Unbeaten British-Pakistani Ubaid Hussain will fight Thai veteran Black Panther in a quarterfinal of the 2026 ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World Grand Prix at The Inner Circle 39, at Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok on Friday 20 November, onefc.com announced. The same card completes the tournament's quarterfinal line-up with a world title rematch between champion Asadula Imangazaliev and top-ranked contender Aslamjon Ortikov.
The winner of each bout earns a place in the semifinals. Hussain, 20, is 17-0 as a professional and has won eight straight fights in ONE. The Kiatphontip UK fighter earned a US$100,000 contract by beating Isannuea Sor Sasiwat at The Inner Circle 28 and is now on the promotion's main roster for the first time.
Black Panther was knocked out in the first round of his promotional debut but has won six in a row since, taking his career total to 81 victories. The Team Mehdi Zatout fighter's latest win was a split decision over Diego Paez at ONE Fight Night 42.
In the main event, Imangazaliev makes the first defence of the title he won from Ortikov by split decision at The Inner Circle 20 in June. That five-round fight for the vacant belt divided opinion, with many viewing it as a contest that could have gone either way.
The Dagestani is 13-0, including 9-0 in ONE, and has a 78 per cent finishing rate. He has knocked out former ONE bantamweight Muay Thai world champion Nong-O Hama, Kongthoranee Sor Sommai and Panpayak Jitmuangnon, and Joe Rogan has called him the best striker alive.
Ortikov, 23, had been unbeaten in 24 professional bouts before their first meeting. The Uzbek earned a six-figure contract with eight straight wins in ONE, including victories over Kongthoranee and Jordan Estupinan. Beating Imangazaliev would avenge the only defeat of his career and make him the first Uzbek to win a ONE Muay Thai world title.
