The Inner Circle 31: Nontachai Sends Warning To Kiamran Nabati

By Admin September 18, 2026

Nontachai Jitmuangnon has a message for Kiamran Nabati, and it comes with zero hesitation.

The Thai returns to action in the bantamweight Muay Thai main event of The Inner Circle 31 on Friday, September 18, airing live on live.onefc.com, in a fight that was originally scheduled for ONE Fight Night 46 before illness forced a postponement.

The 27-year-old Jitmuangnon Gym product carries a 53-22 career record and a 6-1 ONE slate into the main event, riding a three-fight winning streak that has him firmly in the bantamweight title conversation. For Nontachai, this fight is about more than a result. It is about making a statement that cannot be ignored.

"I'm giving it 100 percent. You're definitely going to remember the name Nontachai. As for Kiamran, bring everything you've got. I'm not scared of you!" he said.

Nabati, 31, arrives as a genuine danger despite suffering the first defeat of his career in May this year against now-divisional kingpin Yod-IQ Or Pimolsri.

The Archangel Michael product carries a 22-1 career record and a 4-1 ONE mark into the contest, and the hunger to bounce back from that setback makes him a motivated and dangerous opponent. But Nontachai has his sights locked firmly on the bigger prize that a victory on September 18 could unlock.

"If I pull off this win over Kiamran, it'll be my fourth straight victory. Honestly, my eyes are set on the belt now. If I beat Kiamran, I'd love to ask for a title shot. But if the timing isn't right, I'll fight whoever the promotion puts in front of me," he explained.

Last Friday at The Inner Circle 30, Yod-IQ Or Pimolsri was crowned the new ONE Bantamweight Muay Thai World Champion after a dominant five-round performance over Rambolek Chor Ajalaboon. Nontachai watched closely, and he already has a clear read on how a potential title fight against the new champion would play out.

"Looking at the title fight, it was pretty close, but Yod-IQ was the one constantly pressing forward. If I ever get my shot at Yod-IQ, I feel like I've got the tools to break him down," he added.
