Full Card Revealed For The Inner Circle 29 On September 4
ONE Championship returns to Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, on Friday, September 4, with another exclusive card streaming live at live.onefc.com.
The Inner Circle 29 features a bantamweight kickboxing main event between a decorated Thai veteran and one of the promotion’s most exciting young stars. The card also features a Lumpinee Stadium World Champion back on the hunt for a US$100,000 contract.
Topping the card is a bantamweight kickboxing bout between already contracted fighters Ferrari Fairtex and Akif “King” Guluzada.
Ferrari is one of the most accomplished Thai strikers of his generation — a 2021 Sports Writers Association Fighter of the Year, Channel 7 Boxing Stadium Champion, and a Lumpinee and Rajadamnern Stadium veteran who brought that pedigree to ONE and once built a four-fight win streak before a difficult stretch in 2025.
He returned at ONE Fight Night 44 this past June with a bantamweight Muay Thai win over Japan’s Shinji Suzuki and now steps back into the ring under kickboxing rules — the first time he’s doing so in ONE.
Standing across from him is a 21-year-old athlete with only one promotional loss. Guluzada made his name on the weekly Friday Fights platform with three consecutive victories, the last of which — a spinning back elbow knockout of Puengluang Baanramba — earned him a six-figure contract before he had turned 20.
Since joining the main roster, the Azerbaijani from Team Mehdi Zatout and Team Chingiz Allazov has beaten Sean Climaco and Jaosuayai Mor Krungthepthonburi by decision, demonstrating the kind of composed, high-IQ striking that makes him difficult for anyone in the division to handle.
For Ferrari, this is a chance to conquer a new sport. For Guluzada, it’s a chance to add a decorated name to his already impressive resume.
In the co-main event, Mongkoldetlek Por Pim-on takes on Yassir Rassafi in bantamweight Muay Thai action.
Mongkoldetlek is a former Lumpinee Stadium Muay Thai World Champion who has shared the ring with the sport’s elite. He once pushed future kickboxing king Jonathan “The General” Haggerty to the distance and beat future ONE World Champion Joseph Lasiri. Then he stepped away from the global stage for four years.
He returned in 2026 with renewed clarity and has not dropped a decision since, defeating Ruslan Tuktarov at ONE Friday Fights 156 and then stopping Utkirzhon Khamidov in the second round at ONE Friday Fights 163 with a push kick to the liver that dropped the Uzbek newcomer and ended the fight — two wins, two performances that showed the Lumpinee legend has lost nothing.
Rassafi is the dangerous unknown tasked with ending that momentum. A win here for Mongkoldetlek would put him firmly in the contract conversation, which is the destination he has been building toward since his return.
