Abdulla Dayakaev and Superlek to run it back at The Inner Circle on August 7 after split decision that divided the bantamweight division

Abdulla “Smash Boy” Dayakaev faces Superlek Kiatmoo9 in a bantamweight Muay Thai rematch at The Inner Circle, streaming live for members at live.onefc.com from Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand on Friday, August 7.

Their first meeting at The Inner Circle on May 15 produced one of the most debated results of 2026. Dayakaev dropped Superlek for an eight-count in the opening round with a thunderous right hand, then absorbed a sustained comeback across the second and third frames as the Thai icon poured on elbows, kicks, and clinch knees.

Two judges sided with the Russian. One sided with Superlek. The split decision handed Dayakaev the biggest win of his career and left the bantamweight division without a clear answer.

That lack of resolution made the rematch not just warranted but necessary. Dayakaev enters August 7 with a chance to permanently silence every question about the legitimacy of his May result.

Superlek arrives carrying three consecutive losses for the first time in a career spanning more than 170 professional bouts, with his ONE Flyweight Kickboxing World Title the only gold he still holds.

What the first fight left unresolved and what August 7 must answer

The first fight had a clear narrative split. Round one belonged to Abdulla Dayakaev decisively, built around the knockdown that sent a shockwave through Lumpinee Stadium.

Rounds two and three belonged to Superlek, who came back with sharp elbows, punishing right kicks, and relentless clinch work that had the arena firmly behind him heading into the final bell.

Whether Superlek did enough to overcome the first-round deficit divided judges and fans in equal measure. August 7 removes the ambiguity. A finish ends the debate immediately. Three rounds in either direction settles it on the scorecards with both men having had time to prepare specifically for each other.
