ONE Friday Fights 156 and The Inner Circle delivered another action packed double event from Bangkok, showcasing elite Muay Thai, kickboxing, and MMA talent from across Asia. The card featured explosive knockouts, technical battles, and breakout performances across multiple weight classes. But for Korean MMA fans, all eyes were on one matchup: Seong Gyu Jang vs Adilet “Shumkar” Kalenderov in a flyweight MMA bout that carried major implications for Jang’s future.
The result was not what Korean fans hoped for. Adilet Kalenderov defeated Seon Gyu Jang by unanimous decision, handing the Korean prospect his second consecutive loss following his defeat to Sardor Karimboev on August 15, 2025. The setback marks a pivotal moment in Jang’s career, raising important questions about his trajectory, development, and what must come next.
What’s next for Seong Gyu Jang?
Seong Gyu Jang’s loss to Adilet Kalenderov is a setback, but not a dead end. The Korean prospect still has the tools, athleticism, and competitive spirit to rebound. What matters now is how he responds. A matchup against a fellow rising fighter coming off a loss would allow Jang to rebuild momentum. Jang performs best when he can dictate range. A fight against a striker rather than a pressure grappler could help him reestablish his identity. With the right adjustments, Jang can absolutely reenter the conversation as a rising force in ONE’s flyweight division.
