Wang Junguang delivered the biggest result of The Inner Circle 35, defeating reigning ONE Strawweight Muay Thai World Champion Prajanchai Pongsuphan PK by split decision in the main event at Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, on October 16.

The Chinese kickboxer returned to ONE Championship after a six year absence and immediately made an impact, handing Prajanchai a defeat in his long awaited return to kickboxing.

The event also featured a highly anticipated rematch between Johan Ghazali and Diego Paez, while teenage prospects Olivia Bahsous and Malia Weaver faced off following a heated rivalry. Bahsous emerged victorious with a second round technical knockout.

Wang Junguang Stuns Prajanchai in Main Event

Wang Junguang defeated Prajanchai Pongsuphan PK by split decision in their strawweight kickboxing main event, delivering one of the most significant victories of his ONE Championship career.

Prajanchai entered the contest as the reigning ONE Strawweight Muay Thai World Champion. The Thai star was returning to kickboxing after spending more than a year away from competition following surgery.

His opponent presented a difficult test. Wang, nicknamed Golden Boy, previously challenged for the inaugural ONE Strawweight Kickboxing World Title and had experience competing at the highest level of the sport.

The Chinese fighter made the most of his opportunity, earning a split decision from the judges to spoil Prajanchai’s comeback.

The result could have implications for the strawweight kickboxing division. Prajanchai previously held world championships in both Muay Thai and kickboxing, while Wang has now strengthened his case for another major opportunity in the organisation.

For Wang, the victory was particularly significant given his long absence from ONE Championship. He returned to the promotion and defeated one of its most accomplished champions on his first appearance back.

Johan Ghazali Gets Revenge Against Diego Paez

Johan Ghazali defeated Diego Paez by unanimous decision in the flyweight Muay Thai co main event, settling their rivalry after suffering a heartbreaking split decision defeat at ONE Fight Night 32.

The rematch gave Ghazali an opportunity to respond to the result of their first meeting. The Malaysian American striker had made it clear before the contest that he wanted to demonstrate how much he had developed since their previous encounter.

Paez, a Colombian American striker, entered the rematch looking to repeat his earlier success. Their previous fight had been closely contested, making the second meeting an important test for both competitors.

This time, Ghazali secured the unanimous decision, leaving no split verdict to settle the outcome. The victory was a valuable response for the young striker and helped him put the earlier setback behind him.

Ghazali’s win was one of the night’s most important results beyond the main event. Winning a rematch against an opponent who had previously beaten him should help strengthen his position in the flyweight Muay Thai division.

Olivia Bahsous Stops Malia Weaver in the Second Round

Olivia Bahsous defeated Malia Weaver by technical knockout at 2:46 of the second round in their atomweight Muay Thai matchup.

Bahsous ultimately secured the stoppage in the second round, adding another victory to her developing career.

The result was particularly important for the Canadian prospect, who had the opportunity to turn the attention surrounding the rivalry into a performance inside the ring.

Weaver, meanwhile, will have to regroup after suffering the stoppage defeat. The matchup represented a valuable learning experience for the young American as she continues her development in Muay Thai.
