Nong-O runs it back with emerging star Kongthoranee

Nong-O Hama returns to action this week against another emerging star in Kongthoranee Sor Sommai in what is expected to be an explosive contest once again.

The two are featured in a rematch in the headlining bout at ONE Fight Night 31 on May 2 at the Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand. They are going to run it back after a tightly fought showdown back in February, with Kongthoranee winning by split decision.

In their first encounter, Nong-O and Kongthoranee engaged in a spirited back-and-forth. In the end, however, the Team Sor Sommai affiliate did just enough to slip past with a razor-thin victory.

The win fortified Kongthoranee's standing in the list of flyweight Muay Thai contenders at No. 3.

At ONE Fight Night 31, Nong-O is looking to redeem himself while making a case for a world title shot next.

ONE Fight Night 31 is available live at U.S. primetime to North American fans with an active Amazon Prime Video subscription.
