ONE Fight Night 32: Nakrob won’t hesitate to run it back with tormentor Kongthoranee if given the chance: “ I never turn down opponents”

Fifth-ranked ONE Championship flyweight Muay Thai contender Nakrob Fairtex of Thailand will be headlining a massive card at home in Bangkok this weekend, and if he is victorious, the Thai star wants another crack at his countryman Kongthoranee Sor Sommai.

Nakrob takes top billing opposite Jaosuayai Mor Krungthepthonburi on Friday night, and the 26-year-old Fairtex Training Center representative is looking to put on a show. If he wins, he fully expects a rematch between him and Kongthoranee to take place later this year.

Speaking to veteran MMA reporter Nick Atkin of Bangkok Post in a recent interview, Nakrob talked about a potential do-over with Kongthoranee.

Nakrob said:

"I’m happy to take on every fight. I never turn down opponents. So, if ONE Championship match me with Kongthoranee again, I’d be happy. I’d train my hardest and go out and do it."

Nakrob is one of the most exciting young fighters in the world's largest martial arts organization today. He dropped a three-round unanimous decision loss to Kongthoranee at ONE Fight Night 26 last December, but he's looking to get that one back.
