'Left Meteorite' Kulabdam Sor Jor Piek Uthai will be waiting in the wings to challenge Nico Carrillo or Nabil Anane in his second outing of the year. The two ranked bantamweight striking wizards meet in the co-main event of ONE 170 for the ONE interim bantamweight Muay Thai world championship.

Their five-round collision will get underway inside Bangkok's Impact Arena. Kulabdam talked about a dream fight against either man during the ONE Fight Night 27 post-event presser.

While he knows it won't be easy to get his hand raised, the Thai is confident it'll be an epic war for the ages. The 26-year-old offered:

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

The Thai megastar seeks to keep the ball rolling after reeling in a unanimous decision over John Lineker at ONE Fight Night 27 on Jan. 10.


Kulabdam says his aggression set him up for triumphant outing versus John Lineker

Though he was up against Lineker's signature weapon from the very start as 'Hands of Stone' sent him down for the fight's lone eight-count in round one, Kulabdam found more success in the later frames.

The Sor Jor Piek Uthai man did his best to find a knockdown of his own. While his plan may have failed, his output for the rest of the six minutes impressed all three judges at ringside inside Bangkok's legendary Lumpinee Stadium.

During the post-event press conference, he had this to say on what he thinks earned him the victory:

"I believe that I did better in terms of the second round and the third round. I believe that I did more damage."

ONE Fight Night 27 will be available via replay for free to all active Amazon Prime Video subscribers in the United States and Canada.
