Kongthoranee Sor Sommai, currently ranked third in the flyweight Muay Thai division, is set to face former ONE Bantamweight Muay Thai World Champion Nong-O Hama in a highly anticipated rematch on Friday, May 2. The bout will headline ONE Fight Night 31 at the iconic Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, and could be a defining moment in Kongthoranee’s pursuit of a World Title shot.

Their previous meeting in February ended in a narrow split-decision victory for Kongthoranee. Although the win solidified his place among the sport’s elite, the outcome sparked debate among fans and analysts, with many questioning the decision and calling for a rematch to settle the score more convincingly.
