Full Fight Card Announced for The Inner Circle 18 on June 12

ONE Championship has unveiled the full fight card for The Inner Circle 18, scheduled to take place on Friday, June 12, at the iconic Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand. The event will stream live exclusively on live.onefc.com.

Main Event Showdown

Headlining the action is a highly anticipated flyweight Muay Thai bout between Thai sensation Tomyamkoong Bhumjaithai and Azerbaijani challenger Anar Mammadov. Tomyamkoong, a 22-year-old product of PK Saenchai Muaythaigym, enters the main event on a strong three-fight winning streak, including two consecutive stoppage victories. His recent performances include a knockout win over Watcharaphon Singha Mawynn at ONE Friday Fights 116 and a third-round TKO against Bejenuta Maximus at ONE Friday Fights 149. This fight represents a significant step up for Tomyamkoong as he aims for a potential US$100,000 contract. Mammadov, a seasoned professional with a 12-4 record, brings a kickboxing-influenced style from his training at Team Mehdi Zatout in Pattaya and poses a stern test for the rising Thai star.

Co-Main Event Excitement

The co-main event will feature a flyweight Muay Thai clash between Rambong Sor Therapat and Sornsueknoi FA Group. Rambong, a veteran of 14 appearances on the ONE Friday Fights series, is known for his consistency and ring craft. He will be looking to secure his third consecutive win. Sornsueknoi, representing FA Group, has had a mixed record but remains a technically proficient Muay Thai practitioner aiming to disrupt Rambong’s momentum and make a significant impact in the flyweight division.

Additional Muay Thai Bouts

The card also includes a lightweight Muay Thai contest between New Zealand’s Titus Proctor and Myanmar’s Tun Min Aung. Proctor, a WBC Super Middleweight Muay Thai World Champion, made an immediate impact in his ONE Friday Fights debut with a third-round knockout of Liu Quan. He now faces Tun Min Aung, a 20-year-old known for his knockout power and hailing from a family with deep Lethwei traditions. Tun Min Aung has secured multiple performance bonuses at Lumpinee Stadium.

Kickboxing and MMA Action

The event will also feature a strawweight kickboxing bout between Adham Ruziev and Sora Tanazawa. Ruziev, a 17-year-old from Uzbekistan, seeks to return to the win column after a split-decision loss in his promotional debut in March.

Opening the event will be a featherweight MMA fight between Ethan Brockett of New Zealand and Japan’s Sora Enmei. This bout marks Enmei’s first appearance in ONE Championship.

The Inner Circle 18 promises a diverse night of combat sports action, showcasing talent across Muay Thai, kickboxing, and MMA disciplines.
