Rambo Lek Stripped of ONE Bantamweight Muay Thai Title After Weight Miss
Champion Rambo Lek lost his ONE Bantamweight Muay Thai title on the scales ahead of his scheduled defense against Yod-IQ at The Inner Circle 30.
Ahead of the upcoming 'The Inner Circle 30' event scheduled for Friday, September 11, 2026, a significant change has occurred regarding the main event. According to a report by Khaosod Online Thailand, reigning ONE Bantamweight Muay Thai champion Rambo Lek Chor. Ajalboon has been stripped of his title after failing to meet the weight requirements during the official weigh-in on September 10.
The championship bout was intended to be Rambo Lek’s first title defense against challenger Yod-IQ Or. Pimolsri. During the weigh-in process, Rambo Lek recorded a weight of 145.6 pounds, exceeding the bantamweight limit of 145 pounds. Despite two attempts, the weight remained unchanged, resulting in the loss of his championship status. Conversely, Yod-IQ successfully made weight.
For fans and residents planning to attend or watch the event, which begins at 6:30 PM, this development alters the stakes of the main event. While the fight is still expected to proceed, only Yod-IQ remains eligible to claim the vacant world title should he emerge victorious. It remains to be confirmed how the organization will officially classify the bout's outcome regarding the championship belt following the match. This incident serves as a reminder of the strict physical requirements inherent in professional Muay Thai competition.
