Rodtang vs. Nong‑O Title Fight Canceled at ONE 173 After Hospitalization

Nong‑O’s failed hydration test left him ineligible for the vacant belt under ONE’s protocols.

Overview

  • ONE Championship said Rodtang felt unwell, was transported to a hospital for evaluation, and the bout was canceled with plans to reschedule.
  • The decision came hours after weigh-ins, where Rodtang passed hydration and made weight with little time remaining.
  • Nong‑O failed the hydration test and, by rule, would not have been able to claim the flyweight Muay Thai title had the contest gone ahead.
  • From the hospital, Rodtang posted that his body was not in good condition and he apologized to supporters.
  • The main event was slated for Sunday at ONE 173 in Tokyo, marking a late shake-up to a show that had already faced scheduling changes this year.
