ONE Championship Announces Eight-Man Field for 2026 Flyweight Muay Thai Grand Prix

Reigning champion Asadula Imangazaliev headlines a November tournament that also features Rodtang, Nong-O and two undefeated prospects.

ONE Chairman and CEO Chatri Sityodtong announced the eight-man field for the 2026 ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World Grand Prix in a Facebook post on Tuesday, September 22. The tournament is scheduled for November, with matchups, brackets and the grand prize still to be revealed.

Current titleholder Asadula Imangazaliev, a 23-year-old Russian nicknamed "The Dagestan Ninja," sits at the top of the lineup. He remains unbeaten, with seven knockouts in eight ONE appearances before defeating Aslamjon Ortikov for the vacant belt at The Inner Circle 20. Ortikov, who was 24-0 with 10 straight promotional wins before that defeat, is also in the field.

Former champions Rodtang Jitmuangnon and Nong-O Hama of Thailand join the bracket as well. Rodtang, 29, is chasing the 275th victory of his career and recently fought Takeru Segawa twice. Nong-O, a former bantamweight Muay Thai kingpin, brings 268 career wins.

Japan's Shimon Yoshinari enters unbeaten in seven ONE bouts after stopping Suablack Tor Pran49 in round two at ONE SAMURAI 3 in Yokohama earlier this month. Thailand's Black Panther, 26, rides a six-fight winning streak into the event.

The field is completed by a pair of teenage standouts: 19-year-old Lebanese fighter Ramadan Ondash, who beat Johan Ghazali in July, and 20-year-old Englishman Ubaid Hussain, who improved to 17-0 at The Inner Circle 28 and earned a US$100,000 main roster contract with his eighth consecutive promotional win.
