In this fight, Nong-O showed tremendous power and accuracy in his striking. Because it was a southpaw versus orthodox matchup, he had the open side to strike in. The extra distance through the open side allowed for more space to kick with more power, and Nong-O took the opportunity.

The outside roundhouse kick from the bantamweight was continuously landing with thunderous authority whether it was aiming for Suzuki's body or legs. Visible bruising began to appear on the body of the Japanese-born athlete as early as round two. Throughout the entire fight, Nong-O was able to show off his entire arsenal of kicks en route to a unanimous decision victory.

“It might seem ridiculous to say that my favorite Muay Thai fighter and kickboxer is Liam Harrison, my next challenger. I’ve been following him for quite a long time. I love his style.
