ONE Championship Bangkok bantamweight title change July 31 6

Entities: Lumpinee Stadium · Enkh-Orgil Baatarkhuu · ONE Championship · Elbek Alyshov · Inner Circle 24

Overview

ONE Championship’s Inner Circle 24 card at Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok on 31 July 2026 featured a flyweight Muay Thai bout and a bantamweight championship defense. The co‑main event pitted 37‑year‑old Mongolian champion Enkh‑Orgil Baatarkhuu against unbeaten Azerbaijani‑Russian grappler Elbek Alyshov, who entered with a 10‑0 record of finishes.

Alyshov captured the ONE Bantamweight MMA World Championship with a second‑round technical knockout, stopping Baatarkhuu at 2:52. The victory improved his record to 11‑0, all by finish, and earned him a US$50,000 performance bonus from ONE Chairman Chatri Sityodtong. Baatarkhuu, who had won the belt in December 2025 by submitting Fabricio Andrade, lost his title in his first defense.

The event was streamed live for Inner Circle subscribers, underscoring ONE Championship’s emphasis on high‑profile, multi‑weight contests in Thailand.
