“I will take out his heart” - Kiamran Nabati gunning for big fight with Nico Carrillo after he beats Nong-O Hama

Kiamran Nabati wants to crush everyone in his path, especially when he aims for massive results in the promotion.

Slated to clash with Thai legend Nong-O Hama at ONE Friday Fights 81: Superbon vs. Nattawut on September 27, Nabati expressed that a victory in this crucial fight would be his chance to move forward and challenge another fighter.

And that fighter is Nico Carrillo.

He spoke of this intention during the event's virtual press conference recently, believing that ONE Championship will give him an opportunity to do that if everything goes his way inside the Lumpinee Stadium.

Nabati said about his probable clash with Carrillo:

"Of course, my fight with Nico Carrillo will be a big event. I am confident in this fight. This fight will be, you know, I will take out his heart."

However, he is also not looking down on Nong-O:

"I just want this fight, but now I'm focusing on my fight with Nong-O. I don't think about Nico now. I'm just focusing on this fight. But if this fight will happen, it will be a big event."

Indeed, tough competition would bring out the best in a fighter, and that's what Kiamran Nabati wants during his tenure here with ONE Championship.

Sharing the ring and facing a living legend like Nong-O Hama might be too much for some fighters, but Nabati knows it would launch his name to the top ranks.

And Nabati gets what he wants at ONE Friday Fights 81 on Sept. 27.

But ahead of that massive clash, Kiamran Nabati spoke with South China Morning Post about his idea to prove he can take on such a big name:

"Brother, because I need to fight against the best fighters. I don’t want to fight against no-name fighters. I need big names."
