Rodtang and Nong-O to face off in Muay Thai World Grand Prix
Muay Thai stars Rodtang Jitmuangnon and Nong-O Hama are set to compete in a quarterfinal bout for the ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World Grand Prix at Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok on November 13.
Rodtang, currently ranked number two in the division, aims to redeem himself following a TKO loss to Takeru Segawa. He stated that he intends to maintain his signature fighting style and has hired a nutritionist to ensure successful weight management for the tournament. Rodtang expressed deep respect for his opponent, noting that Nong-O remains a dangerous fighter with high technical skill and discipline.
Nong-O, the former Bantamweight Muay Thai World Champion ranked number three, enters the tournament at age 40. He expressed pride in being selected as one of the eight elite fighters and is eager to secure the prestigious silver strap. This matchup follows a previously cancelled meeting due to hydration and health issues, and Nong-O has promised an all-out war in this highly anticipated clash.
