ONE Fight Night 31: "Putting out the best scraps lately" - Fans loving the drama and excitement from an electric ONE Fight Night 31 card

ONE Championship fans are still feeling the excitement from the epic card that was ONE Fight Night 31, which was held last Friday, May 2, inside the hallowed halls of the Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.

Headlining the card, Muay Thai legend Nong-O Hama avenged his split-decision defeat to Kongthoranee Sor Sommai in February with a clear-cut unanimous decision outing. In the co-main event, ONE welterweight submission grappling world champion Tye Ruotolo dominated Dante Leon in defense of the crown.

The undercard was just as exciting, thanks to landmark performances from ONE debutant Abolfazl Alipourandi, recent main roster signee Abdulla Dayakaev, and flyweight Muay Thai rising star Jordan Estupinan.

The world's largest martial arts promotion posted a nine-minute highlight reel of the entire card on YouTube for fans around the world to enjoy.
