The world championship fight between Nong-O Gaiyanghadao and Saemapetch is a buffet for fans of striking.

At one point, the reigning ONE bantamweight Muay Thai world champion swept his opponent, but had all of his head kicks dodged. He then adjusted and began throwing flurries of punches. Both of these men threw with knockout power and incredible speed.

The 35-year-old world champion proved why the ONE gold belongs to him, as his counters were sharper and landed with more ferocity. He managed to corner his challenger and landed a hard combination of uppercuts to score a knockdown. He finished the fight with a thunderous right cross, which knocked the challenger out in round four.

The Muay Thai great will next face a huge challenge against striking veteran 'Hitman' Liam Harrison. These two are set to fight for the ONE bantamweight Muay Thai championship at ONE on Prime Video 1: Moraes vs. Johnson II, which will be broadcast live from the Singapore Indoor Stadium and airs at US primetime via Amazon Prime Video on August 26.

35-year-old world champion Nong-O Gaiyanghadao will look to add another win to his illustrious and decorated career on August 26. The Thai-born fighter told ONE that he will be aiming for another KO victory.

“It might seem ridiculous to say that my favorite Muay Thai fighter and kickboxer is Liam Harrison, my next challenger. I’ve been following him for quite a long time. I love his style. His fights are always exciting and fun to watch. For our world title fight, I believe that both of us will go all out. And I am sure that it will end with a knockout, either for him or me.”
