3 Must-See Reasons to Watch The Inner Circle 20 on June 26

Five world-class bouts featuring some of the finest strikers on the planet will unfold on Friday, June 26, live from the iconic Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand. The show will stream exclusively on live.onefc.com.

The card delivers across every dimension a Muay Thai fan could ask for.

A vacant World Title fight between two undefeated phenoms, a trilogy rubber match between two of Thailand's most celebrated veterans, and the long-awaited Muay Thai comeback of a three-sport ONE World Champion combine to make June 26 one of the most stacked The Inner Circle events of the year.

Whether you are a lifelong Muay Thai devotee or a casual fan looking for a reason to tune in, The Inner Circle 20 has something for every enthusiast. That said, here are the three biggest reasons you cannot afford to miss it.

#1 The Flyweight Muay Thai Division Finally Gets a New King

Two fighters who have never lost a professional fight meet for the vacant ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World Championship.

Russian knockout machine Asadula Imangazaliev and Uzbek destroyer Aslamjon Ortikov carry a combined 36-0 record and 22 finishes into the most consequential flyweight Muay Thai title fight in recent memory.

Imangazaliev's path here is remarkable. He has gone 8-0 in ONE almost entirely via knockout, earned global recognition from MMA commentator Joe Rogan, and knocked out Nong-O Hama in his last fight – only to be denied the title after missing weight. June 26 is his chance to finally claim what he came for.

Ortikov's story carries equal weight. He carries a 24-0 professional slate and 10-0 ONE record built on 13 career finishes. A victory would make him Uzbekistan's first-ever ONE Muay Thai World Champion, and the country’s second athlete to win ONE World Title gold this year.

#2 One of Muay Thai's Greatest Modern Feuds Gets Settled

Thailand's most heated recent flyweight rivalry reaches its rubber match at Lumpinee Stadium. The series stands deadlocked at one apiece, and the two fighters could not be more evenly matched heading into the decisive third bout.

Kongthoranee Sor Sommai outworked Nong-O Hama in their February 2025 meeting, claiming a split decision after three grinding rounds. Nong-O responded three months later with a dominant unanimous decision, overwhelming his younger rival with relentless pressure across all three frames to level the score.

Now, the 39-year-old legend with a 267-59 career record faces the 29-year-old three-time Rajadamnern Stadium Champion in the fight that ends the argument once and for all. The generational contrast and the fabled Lumpinee walls make this a rubber match  that fans can’t miss.

#3 Stamp Fairtex Reignites Her Muay Thai Career After Six Years Away

The most emotionally charged return on the June 26 card belongs to Stamp Fairtex. The only fighter in ONE Championship history to have claimed World Titles across Muay Thai, kickboxing, and MMA steps back into Muay Thai competition after six years, facing Mexico's Cynthia Flores in an atomweight contest.

Stamp claimed the inaugural ONE Women's Atomweight Muay Thai World Title in her very first Muay Thai appearance, making history before dropping the belt to Allycia Hellen Rodrigues in August 2020. What followed was an MMA journey that took her all the way to the ONE Atomweight MMA World Championship before a serious knee injury forced her to relinquish the title.

She returned at ONE 173 in November 2025, absorbing a kickboxing loss against former K-1 Champion Kana but taking satisfaction from competing again. Now, she brings a 14-5 ONE record back to Muay Thai with a single goal in mind: climb back toward the title, one fight at a time.
