The world's largest martial arts promotion recently shared a video on Instagram featuring a close-up look at how much punishment Nong-O takes to his shins in training camp to strengthen them for battle inside the circle.

The pain that Nong-O undergoes every single training camp in preparation for his fights is nothing compared to losing, which is why he was able to put together a 10-fight winning streak while defending the ONE bantamweight Muay Thai world championship seven times to start his ONE tenure.
However, luck has not favored Nong-O in four of his last five fights, with his most recent showing being a narrow split-decision defeat to Kongthoranee Sor Sommai in February.
Nong-O set to cross paths with Kongthoranee again on May 2
Because their first meeting could have truly gone either way, the promotion is giving fans exactly what they want by having Nong-O and Kongthoranee fight again.
Their second go-around will take place in the show-closer of ONE Fight Night 31 on May 2 inside the legendary Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.
The entire event will be available live and free to all Prime Video subscribers in the United States and Canada.
