“This will be a crazy fight” - Kiamran Nabati expects an all-out war against Nong-O at ONE Friday Fights 81
Unbeaten Russian bantamweight Muay Thai fighter Kiamran Nabati fully expects an all-out war against Thai legend and former ONE bantamweight Muay Thai world champion Nong-O Hama, when the two meet in the ONE Championship ring this weekend.
Nabati will stake his perfect record against the veteran fighter, and although Nong-O is already 37 years of age with countless ring wars under his belt, the Russian star believes his Thai counterpart is still very much dangerous.
Speaking to South China Morning Post in a recent interview, Nabati shared his thoughts on the upcoming showdown with Nong-O and what he expects on fight night.
The 29-year-old Archangel Michel representative said:
"This will be a crazy fight. We’ll see. Right now, I can’t say if I can knock him out in the first round or in the second round. I don’t know. We will see, brother. But I am ready for all three rounds of full war. I’m ready for war this fight."
Needless to say, it's the young gun versus the old lion when Kiamran Nabati and Nong-O Hama meet in the ring this weekend. Nabati has the chance to take Nong-O's spot in the top five should he emerge victorious, so a lot is at stake for the Russian star.
