"Nong Oh" speaks honestly about "Rodtang" and leaves a message after winning the ONE Muay Thai World Grand Prix.
On 13 November 2026, Nong Oh Hama Muay Thai, a seasoned Thai fighter, gave an interview following the main event fight at ONE Championship's The Inner Circle 38 held at the Lumpinee Boxing Stadium (Ramintra).
This bout was the ONE Muay Thai World Grand Prix flyweight (125-135 pounds) quarterfinal, bracket A, where Nong Oh Hama Muay Thai defeated Rodtang Jitmuangnon by unanimous decision to advance to the semifinals. There he will face Shimon from Japan, who also won by unanimous decision against Ramadan Ondash.
Nong Oh Hama Muay Thai shared his thoughts about the moment he spoke with Rodtang Jitmuangnon after the referee raised his hand as the winner: "I told him it's okay. He fought very well and is a very skilled fighter. But in boxing, winning and losing is normal. We have to learn from it and move forward."
"Losing is not a problem. Come back to training, focus again, and one day you'll return. Actually, Rodtang is one of my very good opponents."
"As they say, in boxing, there are wins and losses; the key is not to give up, to forget past setbacks, and to cut them out so you can fight again. One day, you will come back. Importantly, you must maintain discipline."
"When we were hugging for a while, he didn't say much because he was probably feeling sad at that moment."
Nong Oh also addressed Rodtang Jitmuangnon's fans, some of whom criticized him after two consecutive losses in ONE Championship: "To all fans who support both me and Rodtang, please don't criticize or curse the fighter who lost. He will come back, just like I once lost but eventually came back."
"Thank you to all the media who have supported me and to all fans in Thailand and abroad. Today I have moved past another fight. '40 and still strong.' I will keep fighting."
