Weigh-In Results: Rodtang, Nong-O, Shimon, And Ondash Cleared For Flyweight Muay Thai World Grand Prix
Just 24 hours out from the opening bell, the quarterfinal round of the 2026-2027 ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World Grand Prix is officially locked and loaded.
Former ONE World Champions Rodtang “The Iron Man” Jitmuangnon and Nong-O Hama headline The Inner Circle 38 on Friday, November 13, streaming live in Asia primetime from Bangkok’s historic Lumpinee Stadium exclusively for subscribers at live.onefc.com.
Both Thai icons seamlessly handled their business at the official weigh-ins and hydration testing on Thursday, November 12.
Rodtang, the longtime former flyweight king, stepped onto the scale at 134.6 pounds, sitting comfortably under the 135-pound divisional limit. The #2-ranked contender is determined to carve a definitive path back to the undisputed gold and prove that the Grand Prix’s coveted silver strap belongs securely around his waist.
Nong-O, meanwhile, hit his mark with absolute ease at 134.4 pounds. The former eight-time ONE Bantamweight Muay Thai World Champion and current #3-ranked flyweight contender is on a grueling mission to conquer a second weight class, securing a clean sweep for the historic main event.
The legendary Thai duo are not the only elite strikers ready for action.
Former WBC Muay Thai World Champion Shimon Yoshinari and 20-year-old phenom Ramadan “The Scorpion” Ondash also navigated their final pre-fight hurdles, locking in the bracket’s other highly anticipated quarterfinal. However, “The Scorpion” did face a brief moment of adversity during the testing window.
Their pivotal showdown, initially slated to serve as the co-main event for The Inner Circle 38, will now open ONE Friday Fights 178 — giving fans across the globe the opportunity to stream the high-stakes matchup for free.
The #4-ranked Japanese tactician tipped the scales at 134.8 pounds. He remains entirely unblemished across seven outings on the global stage, and he has no plans to surrender that momentum under the bright lights.
His opponent, the #5-ranked Lebanese phenom, eventually made weight, also at 134.8 pounds and passed his hydration requirements, though he completed the process outside the strictly scheduled testing window. The bout will proceed as planned, with a coveted spot in the tournament semifinals still firmly on the line.
Whoever emerges victorious will advance to meet the winner of the Rodtang versus Nong-O main event in the semifinals — putting them just two wins away from claiming the prestigious Grand Prix silver belt and the ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World Title.
