ONE Championship’s The Inner Circle 28 takes place this Friday, August 28, at Bangkok’s Lumpinee Stadium, streaming live in Asia primetime exclusively for members at live.onefc.com. The card includes four Muay Thai bouts and one kickboxing match, headlined by bantamweight Muay Thai fighters Worapon Lukjaoporongtom and Lenny Blasi. Both athletes bring contrasting resumes, with Worapon on a three-fight winning streak and Blasi responding to an early promotional loss with three wins in his last four outings. The bout is expected to clarify their standing in a highly competitive weight class.
The flyweight Muay Thai division features a high-stakes clash between Isannuea Sor Sasiwat and Ubaid “Bad” Hussain, both vying for a US$100,000 main roster contract. Isannuea has won all his promotional fights by knockout, including recent finishes over Sanit Aekmuangnon and Khunpon Aekmuangnon. Hussain, undefeated at 16-0, most recently stopped Sanpet Sor Salacheep in one round at ONE Friday Fights 160. The matchup pits two knockout artists against each other with significant incentives.
The co-main event pairs veterans Rambong Sor Therapat and Chartpayak Saksatoon, both with extensive fight records and experience in ONE. Rambong holds an 84-18-2 career record with 11-4 in ONE, while Chartpayak boasts a 71-18 slate and a 10-2 promotional run. Both fighters have histories of delivering three-round wars and early finishes, adding unpredictability to their matchup. Their experience and skill levels suggest a closely contested bout.
The flyweight portion of the card concludes with Basta Abdelmouneme making his promotional debut against Fakhriddin Khasanov. Abdelmouneme, 26, seeks to prove himself in his first appearance under the ONE Championship banner, while Khasanov, 25, aims to secure his first win in the promotion after two consecutive losses. Both fighters bring technical skill and determination, raising expectations for an entertaining and competitive bout.
