ONE Championship Unveils Full Card for Inner Circle 24 Title Defence in Bangkok
Exclusive member-only event returns to Lumpinee Stadium on July 31, featuring a high-stakes flyweight Muay Thai bout between former friends Johan Ghazali and Ramadan Ondash.
ONE Championship has confirmed the complete fight card for its exclusive Inner Circle 24 event, set to take place at Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, on Friday, July 31. The promotion’s member-only series will return to the historic venue with a main event centred on a ONE Bantamweight MMA World Title defence, headlined by Mongolian champion Enkh-Orgil Baatarkhuu against undefeated Azerbaijani challenger Elbek Alyshov.
Baatarkhuu, 36, enters the bout as the defending champion after a standout 2025 campaign that included a title victory over Fabricio “Wonder Boy” Andrade. His rise to the pinnacle of the division was marked by national recognition, including a meeting with President Ukhnaagiin Khurelsukh upon his return home and a feature appearance on Netflix’s Physical: Asia as part of Team Mongolia. Known as “The Tormentor,” Baatarkhuu brings a composed and physical style to the cage as he seeks to retain his gold.
Opposing him is Alyshov, a 27-year-old finisher who holds a perfect 10-0 record with nine victories by stoppage. The Azerbaijani fighter boasts a 90 percent finishing rate, having defeated notable contenders such as Carlo “The Bull” Bumina-ang and Jeremy “The Juggernaut” Pacatiw. Alyshov arrives with significant momentum, presenting a relentless threat to the champion’s reign.
The co-main event promises a personal narrative, pitting 19-year-old flyweight Muay Thai phenoms Johan Ghazali against Ramadan Ondash. The two fighters have known each other since competing in amateur tournaments in 2019, building a friendship that has now dissolved into a professional rivalry. Ghazali, a Malaysian-American sensation who secured his contract in 2023, accepted Ondash’s challenge after the Lebanese fighter moved up to flyweight and won his debut in May.
Ondash, known as “The Scorpion,” earned his ONE Championship contract in 2025 and has stated that any prior personal connection is irrelevant to the upcoming bout. The event will also feature two additional strawweight Muay Thai contests: Chokpreecha PK TomTKalaiyont versus Abdallah Ondash, and Salvador Velazquez Villarello against Asahi Shinagawa. The entire card will stream live at live.onefc.com.
