ONE Fight Night 31: “I’m happy to see him do that” - Nong-O Hama unbothered that Kongthoranee trained at PK Saenchai for their rematch

Striking veteran and former longtime ONE bantamweight Muay Thai world champion Nong-O Hama of Thailand is hard at work, preparing for his upcoming rematch with countryman and No.3-ranked flyweight Muay Thai contender Kongthoranee Sor Sommai. But so is the young star.

The Muay Thai legend and Kongthoranee are set to meet this weekend, and the latter has gotten approval from his gym to cross train at PK Saenchai, who are close friends of Nong-O.

Speaking to DO MUAY in a recent interview on YouTube, Nong-O says he isn't bothered by Kongthoranee training with his friends. In fact, he's glad it's happening.

The legendary Muay Thai fighter said:

"I’m happy to see him do that and gain more experience. But for me, I’m just focused on my job. I plan to go all out in the fight as long as there are no problems with anything else."

Nong-O Hama is one of the most decorated Muay Thai fighters in history. After moving to flyweight earlier this year, however, the legendary fighter lost a close split decision.

Now, the veteran is out for revenge.
