ONE Championship has confirmed a major quarterfinal for the 2026 ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World Grand Prix, with Rodtang Jitmuangnon set to face Nong-O Hama. The fight will take place on November 13 at The Inner Circle 38 inside Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok and will be one of the opening-round matchups in the eight-man tournament.
Rodtang enters the Grand Prix as one of the leading contenders in the division. The former ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World Champion is looking to make another run toward the title after a long career at the highest level. Nong-O brings even more championship experience. The former ONE Bantamweight Muay Thai World Champion built one of the strongest title reigns in the promotion and remains one of the most respected Thai fighters of his generation.
Their matchup was originally expected to happen in 2025, but the fight did not take place. The long-awaited meeting will now finally happen as part of the Grand Prix.
Stylistically, the bout brings together two very different approaches. Rodtang is known for constant pressure, durability and aggressive combinations, while Nong-O relies more heavily on timing, positioning and powerful right kicks. That contrast should make their first-round meeting one of the most interesting fights of the tournament.
Another confirmed quarterfinal on the November 13 card will feature Shimon Yoshinari against Ramadan Ondash. The 2026 ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World Grand Prix features eight fighters competing for the tournament title and a route toward the ONE world championship.
