Thai dynamo Komawut FA Group hops back into action at The Inner Circle 27 in search of a much-needed victory, one he confidently insists he is fully prepared to deliver.
He goes to war against Myanmar’s Kyaw Swar Win in a bantamweight Muay Thai co-main event clash. The highly anticipated bout emanates live in Asia primetime this Friday, August 21, exclusively for subscribers at live.onefc.com from Bangkok’s iconic Lumpinee Stadium.
The 27-year-old phenom burst onto the scene with a stellar 7-2 promotional record since debuting on the inaugural edition of ONE Friday Fights back in January 2023, a remarkable run capped by a concussive second-round knockout of Panrit Lukjaomaesaiwaree in their February 2025 rematch.
Since that explosive finish, however, the FA Group affiliate has dropped five straight — a difficult stretch that has clearly weighed on him both physically and mentally.
Komawut reflected:
“I regret that the results turned out so poorly, especially since I put my all into preparing for every fight. I used to fight with a relaxed mindset, but as hype built around me potentially earning a ONE contract, I got overly tense and started overthinking every move.
“This time, I’ve pushed myself to train even harder and completely reset my mindset. I’m going out there to give it everything I’ve trained for and bring out my absolute best performance again. This fight feels like a make-or-break moment for my career.”
Rather than simply move past that difficult run, Komawut and his dedicated team made a point of dissecting exactly where things went wrong across each of those setbacks, treating the intense film study as a strategic roadmap for this camp rather than something to bury.
That honest review process led to a specific area of focus heading into fight week — one the Thai standout believes directly influenced how his recent appearances unfolded and ultimately left him trailing on the judges’ scorecards.
The 27-year-old shared:
“For this fight, my trainers worked on building my stamina so I can maintain a high pace in the ring for longer. Lately, I was gassing out easily, which went hand-in-hand with my fading confidence.
“Plus, my opponent Kyaw Swar Win is extremely tough, so I really have to stay focused and keep my composure throughout the fight.”
With his conditioning now significantly sharper heading into The Inner Circle 27, Komawut is eager to put the tough skid to rest in the most definitive way possible.
A decision win would certainly do the job, but the Thai slugger has bigger plans than simply surviving three rounds inside the mecca of Muay Thai.
He shared his prediction with onefc.com:
“I’m confident I’m strong enough to stand toe-to-toe with him for all three rounds, but I’m looking to finish it early. I’m ready to meet his power with power. I’ll let him get comfortable, wait for him to leave an opening, and then land a sharp, decisive counter strike.
“I don’t want to let the fight drag out because that could work against me and open the door for unexpected mistakes. I’m going all-out with everything I’ve got.”
That same all-out mentality carries directly into how Komawut FA Group sizes up Kyaw Swar Win, who brings an impressive 59-2 résumé built on relentless aggression from his Lethwei background.
Only two men have ever beaten the Myanmarese star, and the Thai is not about to assume he can valiantly become the third without a real firefight on his hands come fight night.
He added:
“Kyaw Swar Win’s biggest strength is his durability. He can march forward and push the pace for all three rounds. On top of his durability, he has dangerous weapons like elbows and heavy punches, and he can press forward the entire fight.
“I definitely view him as the ideal fight to rebuild my confidence because he has a massive fanbase. If I can beat him, it’ll feel like I’ll be fully able to reclaim my form.”

Beyond simply snapping the skid, Komawut wants his loyal supporters to know exactly where his head is at heading into The Inner Circle 27.
After five difficult results in a row, he understands better than anyone how much a simple message of support can mean at a crucial juncture like this.
The FA Group warrior concluded:
“To all my fans, I’ve trained extremely hard and prepared everything for this fight. I am fully determined to get back in the win column, and I definitely won’t let it become six losses in a row. Please send your support and cheer for me.”
