Rambolek Misses Weight, Yod-IQ Still Eligible To Win Bantamweight Muay Thai World Title At The Inner Circle 30

Rambolek Chor Ajalaboon has been stripped of his ONE Bantamweight Muay Thai World Championship ahead of his first scheduled defense against Yod-IQ Or Pimolsri at The Inner Circle 30.

But the 24-year-old challenger in Yod-IQ still remains eligible to walk away with the now-vacant 26 pounds of gold with a win on this subscriber-exclusive card, which streams live from Bangkok’s Lumpinee Stadium via live.onefc.com this Friday, September 11.

Rambolek narrowly missed the bantamweight limit by just 0.6 pounds during the event’s official hydration and weigh-in ceremony, and the belt is now off the table for him.

This Asia primetime main event remains fully intact, however, with both camps agreeing to press forward at a catchweight of 145.6 pounds, ensuring fans in the Thai capital and around the world still get the blockbuster clash they have been waiting for.

The 23-year-old claimed his spot atop the throne with a pristine five-round display against Nabil Anane in the headline attraction of The Inner Circle 7 this past March. He currently rides a six-fight winning streak. 

Yod-IQ, meanwhile, has not lost since December 2023. He enters on a 10-fight run capped by a win over previously undefeated Kiamran Nabati that earned him a shot at the sport’s most coveted strap.

Styles rarely clash this evenly at the top of a division, and Friday’s collision still promises fireworks from the opening bell to the final horn.

Whatever the result, this rivalry is far from over. A vacant crown would likely bring talks of a rematch, while a Yod-IQ win would give Rambolek every reason to come chasing the ONE Bantamweight Muay Thai World Championship again.
