“I would like to be the champion again” - Nong-O eyeing vacant flyweight Muay Thai throne in foray to new division

Former ONE bantamweight Muay Thai world champion and Thai legend Nong-O Hama will be making his flyweight debut in the world's largest martial arts organization this weekend.

Nong-O will be competing in this weight class for the first time in over a decade, and the 38-year-old veteran has big plans in the division. Of course, he's gunning for a world title opportunity in the hopes of once again becoming a world champion.

The Evolve MMA and Hama Muay Thai representative said in a recent interview with ONE Championship:

"The Flyweight division title is still vacant. Of course, every athlete wants to be the champion. If I have the chance, I would like to be the champion again."

Nong-O is one of the most accomplished Muay Thai fighters of his generation. And if there's anyone who can return to world title glory at the age of 38, Nong-O is the guy to do it.

Fans won't have to wait long to see the legend back in action inside the ONE Championship ring.
