The main event of ONE: NO SURRENDER III features Thai stars Sangmanee Klong SuanPluResort and Kulabdam Sor. Jor. Piek Uthai who will face off in a Muay Thai contest in 4oz. gloves.
Sangmanee Klong SuanPluResort, ONE Super Series Athlete, stated: “I’m happy for the opportunity to compete in this event here in Thailand. Even though it’s a closed-door event, ONE Championship has a huge audience worldwide and I’m glad my fans all across the globe can watch my fight and support me. I hope to make new fans as well with my fighting style. My opponent, Kulabdam, is a very dangerous Nak Muay. He’s even more dangerous now that we are going to fight in 4oz. gloves which will no doubt amplify his power. He’s aggressive and powerful. However, I’m one hundred percent physically and mentally ready for this fight. I will try to put my best performance together and get one step closer to my goal of becoming ONE World Champion.”
Kulabdam Sor. Jor. Piek Uthai, ONE Super Series Athlete, stated: “I’m so glad to be able to compete in ONE Championship again. This is my second time in the ONE Championship ring, and I’m excited because this fight is happening in my home country. I’ll be ready to go no matter what. To my opponent, let’s make our fight fun and exciting for the fans. I’ve prepared a sound game plan with my team, and we’ve studied this fight from all angles. I want to show fans what we’ve got planned on event night.”
