeat the sport’s most popular star. The winner advances toward the semifinals, with both fighters having suffered recent setbacks before bouncing back.

The second quarterfinal pits #4-ranked Shimon Yoshinari against #5-ranked Ramadan Ondash, two rising stars in the division. Shimon, 27-1 and unbeaten in ONE, holds a US$100,000 contract after five promotional wins, including a recent knockout in Japan. Ondash, 20, has earned his contract with four impressive wins, including victories over Suriyanlek Por Yenying and Johan Ghazali at flyweight.

Beyond the Grand Prix bouts, the card offers opportunities for fighters to secure US$100,000 contracts and global roster spots. Thai veteran PTT Apichart Farm and Moroccan Hamza Rachid face off in bantamweight Muay Thai, while Adam Benwarwar and Lenny Blasi compete in another bantamweight match. Atomweight Banluelok Sitwatcharachai, riding a three-fight winning streak, opens the night against Mya Lone Chaw.
