ONE Championship returns to Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, on July 10 for another massive night of martial arts as The Inner Circle 21 and ONE Friday Fights 161 go down live in Asia primetime.
Exclusively for members of The Inner Circle, the evening opens with a ONE Strawweight MMA World Championship rematch as seven-time titleholder Joshua Pacio defends his gold against Mansur Malachiev. When they first met at ONE Fight Night 15 in October 2023, Pacio ground out a unanimous decision to hand Malachiev the first loss of his career. In the co-main event, Filipino icon Eduard Folayang — a two-time ONE Lightweight MMA World Champion who headlined the very first ONE Championship event in 2011 — returns to the ring to face Japan’s Shozo Isojima in a lightweight MMA clash.
After that, ONE Friday Fights 161 features international rising stars from across the globe competing under Muay Thai, kickboxing, MMA, and submission grappling rules — all battling for a life-changing US$100,000 contract with the world’s largest martial arts organization.
In the main event of ONE Friday Fights 161, Thailand’s Jaradchai Maxjandee takes on Morocco’s Othman Rhouni in a flyweight Muay Thai showdown. Flawless since joining the weekly series in April 2025, Jaradchai has stopped all three of his opponents. Rhouni showed on his debut that he belongs at this level against multiple-time Muay Thai World Champion and now returns looking to prove he can go one better.
In the co-main event, two-division Rajadamnern Stadium Muay Thai World Champion Petsiam T2A Waterubon returns to strawweight kickboxing action against Azerbaijani debutant Nihad Taghizade.
