#1. Is Nong-O the greatest Muay Thai fighter in history after his win at ONE Friday Fights 1?

Nong-O Gaiyanghadao is putting together an impressive win streak on top of his already legendary career. Even before Nong-O was in ONE, he held four world championship titles across four weight classes in Lumpinee, plus one more world title in Rajadamnern Stadium.

Upon entering ONE Championship, his winning ways never ceased. He quickly earned the illustrious ONE bantamweight Muay Thai world championship and has now defended his throne seven consecutive times, with the most recent five being won via knockout, including at ONE Friday Fights 1.

Overall in his career, the 36-year-old Nong-O has earned victory in an incredible 265 bouts since taking his first fight at the age of just nine. To be able to watch Nong-O compete at this level with this much dominance is tantamount to watching history being made in front of our eyes.
