Thai slugger Kulabdam Sor Jor Piek Uthai is not one to take a disprespect in the ring lightly. He made that clear right from his ONE Championship debut six years ago.
'Left Meteorite' made his promotional debut at ONE: Immortal Triumph in September 2019 in Vietnam against Bobo 'The Panther' Sacko in a bantamweight Muay Thai clash.
In one instance, in between rounds, Kulabdam tried to appease Sacko by extending his hand, which the Frenchman just waved off. Feeling slighted, the Thai fighter responded by punishing his opponent with ferocious strikes when play resumed, leaving Sacko being given a standing eight count.
The Sor Jor Piek Uthai representative completed the "payback" by scoring a unanimous decision win to get his ONE journey on the right foot.

Kulabdam starts 2025 ONE campaign against John Lineker
Kulabdam Sor Jor Piek Uthai gets his campaign going in the new year against John Lineker of Brazil at ONE Fight Night 27: Tang vs. Abdullaev on Jan. 10.
The two are featured in a bantamweight Muay Thai clash, part of the event set to go down at the Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, and air live and for free in U.S. primetime to North American fans with an active Amazon Prime Video subscription.
Kulabdam enters ONE Fight Night 27 off a skid-busting victory over fellow Thai fighter Suablack Tor Pran49 in his last fight in September. Prior to the win, he lost back-to-back matches to Nong-O Hama and Nabil Anane.
Looking to trip him is Lineker, the former bantamweight MMA king who has made a successful foray in Muay Thai, winning his first two matches, both by knockout.
