Nong-O Hama: WATCH: Nong-O Hama goes at it with fellow legend Superbon in preparation for Kongthoranee rematch at ONE Fight Night 31

As he puts the finishing touches on his training camp ahead of a pivotal clash later this week, Nong-O Hama can confidently say he received all the support he needed.

The former longtime ONE bantamweight Muay Thai world champion joined forces with fellow Thai icons Superbon and Petchtanong Petchfergus to prepare for his flyweight rematch No. 3-ranked divisional contender Kongthoranee Sor Sommai in the main event of ONE Fight Night 31 on Friday, May 2.

Before engrossing themselves into the festive spirt of fight week, the trio completed one last instense sparring session at the Superbon Training Camp.

ONE Championship recently shared a clip showing Nong-O and Superbon exchanging powerful body kicks, before Petchtanong joined in and playfully dumped Nong-O to the mat — prompting a round of laughter among the three.
