Former ONE Bantamweight Muay Thai World Champion Nong-O Hama held a media workout on October 27 ahead of his flyweight semi-final bout against former ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World Champion Rodtang Jitmuangnon at the ONE Muay Thai World Grand Prix on November 13 at Lumpinee Stadium.
The 39-year-old veteran said, "My condition is almost there, nearly ready. Only the weight check remains. Facing Rodtang, I must focus on everything because I've seen his abilities — great conditioning, more weapons. We have to be tight. This is our second meeting; the first was canceled because I missed weight and then Rodtang fell ill suddenly."
Asked if he feels pressure, Nong-O replied, "No, because we've met before, though we didn't fight. This time feels different, likely due to the atmosphere. Last time in Japan the environment was different, but fighting in Thailand feels better because we're familiar with it."
"Facing Rodtang is definitely a tough job. He's a big name in this division, a former champion with heavy hands, aggressive, a brawler. I must prepare my body to handle that. Regarding Rodtang's personal issues, I think he's cleared them; he's had a full training camp. Fans need not worry — both of us have trained fully and will fight at 100% on November 13."
"I've known him a long time; we've fought on the same cards, played football together, eaten together. But when the sport brings us together, we must do our duty fully in the ring."
"The game plan is to be perfectly prepared because he's young, powerful. I must perform well. Win or lose isn't pressure for me because I fight for fun, enjoy fighting. Thanks to Chatri for giving me a part in this tournament. Deep down I want the championship, the silver belt, as a memento."
"I take it fight by fight, don't expect to become champion immediately. Get through this one first, then talk about the next. Weight is no problem because we're fighting in Thailand — the heat helps with running and everything. For the future, I want to keep fighting into my 30s, 40s, 50s. I'll see how far my body goes, but right now I can still hang with the youngsters, fight comfortably. No worries, I'll fight for sure, 100%."
"Contenders in this division are many: Superlek Kiatmuu9, Jonathan Haggerty, Nico Carrillo, Alexandre — all rising stars. Must adapt, keep evolving. Whoever trains best wins. I won't claim the throne yet; I just focus on myself, do my duty each fight."
"On November 13, to all fans in Thailand and worldwide: I've met Rodtang, prepared fully, will go in there to give an exciting, fierce, spectacular fight. I think fans worldwide want to see this pair, and I'll do my duty to the fullest."
