ONE Bantamweight Muay Thai World Champion Rambolek Chor Ajalaboon will defend his title for the first time against Yod-IQ at The Inner Circle 30 on September 11. The 23-year-old Thai fighter has promised an aggressive performance in front of his home crowd.
“I’m going all out,” Rambolek said about his upcoming title defense. The champion aims to deliver a statement victory that showcases his aggressive fighting style.
From Temple Fairs to World Champion
Rambolek’s journey to the top began in Chaiyaphum, Thailand, where he started training Muay Thai for fun as a child from a farming family. His first fight took place at a local temple fair, where he earned just $8.30 for his debut victory.
The fighter’s breakthrough came after he moved to Bangkok at age 15 seeking bigger opportunities. Five years later, he captured the 140-pound Muay Thai title at Channel 7 Boxing Stadium, which caught ONE Championship’s attention.
Rambolek made an instant impact in ONE’s Friday Fights series. He defeated Theeradet Chor Hapayak and Zhang Chenglong, both by second-round stoppages, becoming the first fighter to earn a $100,000 contract from the platform.
In March 2026, Rambolek reached the peak of his career by winning the ONE Bantamweight Muay Thai World Title. He defeated Nabil Anane by unanimous decision after five rounds in a technical performance at ONE Friday Fights 147.
Training Under Superbon’s Guidance
The champion trains at Superbon Training Camp under the guidance of fellow Thai fighter Superbon. His coach has been helping him prepare for the challenges of being a world champion and defending his title.
Rambolek’s aggressive style has earned him the nickname “Little Rambo,” which translates from his Thai fight name Rambolek. Despite standing 5’8″ tall, he has built a reputation as a walk-forward fighter with an iron will.
The champion holds an impressive record in ONE Championship with eight wins and two losses. He has finished five of his eight victories, giving him a 63% finish rate in the promotion.
Since joining ONE Championship, Rambolek has won five consecutive fights. His recent victories include a knockout of Abdulla Dayakaev and TKO wins over Dmitrii Kovtun and Parham Gheirati.
The champion recently spent time as a monk, which he says has brought him mental clarity. “I feel much calmer” ahead of his first title defense, he revealed in a recent interview.
Yod-IQ will present a tough challenge for the young champion in his first title defense. The fight takes place at The Inner Circle 30, with the full card confirmed for September 11 in Bangkok, Thailand.
