Kongthoranee Sor Sommai took centerstage at ONE Fight Night 28 last Friday, Feb. 7, when he welcomed former ONE bantamweight Muay Thai king Nong-O Hama to the flyweight Muay Thai division.
Like his June 2024 matchup with two-sport king Superlek Kiatmoo9, the Sor Sommai product had too much respect for Nong-O to unleash his vicious combos early on. This reverence allowed the legendary striker to make the fight initially uncomfortable for the 28-year-old.
Kongthoranee eventually shook it off and had an epic exchange with Nong-O midway through round two that ultimately turned the tide in his favor to win via split decision.
Check out their tradeoff below, which ONE shared on Instagram:

Kongthoranee doubles down on hopes of fighting for flyweight Muay Thai gold
Before his showdown with Nong-O inside the Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, Kongthoranee staked his claim to fight for the currently vacant ONE flyweight Muay Thai world championship should he win at ONE Fight Night 28.
He told combat sports journalist Nick Atkin:
"It's up to ONE Championship, but if you ask me, I think there should be a chance."
