3) Nong-O Vs Rodlek (ONE: COLLISION COURSE)
This incredible match was full of high-level fighting from both athletes. Nong-O began round one working to shut down Rodlek’s heavy punches and getting him on his heels. His combinations working from hands to feet and back to hands again kept Rodlek off balance, working to find an opening to return strikes.
Nong-O’s low kicks began to slow Rodlek down, and as Rodlek’s guard began to lower, Nong-O capitalized on heavy punches up the middle. Rodlek continued by pursuing and pushing forward towards Nong-O, but with the heavy strikes that had already landed, his balance began to be a little bit forward-heavy.
Nong-O patiently stayed out of range and capitalized on the forward-leaning balance with a powerful jab-cross combination that immediately knocked Rodlek to the ground. Nong-O retained his belt with this incredible win (and exciting match) over Rodlek.

Nong-O displays his powerful kicking game throughout the match, landing many significant strikes to the body and head of his opponent.
In round three, the two engaged in the clinch a number of times, with Nong-O utilizing the clinch to knock Kiatpetch to the ground. This round was fought at a much closer range than the previous two, with the clinch leading to significant knees, elbows, and heavy punches from Nong-O.
After pulling away from the clinch in round three with an elbow landing to Kiapetch, Nong-O uses Kiapetch’s stalking movement towards him, as well as Kiapetch’s loose, extended guard to take advantage of landing a clean, powerful uppercut, knocking Kiapetch out and snatching the victory of this match.
5) Nong-O Vs Leonard Nganga (Hilux Vigo Championship, 26 September 2014)

Nong-O managed to stalk down his opponent on numerous occasions during this match, pinning Nganga into the corner and landing heavy strikes in bunches. Nganga quickly found himself spending a great deal of the match defending himself from an onslaught of strikes and attempting to remove himself from the corner.
Each time Nganga pulled himself out of the corner, Nong-O used patience to corner him back off, dominate with strikes, and force him back to the corner. Nganga worked out of the corner into an excellent sweep, knocking Nong-O to the mat, but was met yet again, with a dominant Nong-O.
This match finished up in exactly the same way most of the match was spent – with Nong-O raining down heavy strikes on Nganga while he was pinned in the corner of the ring. Ending the match with body shots, an elbow, and a couple of kicks, Nganga finally dropped to the ground, giving Nong-O the KO.
