Surging Thai knockout artist “Left Meteorite” Kulabdam Sor Jor Piek Uthai is now just hours away from perhaps the biggest fight of his professional career.

This Friday in Asia primetime at ONE Friday Fights 58: Superbon vs. Grigorian II, the heavy-handed 25-year-old will take on former longtime ONE Bantamweight Muay Thai World Champion Nong-O Hama in a high-stakes clash that has striking fans anxious with anticipation.

Slated to go down in front of a packed house at the iconic Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, that bout will be Kulabdam’s chance to extend his three-fight first-round knockout streak and – quite possibly – put himself knocking on the door of a World Title shot.

After reeling off a trio of highlight-reel stoppages, the 93-fight veteran will now take on a true icon of Muay Thai.  While Nong-O currently finds himself in unfamiliar territory, riding a two-fight skid, he remains one of the most respected and dangerous athletes in Muay Thai.

Given his foe’s unmatched credentials, Kulabdam believes that another knockout win on April 5 could secure him a crack at 26 pounds of gold: “If I can beat Nong-O impressively enough, it shouldn’t be difficult for me to get the title shot with Jonathan Haggerty.”

Current bantamweight Muay Thai king Jonathan “The General” Haggerty is set to defend his gold against flyweight kickboxing titleholder “The Kicking Machine” Superlek Kiatmoo9 in September at ONE 168: Denver.

“Left Meteorite” will never say no!

Never one to pick and choose his opponents, “Left Meteorite” is happy to face whoever ONE puts in front of him next, but if he’s able to get past Nong-O at ONE Friday Fights 58, he’s hungry for a showdown with “The General.”

Kulabdam added:“Who do I want to fight next? It depends on ONE’s matchmakers because I’m not a picky. But it would be great if I could face Haggerty.”

“Knocking out Nong-O is really important for me because it’ll be a ticket to the title shot.” He has his eyes set clearly on the title and now, perhaps his biggest opponent to date. Will he crumble to the pressure or emerge a diamond? Who is your pick?
