Check out Nong-O Hama’s technical brilliance in this epic ONE Championship highlight reel ahead of ONE 173

Thai superstar Nong-O Hama built his legend in Muay Thai with his technical brilliance, allowing him to achieve a lot of success, including in ONE Championship, where he has been competing for the last seven years.

It is something the promotion served to highlight in a recent video post on YouTube, where the veteran fighter's solid combination of power, precision and perfection is in full showcase.

The video post, which runs for 26 minutes and has now garnered over 36,000 views since being uploaded last week, opens with Nong-O's crushing opening-round TKO win over British striker Liam Harrison in August 2023, where he broke the leg of 'Hitman' with punishing kicks to retain the bantamweight Muay Thai world title he was then holding.

Also featured are the dominant title fight knockout wins he had over Brazilian Felipe Lobo, Thai Saemapetch Fairtex, Russian Alaverdi Ramazanov and Thai Rodlek PK Saenchai.

Included as well is the steady and effective way he stood toe-to-toe against noted fighters like Mehdi Zatout of Algeria, Hiroaki Suzuki of Japan and his rematch against Thai Kongthoranee Sor Sommai in his last match, which he all won by unanimous decision.

Nong-O sees a toss-up against Rodtang at ONE 173

Nong-O believes he and Rodtang are cut on the same cloth as fighters, leaving the outcome of their clash for the vacant flyweight Muay Thai world title a toss-up.

He shared this in a pre-fight interview with ONE Championship, highlighting how it could well boil down to who makes the necessary adjustments on fight night and deliver on key junctures of the match.

Nong-O said:

"For this upcoming fight, it's all about the wit. We will see who is better at improvising and who can snatch their precise timing first."

The Rodtang-Nong-O title fight is one of five world title matches on offer at ONE 173: Superbon vs. Noiri, which is ONE Championship's second huge live on-ground event in Japan this year.
