The Inner Circle 28 started cooking before the main event even got to the burner. Chartpayak Saksatoon edged Rambong Sor Therapat by unanimous decision on Friday, August 28, at Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, while Ubaid Hussain kept his perfect run alive and punched his way into a bigger ONE Championship conversation with a US$100,000 main-roster contract.
The official result sheet from ONE listed Chartpayak’s win as his third straight victory and moved his professional mark to 72-18, with an 11-2 promotional record. That is ridiculous mileage and still plenty of bite. Rambong had his moments early, including a body kick that briefly bothered Chartpayak, but the third round swung hard when Chartpayak caught a kick and cracked him with a left hand that forced the judges to pay attention.
ONE’s official Instagram reel marked Hussain’s contract-winning moment after he moved to 17-0 overall and 8-0 under the ONE banner.
Hussain Turns Perfect Record Into Real Money
Hussain had a lot more than another win on the table against Isannuea Sor Sasiwat. The British-Pakistani flyweight came in undefeated, fighting for a chance to break out of the weekly series and onto the main roster, which is exactly the kind of pressure that makes prospects either sharpen up or start leaking oil.
He did not blink. Hussain put Isannuea down with a knee to the body in the first round, then stayed busy with movement, punches, and elbows across the rest of the fight. The judges gave him the unanimous decision, and ONE gave him the kind of contract that changes the room around a young fighter overnight.
That mattered on a card tied to ONE Friday Fights 168, because these Lumpinee shows are not just filler. They are tryouts with elbows, knees, and a very real bag waiting for the right performance.
There was more action underneath the two biggest result lines. Fakhriddin Khasanov rallied late to beat Basta Abdelmouneme by unanimous decision after opening up damage with an upward elbow and adding a late knockdown. The win lifted Khasanov to 24-5 and gave him his first victory in the weekly series.

Keisuke Monguchi also got on the board by taking a split decision over Jung Hyun Woo in strawweight kickboxing. Monguchi improved to 18-6, which gives ONE another name to keep in the rotation as the promotion keeps loading striking-heavy cards from Bangkok. Between Chartpayak’s veteran nastiness, Hussain’s contract moment, and Khasanov’s late rally, this was not a sleepy undercard. It was another reminder that ONE’s striking pipeline can turn a Friday morning into a fistfight buffet very quickly.
