Banluelok Sitwatcharachai faces former ONE Atomweight Muay Thai World Title challenger Songchainoi Kiatsongrit in the atomweight Muay Thai main event of The Inner Circle 27 on Friday, August 21, at Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok. The bout streams exclusively for members via live.onefc.com. Banluelok arrives with a 90-22 career record and a 5-1 ONE record featuring four finishes, with his only setback coming against future ONE Atomweight Muay Thai World Champion Nadaka. He has won back-to-back fights in 2026 to rebuild momentum.
Banluelok has studied Songchainoi's approach and identified a weakness in his striking defense. The 25-year-old striker from Kiatsongrit Muay Thai Gym relies heavily on forward pressure and hand power while lacking well-rounded striking combinations. Banluelok believes his own power gives him a significant advantage if he avoids getting caught cleanly by Songchainoi's hands.
Banluelok views this matchup as a career-defining opportunity and aims to achieve a historic knockout. He stated his goal is to become the first fighter to knock out Songchainoi, whose durability is legendary in the division. Banluelok is confident that securing this finish will earn him a ONE contract.
