On April 5, Nong-O looks to get back on track at ONE Friday Fights 58. To do so, the 37-year-old must take out Kulabdam Sor Jor Piek Uthai inside the iconic Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.

Who is Nong-O Hama's upcoming opponent, Kulabdam?

Kulabdam Sor Jor Piek Uthai made his ONE Championship debut in Sep. 2019, defeating Bobo Sacko by unanimous decision. After securing his second promotional win, the two-time Lumpinee Stadium world champion suffered a significant setback by losing three of four fights against top-tier competition.

Since then, Kulabdam has bounced back with four consecutive wins, including a no-contest against Rafi Bohic separating his last three. 'Left Meteorite' is coming off an impressive first-round knockout on Feb. 16, when he dismantled Julio Lobo at ONE Friday Fights 52.

It should be noted that Nong-O Hama's two-fight losing streak was against world-class opponents. Therefore, Kulabdam can't overlook the Thai legend or he could leave ONE Friday Fights 58 with his first loss since March 2023.
