ONE Championship returns to the historic Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, on Friday, July 10, with a stacked lineup featuring The Inner Circle 21 and ONE Friday Fights 161.
The event begins with exclusive bouts for members of The Inner Circle before transitioning into another action-packed edition of ONE Friday Fights, where athletes compete for the opportunity to earn a life-changing US$100,000 contract with ONE Championship.
Jaradchai Headlines ONE Friday Fights 161
The main event features Thailand’s Jaradchai Maxjandee against Morocco’s Othman Rhouni in a flyweight Muay Thai contest.
Jaradchai has quickly become one of the most exciting prospects on the ONE Friday Fights roster, winning all three of his promotional appearances by knockout since debuting in April 2025.
Rhouni impressed in his promotional debut despite facing elite competition and now looks to hand Jaradchai his first defeat in the series.
Co-Main Event Features Kickboxing Clash
In the co-main event, two-division Rajadamnern Stadium Muay Thai World Champion Petsiam T2A Waterubon returns to kickboxing action against Azerbaijani newcomer Nihad Taghizade in a strawweight contest.
The matchup pits one of Thailand’s accomplished champions against a dangerous international debutant looking to make an immediate impact.
Joshua Pacio Defends World Title
Before ONE Friday Fights 161 begins, The Inner Circle 21 features a Strawweight MMA World Championship rematch between champion Joshua Pacio and Russian challenger Mansur Malachiev.
Their first meeting came at ONE Fight Night 15 in October 2023, where Pacio earned a unanimous decision victory and handed Malachiev the first loss of his professional career.
Malachiev now gets a second opportunity to capture the title, while Pacio looks to strengthen his reign with another successful defense.
Eduard Folayang Returns
Former two-time ONE Lightweight MMA World Champion Eduard Folayang also returns to action against Japan’s Shozo Isojima in a lightweight MMA bout.
Folayang remains one of the most recognizable names in ONE Championship history after headlining the organization’s inaugural event in 2011.
