Thai megastar Nong-O Hama had one of his best performances on the global stage of ONE Championship in March 2022 at ONE X against the hard-hitting Felipe Lobo.
Nong-O, who held the ONE bantamweight Muay Thai world championship at the time, started his fifth defense of the crown at a slow pace to keep the much younger 'Demolition Man' on his toes.
The Thai legend's patience paid off toward the end of the third round when he knocked out the Brazilian star with a sneaky uppercut.

The Thai legend successfully defended the 145-pound Muay Thai crown two more times before being unceremoniously dethroned by British superstar Jonathan Haggerty in April 2023. Top-ranked bantamweight Muay Thai fighter Nico Carrillo handed him his second straight knockout defeat in December of that year.
However, Nong-O responded with a dominant decision victory over fellow Thai star Kulabdam Sor Jor Piek Uthai this past April at ONE Friday Fights 58.
Nong-O eyeing 12th win in ONE at ONE Friday Fights 81
Nong-O's unquenchable desire to fight the best will next see him share the circle with Kiamran Nabati at ONE Friday Fights 81 on September 27 inside the Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.
The Russian star is coming off a superb first-round knockout of Suablack Tor Pran49 this past June, which extended his undefeated run in ONE to three straight wins.
Defeating the renowned Nong-O will mark the biggest win of Nabati's career yet. But as the 37-year-old Thai hero has shown, the Archangel Michel star cannot take him lightly lest he fall victim to his ever-vicious knockout power.
ONE Friday Fights 81 is available to watch live on pay-per-view at watch.onefc.com.
