After an entertaining three-round battle, the former ONE bantamweight Muay Thai world champion got the unanimous decision victory over the 28-year-old contender to get one back.

This was Nong-O's revenge win over Kongthoranee after getting away with a close split decision victory in their first match last February at ONE Fight Night 28. Additionally, Nong-O received the $50,000 bonus for this incredible performance.

Superbon was also instrumental in this win by Nong-O, as he was in his camp for this match to help him and was present at his corner during the fight.

The Evolve MMA-affiliated athlete credited Kongthoranee for bringing his A-game into their second meeting and being stronger.

However, the 38-year-old Thai veteran said that it didn't have much effect on him because he was able to get the job done thanks to the rigorous training and preparation he had for this bout.
