Former ONE Championship bantamweight Muay Thai king Nong-O Hama is set to face Nico Carrillo at ONE Friday Fights 46 in Bangkok on December 22, sources told the Post.

The bout, a potential title eliminator, will bolster a stacked year-end card at Lumpinee Stadium, which already boasts three title fights.

Superbon will challenge Tawanchai for the featherweight Muay Thai title in the main event, with Phetjeeja Ormeekhun and Anissa Meksen set to face off for the interim atomweight kickboxing title.

The martial arts promotion announced last Saturday that divisional champion Joseph Lasiri and interim king Prajanchai PK Saencahi will also unify the strawweight Muay Thai title at the event.

Scotland’s Carrillo, 22, was tipped as a future champion after earning a US$100,000 ONE Championship contract after just two wins on the weekly ONE Friday Fights cards at Lumpinee.
