ONE Championship returned to the fabled Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, for an exhilarating double-header weekend that was highlighted by two quarterfinal matchups in the 2026-2027 ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World Grand Prix.

The Inner Circle 38 opened the night with five explosive Muay Thai bouts, topped by one of the most anticipated fights of the year. The members-only card was streamed exclusively via live.onefc.com in Asia primetime on Friday, November 13.

Former ONE Bantamweight Muay Thai World Champion Nong-O Hama stunned fans around the globe in the main event, as he dropped former longtime flyweight king Rodtang “The Iron Man” Jitmuangnon with an electrifying head kick. He went on to claim a unanimous decision victory and advance to the semifinals of the prestigious tournament.

Following that bout, ONE Friday Fights 178 went live. The show was kicked off by the second quarterfinal matchup, where Shimon Yoshinari outclassed Lebanese phenom Ramadan “The Scorpion” Ondash to secure a unanimous decision win and book his place in the semifinals.

The Japanese standout will now face Nong-O in the semifinal round. Whoever emerges victorious from that battle will advance to the ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World Grand Prix Championship Final and challenge for the ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World Title.
