In his most recent fight for ONE Championship, “The General” knocked out the apparently unbeatable Nong-O Hama for the ONE bantamweight Muay Thai world title at ONE Fight Night 9. This performance sent shockwaves throughout the whole Muay Thai community.
In spite of Nong-O’s widespread reputation as one of the best of all time and Jonathan Haggerty’s ability to quickly dispatch his opponents, Nong-O was eliminated in the first round. The fact that ‘The General’ was able to beat the odds in the manner in which he did on that night immediately places him among the most revered figures in Muay Thai history.
Fabricio Andrade, a Brazilian striker who is now a prominent mixed martial arts (MMA) world champion, began his fighting career as a Muay Thai and kickboxer and competed in bouts all over the world. Prior to making the shift to MMA as his primary sport, he compiled a professional record of 40-3.
At ONE Fight Night 16, which will take place on November 3, you may watch ‘The General’ make an attempt to damage ‘Wonderboy’ in order to earn a place in MMA history. Whoever emerges victorious from this battle of kings will lead the pack of new global champions. This is a fight that every fan of fighting has to see.
The entirety of the card, which will take place at the illustrious Lumpinee Boxing Stadium, will be streamed live and for free on Prime Video in North America.
