ONE Championship returns to the historic Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, on November 13, 2026, for a monumental double-header of martial arts action. Featuring the launch of a highly anticipated tournament and a clash of absolute legends, ONE Friday Fights 178 & The Inner Circle 38 promises to be a landmark date on the global combat sports calendar.
With a unique two-part broadcast format, fans will be treated to high-stakes Grand Prix matchups followed by a showcase of hungry prospects battling for a life-changing spot on ONE Championship’s main roster. Here is everything you need to know about the upcoming event.
Event Details and Broadcast Format
This event is uniquely structured into two distinct segments, offering fans a full day of elite striking and mixed martial arts.
- The Inner Circle 38: Serving as the premium pre-show, this portion of the card airs exclusively for members on live.onefc.com during Asia primetime. It features the marquee Grand Prix tournament bouts.
- ONE Friday Fights 178: Following the pre-show, the action transitions to the globally broadcast Friday Fights series. This segment will air worldwide on ONE Championship’s YouTube and Facebook channels, as well as on Channel 7 HD in Thailand.
The Inner Circle 38 Main Event: A Dream Matchup Realized
The main event of The Inner Circle 38 officially kicks off the 2026-2027 ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World Grand Prix with a quarterfinal clash that fans have been demanding for years: Rodtang “The Iron Man” Jitmuangnon takes on Nong-O Hama.
This is a deeply personal and historic matchup. Rodtang, the former ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World Champion, grew up idolizing Nong-O. The two legends were originally slated to fight for the vacant flyweight belt at ONE 173 last November, but the bout was unfortunately scrapped after Rodtang fell ill and Nong-O missed weight and hydration marks. Now, they finally meet in the ring with tournament survival on the line.
Both men enter the bout with points to prove. Rodtang is looking to bounce back from a rare stoppage loss—a fifth-round TKO defeat to Takeru Segawa in a kickboxing bout, marking the first time he had been stopped inside the ONE circle. Meanwhile, Nong-O, the former ONE Bantamweight Muay Thai World Champion, suffered a knockout loss to Asadula Imangazaliev in March 2026 but quickly rebounded with a victory over Kongthoranee Sor Sommai in their trilogy bout just three months later.
The Inner Circle 38 Co-Main Event: Yoshinari vs. Ondash
The Grand Prix action continues in the co-main event of the exclusive pre-show, as Shimon Yoshinari faces Ramadan Ondash in another critical Flyweight Muay Thai World Grand Prix Quarterfinal.
With the tournament featuring a mix of living legends and young phenoms, this bracket offers both Yoshinari and Ondash the opportunity of a lifetime. The winner will secure a coveted spot in the semifinals and move one step closer to ultimate flyweight supremacy.
ONE Friday Fights 178 Main Event: Yodlekpet vs. Kyaw Swar Win
Transitioning to the global broadcast, the main event of ONE Friday Fights 178 features a thrilling Bantamweight Muay Thai collision between veteran Yodlekpet “The Destroyer” Or Atchariya and Lethwei standout Kyaw Swar Win.
The 31-year-old Yodlekpet, a four-time Muay Thai World Champion, has been in stellar form recently, winning three of his last four bouts in ONE. His recent run includes a dominant unanimous decision over Saw Min Min and a brutal third-round knockout of Gingsanglek Wor Kumchamnarn. He will need all of his veteran savvy against the 24-year-old Kyaw Swar Win.
Boasting a staggering 59-3 career record, the Lethwei specialist enters the bout riding immense momentum. Kyaw Swar Win recently secured a unanimous decision win over Slatan Jitmuangnon and a second-round TKO over Muga, proving his aggressive style translates perfectly to the ONE Friday Fights stage.
ONE Friday Fights 178 Co-Main Event: Superlek Jitmuangnon vs. Mammadov
In the Friday Fights co-main event, 23-year-old rising star Superlek Jitmuangnon looks to continue his flawless promotional run in a Bantamweight Muay Thai clash against Anar Mammadov.
Currently sitting at a perfect 3-0 in ONE Championship, the younger Jitmuangnon stable representative has shown maturity and technical brilliance beyond his years. A decisive victory over a tough international opponent like Mammadov could be the final hurdle he needs to clear to secure a permanent spot on the global roster.
The Chase for a $100,000 Contract
Beyond the Grand Prix prestige, the athletes competing on the ONE Friday Fights 178 portion of the card are fighting for their futures. The ultimate prize for delivering a show-stopping performance is a life-changing US$100,000 contract and a permanent promotion to ONE Championship’s main roster.
The undercard is packed with fighters hungry for this opportunity, featuring a mix of local Thai talent and international prospects looking to make a name for themselves under the bright lights of Lumpinee Stadium.
