Kade Ruotolo Extends Perfect Record, Dayakaev Upsets Superlek at ONE Championship
On May 15, 2026, ONE Championship's 'The Inner Circle' event at Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok featured three significant bouts ahead of the Heavyweight MMA World Title rematch. Kade Ruotolo, returning from a year-long ACL injury, maintained his undefeated MMA record by defeating Hiroyuki Tetsuka via second-round knockout. Ruotolo secured the victory with a timed right cross and ground-and-pound, earning a $50,000 performance bonus for his first KO in the sport. In a bantamweight Muay Thai contest, Abdulla Dayakaev achieved a split decision victory over renowned striker Superlek Kiatmoo9. Despite Superlek dominating the clinch and landing heavy knees in later rounds, Dayakaev's first-round knockdown proved decisive, reigniting his contender status for the Bantamweight Muay Thai World Title. The event served as a preliminary card for the main event between Oumar Kane and Anatoly Malykhin. These results highlight significant shifts in the divisional rankings, with Ruotolo proving his versatility beyond grappling and Dayakaev overcoming a previous knockout loss to claim a statement win against a top-tier opponent.
