ONE Championship: The Inner Circle – Full Fight Card Details for March 27 at Lumpinee Stadium
ONE Championship has officially announced the complete five-bout lineup for its "The Inner Circle" event. Scheduled for Friday, March 27, the fights will take place live from Bangkok, Thailand's iconic Lumpinee Stadium.
The main event features a highly anticipated bantamweight Muay Thai rematch between Sonrak Fairtex and Thailand's Dedduanglek Torfunfarm. This bout carries significant history, as the two previously met in the 2022 Road to ONE: Thailand Final, where Dedduanglek emerged victorious, securing the championship title and a lucrative ONE contract.
Sonrak, the 29-year-old southpaw from Myanmar, enters this rematch on an impressive two-fight knockout streak, having stopped both Buakhiao Por Paoin and Yamin PK Saenchai. He brings a formidable 71-24 professional record.
Dedduanglek, now 23, has evolved considerably since their last encounter. The TDed99 product is known for his composed demeanor, technical precision, and strategic fighting style. His powerful left body kick and superior ring generalship have significantly improved. This rematch sets up a classic "power versus precision" narrative, with both fighters undoubtedly driven by the outcome of their initial clash to secure a decisive victory.
The co-main event will see Lamnamoonlek Torfunfarm face China's Yuan Pengjie in a flyweight kickboxing contest. Lamnamoonlek, a 27-year-old southpaw from Buriram, boasts a 106-30 record and is renowned for his precise, effortless scoring. His three consecutive wins at Friday Fights have built significant momentum towards earning a contract. Opponent Yuan, with a 38-4 record, is an explosive fighter capable of turning the tide of a match with sudden bursts of offense. However, this dynamic style can also leave him vulnerable to well-timed, intelligent counter-attacks, a specialty of Lamnamoonlek.
