Lee and Ruotolo clear weigh-ins for Bangkok MMA title fight
All 28 fighters passed weight and hydration checks for two ONE Championship cards at Lumpinee Stadium on November 6.
Christian Lee will defend his ONE Championship lightweight MMA title against Tye Ruotolo at Bangkok’s Lumpinee Stadium on November 6 after both cleared weight and hydration testing. Champion Lee registered 169.6lb, while Ruotolo weighed 169.8lb ahead of The Inner Circle 37 main event.
Ruotolo already holds ONE’s welterweight submission grappling title and is aiming to become its first simultaneous world champion in MMA and submission grappling. The 23-year-old won his first two professional MMA bouts by submitting Adrian Lee and Shozo Isojima.
Christian Lee’s latest lightweight title defence ended with a second-round stoppage of Alibeg Rasulov at ONE 173 in Tokyo. In interviews with the Bangkok Post, Lee predicted a submission win in the second round against Ruotolo, while the challenger forecast a first-round finish.
The co-main event brings Komawut FA Group and Yodphupa Petkiatpet together for another bantamweight Muay Thai bout. They weighed 138lb and 137.6lb respectively. Komawut took a split decision in their previous ONE contest in February 2024.
No fighter failed the checks across the two cards, leaving all 14 contests at their agreed weights. Isannuea Sor Sasiwat, at 136.8lb, faces Jack Siatanyokkrok PK, at 136.4lb, in the headline bantamweight Muay Thai bout of ONE Friday Fights 177.
The five-bout Inner Circle programme starts at 6.30pm Thai time, followed by the nine-bout ONE Friday Fights 177 card at 8.30pm. Jack returns to ONE after three years away, while Isannuea makes his first bantamweight appearance for the promotion.
