ONE Championship has announced an all-Thai World Title fight that has all the ingredients of a classic. Reigning ONE Bantamweight Muay Thai World Champion Rambolek Chor Ajalaboon puts his belt on the line for the first time against Yod-IQ Or Pimolsri at The Inner Circle 30 on September 11, live from Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.
Rambolek, 23, went through a meteoric rise in the bantamweight division. The Superbon Training Camp product carries a 69-10 striking record and an 8-2 ONE record into his first title defense, riding a six-fight win streak that has bulldozed through the division's most formidable names.
His journey to the top began on the ONE Friday Fights circuit, where he became the first fighter to earn a US$100,000 ONE contract on that stage. Fittingly for a fighter whose name translates to "Little Rambo," his path to the belt was built on the kind of fearless attacking style that has made him one of the most exciting young champions in ONE history.
A knockout of Abdulla Dayakaev earned him the title shot, and he capitalised by defeating Nabil Anane on March 20 to claim the ONE Bantamweight Muay Thai World Title.
Waiting to test his mettle is a challenger who has been building toward this moment fight by fight. Yod-IQ, 24, trains out of PK Saenchai Muaythaigym and carries a 127-36 career record and a 12-1 ONE record into the title challenge, riding a remarkable 10-fight win streak.
The Bangkok-based Thai star also holds a victory over Dayakaev, the same man Rambolek defeated to earn his title shot, giving this matchup an intriguing, shared connection.
His head kick knockout of Alexey Balyko in December 2025 earned him a six-figure contract and announced him as one of the division's most dangerous contenders, and back-to-back victories over tough opposition in his last two outings have only strengthened his credentials heading into September 11.
Two fighters who have carved their way through the bantamweight division on separate but parallel paths, now destined to collide for the ultimate prize.
