The 36-year-old Thai was back in action in the main event of ONE Fight Night 9 in Bangkok on Saturday, taking on England’s Jonathan Haggerty in hopes of defending his bantamweight Muay Thai belt for a record-setting eighth time.
Haggerty had other plans, dropping the champion three times en route a first-round knockout win – and a massive upset.
It was his Nong-O’s first loss in 11 ONE bouts, and one he is hoping he will have the opportunity to avenge.
