ONE Championship returns to Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand on Friday 21st August for The Inner Circle 27, streaming live exclusively for members before ONE Friday Fights 167 takes over the arena later that evening.
Songchainoi Kiatsongrit and Banluelok Sitwatcharachai headline in a high-stakes atomweight Muay Thai main event. Kyaw Swar Win faces Komawut FA Group in bantamweight Muay Thai in the co-main event.
Songchainoi Kiatsongrit vs Banluelok Sitwatcharachai
This main event carries a notable storyline running through it. Both Songchainoi and Banluelok have only one defeat on their ONE Championship records. Both of those defeats came against the same man — reigning ONE Atomweight Muay Thai World Champion Nadaka. Two fighters chasing the same target, colliding on the way back.
Songchainoi is 25 years old with a career record of 60 wins and 18 losses, and his reputation on the weekly platform is built on a willingness to engage. He went the full five rounds with Nadaka at ONE SAMURAI 1 in April and lost a decision that he walked away from believing told him exactly where he stands in the division.
He is not coming to Lumpinee on Friday to be cautious. He has spent this camp working specifically on his left side defence and sharpening his boxing, knowing what Banluelok brings.
Banluelok 🇹🇭 and Songchainoi 🇹🇭 both weigh in bang on the Atomweight limit at 115lbs. ✅️

Banluelok is 90-22 in his career and has built his ONE tenure almost entirely on finishes. Knockouts of Nuatoranee Jitmuangnon, Tubtimthong IngfahhotelUbon, Petbanrai Singha Mawynn, and Rak Erawan demonstrate a finishing rate that makes him dangerous in every round. He is fast, accurate with his left kick, and arrives on a two-fight winning streak since his loss to Nadaka.
A win for either fighter does not just improve their record. It puts them directly back in the conversation for a world title shot.
