ONE Bantamweight Muay Thai World Champion Rambolek Chor Ajalaboon is putting his 26 pounds of gold on the line for the very first time on September 11, headlining an absolutely stacked Inner Circle 30 card from Bangkok’s iconic Lumpinee Stadium. This night is gonna be wild, blending a world title defense with a legendary farewell, and it’s all streaming live and exclusively for subscribers at live.onefc.com in Asia primetime.

Rambolek and Yod-IQ Clash for Bantamweight Gold

Get ready because Rambolek, the champ, is facing a surging challenger in Yod-IQ Or Pimolsri, who is absolutely determined to claim that throne. Rambolek, only 23, made history by earning a coveted US$100,000 contract from ONE Friday Fights, snagging multiple performance bonuses along the way. Since joining Superbon Training Camp with ONE Featherweight Kickboxing World Champion Superbon, he’s just exploded, totally unlocking his terrifying potential. He cemented his rise by dominating former titleholder Nabil Anane in a stunning five-round masterpiece at The Inner Circle 7 this past March. Now, to truly solidify his reign, he’s gotta halt Yod-IQ’s relentless momentum.

Yod-IQ is no joke, boasting a stellar 12-1 promotional record, with razor-sharp southpaw precision and non-stop output. He earned his own coveted six-figure contract and then delivered his most compelling statement at The Inner Circle 15, handing previously undefeated Kiamran Nabati the first loss of his career. That victory stretched Yod-IQ’s winning streak to ten, locking in his shot at the title. This all-Thai blockbuster pits Rambolek’s explosive forward pressure and concussive KO power against Yod-IQ’s calculated range and surgical counters. Rambolek is chasing that dynasty, Yod-IQ wants the crown. Who takes it?

Seksan’s Last Dance Against an Old Foe

If the title fight wasn’t enough, we’re also saying goodbye to one of Muay Thai’s most beloved figures, Seksan “The Man Who Yields To No One” Or Kwanmuang. He’s stepping into the ring for the very last time against a man he knows like no other: “Elbow Zombie” Muangthai PK Saenchai. This bantamweight Muay Thai farewell is just soaked in history and emotion. Seksan, 37, shunned retirement to join ONE in 2023 and then went on a magical eight-fight winning streak, earning another US$100,000 contract and becoming a genuine global fan favorite. Across 15 unforgettable appearances, Seksan stacked up a 10-5 record, with a bonus-winning knockout of Liam “Hitman” Harrison that absolutely cemented his status as one of the promotion’s most fearless warriors.

Muangthai is the perfect final opponent, seriously. Their fierce rivalry goes back nearly a decade, and Seksan holds a commanding 4-1 head-to-head lead. But don’t sleep on Muangthai, because he narrowed that advantage by snatching their most recent meeting via unanimous decision at ONE Friday Fights 114 in June 2025. This is the final chapter, folks.

You simply cannot miss The Inner Circle 30. September 11 is going to be an unforgettable night of five action-packed bouts, from a champion trying to hold onto his gold to a legend taking his final bow. Clear your schedule and get ready to witness history unfold live from Bangkok.
