ONE Championship has announced the complete five-bout lineup for its “The Inner Circle” event, scheduled for Friday, March 27. The event will be streamed live exclusively for members from Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.
Headlining the night is a bantamweight Muay Thai rematch between Sonrak Fairtex and Thailand’s Dedduanglek Torfunfarm. This matchup holds significant history, as the two previously clashed in the 2022 Road to ONE: Thailand Final, where Dedduanglek emerged victorious, securing a championship title and a lucrative ONE contract.
Sonrak, a 29-year-old southpaw from Myanmar, enters this rematch on an impressive two-fight knockout streak, having finished both Buakhiao Por Paoin and Yamin PK Saenchai within the distance. He brings a record of 71-24 to the ring.
Dedduanglek, now 23, has evolved considerably since their last encounter. The TDed99 product is recognized as a composed, technically precise, and intelligent fighter whose left body kick and ring generalship have shown remarkable improvement. This fight is framed as a contest of power versus precision, with their initial meeting adding extra motivation for both athletes to deliver a decisive finish this time.
The co-main event will feature a flyweight kickboxing bout between Lamnamoonlek Torfunfarm and China’s Yuan Pengjie. Lamnamoonlek, a 27-year-old southpaw from Buriram, boasts a 106-30 record and is known for his metronomic precision, which makes scoring appear effortless. Three consecutive wins on the Friday Fights stage have built significant momentum towards a potential contract. His opponent, Yuan, holds a 38-4 record and is characterized by his explosive power, capable of dramatically shifting the fight’s momentum. However, this same dynamism can leave him vulnerable to high-IQ counter-attacks, an area where Lamnamoonlek excels.
