The Best Pictures From The Inner Circle 18 On June 12
The Inner Circle 18 delivered another memorable night of martial arts action inside Bangkok’s historic Lumpinee Stadium on Friday, June 12, and the show featured dramatic comebacks, razor-close battles, and breakout performances across multiple disciplines.
In the main event, Tomyamkoong Bhumjaithai authored one of the most remarkable victories of his career, as he overcame a pair of first-round knockdowns to defeat Anar “Atilla” Mammadov via unanimous decision in their flyweight Muay Thai clash.
The Azerbaijani striker appeared on the verge of a statement finish after dropping Tomyamkoong twice with crushing liver shots in the opening stanza.
However, the resilient Thai rallied back in spectacular fashion. He scored a knockdown of his own and then took control over the final two frames to earn his fourth straight victory in ONE Championship.
In the co-main event of The Inner Circle 18, Rambong Sor Therapat edged out Sornsueknoi FA Group in a closely contested flyweight Muay Thai showdown. The split-decision victory marked the Thai veteran’s 84th career win and extended his run on the weekly series.
Earlier in the evening, New Zealand’s Titus Proctor dropped Myanmar’s “The Phenom” Tun Min Aung with a stunning head kick and cruised to a unanimous decision in their lightweight Muay Thai clash. That win improved his flawless record to 22-0.
Plus, Japan’s Sora Tanazawa edged out Uzbekistan’s Adham Ruziev via split decision in their strawweight kickboxing clash, and Proctor’s compatriot Ethan Brockett defeated Japanese standout Sora Enmei via unanimous decision in their featherweight MMA tilt.
Before we move on to next week’s action-packed installment, take a look at the best pictures from The Inner Circle 18, courtesy of ONE Championship’s ringside photographers.
