Fans were equal parts astounded and in pain at seeing the Thai icon's shins getting badly bruised. They shared their thoughts in the comments section, writing:

"Blood for blood."
"It hurts just kicking my broom stick at 50% I can only imagine lol."
"No pain no gain..... 🔥🔥🔥🔥😍😍"
"Damn... Broke my shins while watching."

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.
