“I know his style” - ‘Left Meteorite’ Kulabdam insists potential rematch with Nabil Anane will go differently

Kulabdam Sor Jor Piek Uthai wants to even the score with Nabil Anane.

Kicking off the new year at ONE Fight Night 27, Kulabdam scored one of the biggest wins of his career this far, besting former ONE bantamweight MMA world champion John 'Hands of Stone' Lineker in a Muay Thai battle for the ages.

It was the Thai's second-straight win under the ONE banner after he previously landed a third-round knockout against Suablack Tor Pran49 at ONE Friday Fights 81 in September. Before that, he suffered a vicious KO loss against the 6'4" tall Anane — a defeat he's ready to avenge on martial arts' biggest global stage.

"Now that I know his style, now that I learned the lessons, I think I would have to just work on myself in the fight camp more," Kulabdam said of a potential rematch with Anane during his ONE Fight Night 27 post-fight interview.

Kulabdam's win over Lineker inside the legendary Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok moved him to 9-5 in ONE Championship and earned him his 72nd victory overall.

Kulabdam wants to fight the winner of Nabil Anane vs. Nico Carrillo at ONE 170

On Friday, January 24, Nabil Anane is scheduled to return to Thailand for a showdown with Scottish sensation Nico Carrillo — the winner leaving as the interim ONE bantamweight Muay Thai world champion.

Originally, 'The King of the North' was scheduled to face undisputed two-sport titleholder Superlek Kiatmoo9 at ONE 170 inside Impact Arena, but an injury forced 'The Kicking Machine' out of the bout. Enter Anane, who rides into his first ONE world title opportunity on an impressive five-fight win streak, including Ws against Muangthai PK Saenchai, Felipe Lobo, Soe Lin Oo, and of course, Kulabdam.

It's a fight that Kulabdam will no doubt have his eyes on, and no matter who leaves ONE 170 with the interim title, Kulabdam believes he should be the first one up to challenge the winner.

"If I get matched with the winner, I'm ready," he said. "It's 50/50. But for sure, it would be fun and entertaining."

Fans in the United States and Canada can watch ONE 170: Tawanchai vs. Superbon II will air live on Amazon Prime Video on Friday, January 24 in U.S. primetime.
