Exciting Lineup Confirmed for Inner Circle 19 on June 19

ONE Championship is set to return to Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, on June 19, featuring an exclusive event for The Inner Circle members, which will be streamed live at live.onefc.com. The card showcases two World Championship fights, headlined by a matchup between two of the top female athletes in the promotion, alongside a heavyweight rematch that promises to deliver thrilling action.

In the main event, Allycia Hellen Rodrigues will defend her ONE Women’s Atomweight Muay Thai World Championship against the formidable Phetjeeja Lukjaoporongtom. Rodrigues, hailing from Fortaleza, Brazil, has a remarkable journey; she began her combat sports career in capoeira at age seven and later transitioned to Muay Thai at thirteen. After winning the ONE World Title in her debut, she took a hiatus to become a mother. Now, following a two-and-a-half-year absence, she has made a stunning comeback, currently on a three-fight winning streak.

Phetjeeja, a powerhouse in the sport, began her fighting career at just six years old and quickly gained a reputation for her skills, often competing against boys. By the age of ten, she had already participated in over 100 fights, and she became the WMC Muay Thai World Champion at fourteen. Now a three-time ONE Atomweight Kickboxing World Champion, she enters this title fight riding a remarkable 16-fight win streak, with eleven victories coming by way of stoppage.

The co-main event features Samet Agdeve defending his ONE Heavyweight Kickboxing World Title against Roman Kryklia in a much-anticipated rematch. Their initial clash at ONE Fight Night 37 ended with a surprising victory for Agdeve, who dazzled spectators with his aggressive style and effective low kicks. Agdeve’s inspiring story includes a challenging journey from Izmir to Stuttgart, where he pursued his dreams despite facing significant obstacles.

Kryklia, a seasoned veteran with accolades in multiple weight classes, is determined to reclaim his title after the defeat in November. This rematch is not just a fight for the belt but also an opportunity for Kryklia to prove himself anew.

Rounding out the card are two additional matches, including Malaysia’s Rifdean Masdor, a three-time IFMA World Champion, who will face Iran’s Javad Mozafari, making his debut in ONE. Canada’s Olivia Bahsous will also compete against Thailand’s Phontip Khlongtoeiyouthcenter in a catchweight Muay Thai bout, with both fighters eager to make their mark in ONE Championship.
