   ​Ben “The Problem” Woolliss returns to the global stage at The Inner Circle 22 carrying a renewed, highly dangerous edge — sharpened by a setback he has absolutely no intention of experiencing again.The resilient Englishman collides with former K-1 Champion Yuki Yoza in a high-stakes bantamweight kickboxing showdown at Bangkok’s historic Lumpinee Stadium on Friday, July 17. The blockbuster Asia primetime card will stream live exclusively to subscribers at live.onefc.com.After instantly announcing himself to millions with a shocking, first-round destruction of former MMA king John “Hands of Stone” Lineker in his promotional debut this past March, the 32-year-old dropped a hard-fought unanimous decision to former ONE Bantamweight Kickboxing World Champion Petchtanong Petchfergus in May.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementThat defeat has done absolutely nothing to dim his competitive fire.

So, I’m perfectly dialed in to be able to put my best foot forward and compete.”Given the grueling work he has put in over the past five weeks, Woolliss has every intention of making his return to “The Madison Square Garden of the East” count.Though he refuses to boastfully call his shot, he is fired up to leave a lasting impression — one that could ultimately push him toward an unprecedented all-Brit World Title showdown in ONE Championship.“The Problem” continued:“I’m not big on predictions, really.
