Nico Carrillo Talks Overcoming Adversity Against Nong-O, Puts Haggerty In Crosshairs

Nico Carrillo set out to topple a Muay Thai legend at ONE Friday Fights 46. That is precisely what he did. The Scottish striker pasted Nong-O Hama in the second round of their bantamweight bout to prove he is among the elite in ONE Championship‘s bantamweight division.

The result was even more special because the finish seemed unlikely after the first three minutes. Nong-O careened kick after kick into “The King of the North’s” leg, leaving him limping back to his corner between rounds. It seemed as if he would be on borrowed time.
