The overwhelming support that the Thai icon has been receiving ahead of ONE Fight Night 31 is unsurprising, as many believe he should have won their first encounter this past February.

Kongthoranee sheds light on what makes Nong-O so dangerous

Third-ranked ONE flyweight Muay Thai competitor Kongthoranee is gearing up for what could be the best version yet of the 38-year-old Nong-O, and he is fully aware of what he will bring to their firefight.

He said as much in an exclusive interview with Sportskeeda MMA:

"So if you look from the outside, it just looks a little bit either slow or not flowing, I would say. But I think that's the most difficult part of fighting Nong-O, that he's also a technical fighter, and I'm also a technical fighter. Also, his right kick is very strong."

ONE Fight Night 31 will air live and free to all Prime Video subscribers in the United States and Canada.
