ONE Championship 將於 7 月 17 日重返 Lumpinee 體育館
Introduction
ONE Championship will host 'The Inner Circle 22' in Bangkok. The event will feature five fights, including kickboxing, submission grappling, and Muay Thai.
ONE Championship 將在曼谷舉辦「The Inner Circle 22」。本次賽事將包含五場對決，涵蓋踢擊拳、提交grappling 以及泰拳。
Main Body
The main attraction is a Strawweight Kickboxing World Title rematch between Jonathan Di Bella and Zhang Peimian. This follows their 2022 fight, where Di Bella won by decision after a late head kick. Di Bella currently has a strong 15-1 record and recently won a unification match. On the other hand, Zhang's recent performance has been less consistent, although he has won recent fights to earn another chance at the title.
最大焦點是 Jonathan Di Bella 與張佩明之間的草量級踢擊拳世界冠軍再戰。這是接續他們 2022 年的那場較量，當時 Di Bella 在最後關頭以一記高踢擊贏得判定。Di Bella 目前擁有 15 勝 1 負的強勁紀錄，近期更贏得了一場統一戰。另一方面，張佩明近期的表現較不穩定，儘管他最近贏得幾場比賽，再次獲得挑戰冠軍的機會。
In the submission grappling division, world champion Helena Crevar will face Paige Ivette Clymer, who is making her debut in the promotion. Crevar is a black belt known for her high submission rate. Meanwhile, Clymer is also a black belt who uses a high-pressure fighting style. Outside of sports, Clymer is interested in horse riding, which she enjoys with her family.
在提交grappling 組別，世界冠軍 Helena Crevar 將對陣在該賽事首次亮相的 Paige Ivette Clymer。Crevar 是一名以高提交率聞名的黑帶。而 Clymer 同樣也是黑帶，採取高壓的格鬥風格。在運動之外，Clymer 喜歡騎馬，並常與家人一同享受。
Furthermore, the event includes a bantamweight kickboxing match between Yuki Yoza and Ben Woolliss. Both fighters want to improve their rankings after losing their previous matches. Yoza is a former K-1 Champion, while Woolliss successfully returned to the sport after recovering from a serious long-term illness. The winner of this fight could potentially challenge for the title in the future.
此外，賽事還包括一場由 Yuki Yoza 對陣 Ben Woolliss 的雛量級踢擊拳比賽。兩位選手在之前的比賽中均失利，因此都希望提升自己的排名。Yoza 是前 K-1 冠軍，而 Woolliss 在從嚴重長期疾病中康復後，成功重返賽場。這場比賽的獲勝者未來有可能挑戰冠軍。
Conclusion
The event will be available exclusively for subscribers on July 17, featuring important rematches and new fighters.
本次賽事將於 7 月 17 日僅限訂閱者觀看，將呈現重要的再戰以及新選手的表現。
