ONE Championship fans are still in disbelief at how the great Nong-O Hama dismantled the hard-hitting Felipe Lobo in their ONE bantamweight Muay Thai world championship bout in March 2022 at ONE X.
Nong-O, then reigning as the 145-pound Muay Thai king, stayed in step with his Brazilian counterpart for much of their world title tilt despite being six years older than 'Demolition Man'.
Late in the third round, Lobo tried to outpace and outstrike the 38-year-old icon. Nong-O instead rewarded him with a cracking uppercut right through his guard, which dropped him to the canvas. Though the challenger tried to get back on his feet, the referee saw he was in no condition to continue and waved him off.
Check out multiple angles of the knockout below, which ONE shared on Instagram:
