ONE revives Rodtang-Nong-O Hama's scrapped title fight as a Flyweight Muay Thai Grand Prix quarterfinal

ONE Championship has rebooked Rodtang Jitmuangnon against Nong-O Hama for Nov. 13 at Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, reviving a fight that collapsed during fight week almost exactly a year ago. The bout headlines The Inner Circle 38 as a quarterfinal in ONE's eight-man Flyweight Muay Thai World Grand Prix. The same card carries a second quarterfinal, unbeaten Japanese striker Shimon Yoshinari against 19-year-old Lebanese prospect Ramadan Ondash.

Rodtang and Nong-O were originally booked to fight for the vacant ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World Championship at ONE 173 in Tokyo on Nov. 16, 2025. ONE pulled the bout the day before that event, saying Rodtang told its medical staff he felt unwell shortly after making weight and was taken to a hospital for evaluation. Nong-O also failed to make weight and did not pass hydration testing that week. ONE said at the time only that the matchup would be rescheduled for a future event.

That vacant title was eventually settled without either man. Asadula Imangazaliev won it by split decision over Aslamjon Ortikov in June, and ONE announced the current eight-fighter Grand Prix field on Sept. 22. The promotion has now split the quarterfinal pairings across two Lumpinee cards a week apart: Imangazaliev defends his belt in a rematch with Ortikov, and Thailand's Black Panther meets Britain's Ubaid Hussain, at The Inner Circle 39 on Nov. 20.

Rodtang, a former six-time flyweight Muay Thai champion, is ranked No. 2 in the division and enters one win from 275 in his career, with five prior title defenses behind him. Nong-O, a former longtime bantamweight champion now 39 years old, is ranked No. 3 with 268 career wins and is making his Grand Prix debut after moving down from bantamweight. The Grand Prix winner is expected to move toward a shot at Imangazaliev's belt, though ONE has not laid out the exact path or prize beyond advancing through the bracket.
