They say that with age comes experience. For multiple-time former ONE bantamweight Muay Thai world champion and Thai legend Nong-O Hama, age is nothing but a number. In fact, the 37-year-old Muay Thai veteran says he’s in even better shape now than when he was a young fighter climbing through the ranks.
Muay Thai is a brutal sport. Fighters often put their bodies on the line just to entertain fans as they represent their country on the global stage of competition. Nong-O, having competed at the highest levels of the sport for over a decade, knows this all too well.
This is why, at age 37, the Thai legend says he knows his body well enough and how to treat it more carefully.
In a recent interview with ONE Championship, Nong-O said that with his experience, he knows how to optimize his physical preparedness for his fights.

The Thai legend said:
“I’m always 100 percent ready, I practice as usual. And it might be better than before. Because I'm getting older, I know how to train to improve my body.”
Fans can expect the best version of Nong-O Hama when he steps back into the ONE Championship ring this Friday night.
Nong-O Hama has ONE Championship gold back in his sights
After surrendering his ONE bantamweight Muay Thai gold to Jonathan Haggerty earlier this year, Nong-O Hama is back and ready to make his way to world title contention once again. He just has to get past his next opponent, which is no easy task.
Nong-O Hama is set to face Scottish Muay Thai phenom Nico Carrillo at ONE Friday Fights 46: Tawanchai vs. Superbon, which broadcasts live from the iconic Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand on Friday, December 22nd.
