FREE FULL FIGHT: Thai legend Nong-O Hama shows off his class in methodical beatdown of Kulabdam in Bangkok
Former ONE bantamweight Muay Thai world champion Nong-O Hama returned to the win column earlier this year when he defeated fellow Thai Kulabdam Sor Jor Piek Uthai in the co-main event of ONE Friday Fights 58 this past April inside the Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.
The full fight replay of the entertaining and highly technical bout was looked back by ONE Championship on YouTube channel:
"Former ONE Bantamweight Muay Thai World Champion Nong-O takes on undefeated Russian warrior Kiamran Nabati and Thai knockout artist Kulabdam collides with hard-hitting compatriot Suablack at ONE Friday Fights 81 this September 27! Before those battles go down live, flash back to their heated Muay Thai showdown at ONE Friday Fights 58 in April!"

Both fighters started off slow in the match as they gauged each other's power and calculated the distance of their strikes in the opening round. However, Nong-O had more success with his patented kicks, which landed on Kulabdam's body multiple times.
In the second stanza, 'Left Meteorite' tried to pressure Nong-O by marching forward and quick combinations, but he was met with powerful counter kicks that fended off his offense. Once again, the former bantamweight Muay Thai king found more success with cleaner shots.
With momentum on his side, the Evolve MMA representative punctuated the match with more combinations in the third and final round to eventually cruise into a comfortable unanimous decision nod from the judges and snap his two-fight skid.
