ONE Championship announces major martial arts events for late 2026

ONE Championship has scheduled a series of high-profile martial arts events spanning October and November 2026. The ONE Friday Fights 176 event, held at Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, features Muay Thai, MMA, and kickboxing, with a $100,000 contract at stake for an unsigned winner. The main event includes a flyweight Muay Thai bout between Rambong Sor Therapat and Jacob Thompson.

In November, the organization will host five major events in Thailand and Japan. A headline matchup at The Inner Circle 37 on November 6 features two-division ONE World Champion Christian Lee defending his lightweight MMA title against submission grappling champion Tye Ruotolo. This bout carries personal significance as Ruotolo previously defeated Lee’s brother, Adrian Lee, in professional MMA.
