Thai megastar Rodtang Jitmuangnon will face his most emotionally complicated test when he battles compatriot and living legend Nong-O Hama for the vacant ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World Title at ONE 173: Superbon vs. Noiri on Sunday, November 16, at Ariake Arena in Tokyo, Japan. The 28-year-old expressed profound respect for the 38-year-old former bantamweight king. However, he revealed some initial reluctance to compete against someone he considers both a mentor and close friend. The highly anticipated Thai versus Thai clash pits two of ONE Championship’s biggest Muay Thai superstars against each other, with Rodtang bringing 274 career victories and against Nong-O’s 267 career victories.
