Numsurin Looks To Rebuild Against Akram Hamidi As The Inner Circle 36 Lineup Is Set
Numsurin Chor Ketwina once took ONE Atomweight Muay Thai World Champion Nadaka Yoshinari the full five rounds. Now he headlines a Lumpinee Stadium card with a renewed title push in mind.
The full lineup for The Inner Circle 36 is confirmed for Friday, October 30, in Bangkok, Thailand. The five-bout card streams live for members at live.onefc.com.
Numsurin meets Algerian-French knockout artist Akram “La Pepite” Hamidi in the atomweight Muay Thai main event. The Thai earned his six-figure contract by going 6-0 on ONE Friday Fights, then challenged Nadaka for the inaugural atomweight crown at ONE 173 in Tokyo and lost on the scorecards.
Since then, he has beaten Songchainoi Kiatsongrit in their rematch at ONE Friday Fights 160. Another win would keep him firmly on the road back to gold.
Hamidi has shared the ring with some of the division’s toughest names during his time at Lumpinee. A victory over a former title challenger would reshape the atomweight picture for both men.
The co-main event features one of 2026’s most entertaining stories. Spain’s Xavier Gonzalez returns to flyweight Muay Thai against Exza Wankhongohm.
The Thailand-based Spaniard produced two knockouts in two weeks in June, stopping Payaksurin JP Power at ONE Friday Fights 157 and Chatanan Sor Jor Joyprajin at ONE Friday Fights 159. He then dropped a disputed split decision to Thway Lin Htet at ONE Friday Fights 170.
With 27 career wins and contract talk growing louder, Gonzalez needs to get back in the win column. Exza, meanwhile, would make a huge statement by halting the Spaniard’s rebound.
Three more bouts complete the night, including Tomyamkoong Bhumjaithai against Yassir Rassafi at bantamweight and a kickboxing clash between Evan Gambuto and Ranma. Here is the full card for The Inner Circle 36:
- Numsurin Chor Ketwina vs. Akram Hamidi (Muay Thai, atomweight)
- Xavier Gonzalez vs. Exza Wankhongohm (Muay Thai, flyweight)
- Tomyamkoong Bhumjaithai vs. Yassir Rassafi (Muay Thai, bantamweight)
- Petkhaokradong Lukjaomaesaithong vs. Abdelali Zahidi (Muay Thai, featherweight)
- Evan Gambuto vs. Ranma (kickboxing, bantamweight)
