ONE Inner Circle 24 Preview: Baatarkhuu Vs Alyshov Title Defence

ONE Championship returns to Lumpinee Stadium

ONE Championship brings two shows to Bangkok’s Lumpinee Stadium on Friday, July 31, with The Inner Circle 24 and ONE Friday Fights 164. The broadcasts include 13 bouts across Muay Thai, kickboxing and MMA. The action features a world title fight, a teenage clash and nine more contests for a US$100,000 contract.

Title fight leads The Inner Circle 24

The main event sees ONE Bantamweight MMA World Champion Enkh-Orgil Baatarkhuu make his first title defence against unbeaten Azerbaijani challenger Elbek Alyshov. Baatarkhuu won the belt in December 2025 by submitting Fabricio Andrade and enters on a four-fight winning streak, while Alyshov arrives as a submission specialist with a perfect record.

The co-main event brings together flyweight Muay Thai prospects Johan Ghazali and Ramadan Ondash in a bout between long-time friends. Another key fight on The Inner Circle 24 is a strawweight Muay Thai rematch, where Lebanese finisher Abdallah Ondash meets Chokpreecha PK TomTKalaiyont, who beat him by majority decision two years ago.
