Kongthoranee wants shot at vacant flyweight gold if he beats Nong-O: "There should be a chance"

Current number four-rated flyweight Muay Thai contender Kongthoranee Sor Sommai says that ONE Championship should give him an opportunity to fight for the vacant ONE flyweight Muay Thai world title if he gets past Nong-O on Feb. 7 at ONE Fight Night 28, which will take place inside the Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.

In his pre-fight interview with the Bangkok Post, Kongthoranee claims that the world's largest martial arts organization should even consider this match because of how massive Nong-O's name is, as he stated:

"It's up to ONE Championship, but if you ask me, I think there should be a chance."

Watch Kongthoranee's full interview here:

Apart from a victory over the former ONE bantamweight Muay Thai world champion, the 28-year-old striking maestro holds an impressive record of 10 wins and two losses.

Kongthoranee's pile of wins include notable names like Sherzod Kabutov, Taiki Naito, Tagir Khalilov, and Nakrob Fairtex. Meanwhile, his two losses were courtesy of Petsukumvit Boi Banga and Superlek Kiatmoo9.
