ONE Championship had an explosive start to 2026. And now, as the promotion approaches the second half of the year, fans can expect even more heat!

The world’s largest martial arts organization will broadcast The Inner Circle 21 and ONE Friday Fights 161 live in Asia primetime from the historic Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, on Friday, July 10.

In the main event of The Inner Circle 21, ONE Strawweight MMA World Champion Joshua “The Passion” Pacio will defend his 26 pounds of gold against Dagestani contender Mansur Malachiev in a rematch that’s been nearly three years in the making.

Also, former ONE Lightweight MMA World Champion and Filipino martial arts legend Eduard “Landslide” Folayang will make his long-awaited return in what could be the final match of his iconic career. He’ll square off against Japanese judoka Shozo “Great Teacher” Isojima in the co-main event.

In addition, 18-year-old rising star Jaradchai Maxjandee eyes his fourth straight knockout victory, as well as the life-changing US$100,000 contract and global roster spot in the headline attraction of ONE Friday Fights 161. But Othman “The Ironside” Rhouni looks to play the spoiler and earn a degree of redemption in his second promotional appearance.
