World-class strikers and the next generation of stars headline ONE Championship's action-packed doubleheader on Friday, July 24, at Bangkok's Lumpinee Stadium.
The Inner Circle 23 and ONE Friday Fights 163 showcase 14 thrilling contests across MMA, Muay Thai, and kickboxing, featuring the highly anticipated promotional debut of a striking phenom, the return of a seven-time World Champion, and a legendary fighter pursuing another title milestone.
The main event delivers championship drama when legendary 42-year-old Sam-A Gaiyanghadao pursues interim strawweight Muay Thai World Championship gold against phenom Aliff Sor Dechapan.
Facing him is 23-year-old sensation Aliff Sor Dechapan, carrying an impressive 62-9 striking record and stellar 9-2 ONE Championship slate. Aliff's five-fight winning streak with five finishing victories suggests championship-caliber abilities.

The 30-year-old Thai striker's perfect 3-0 ONE kickboxing record and outstanding 251-44 career striking resume establish him as a force whenever he steps into the ring.
