But beyond that, I think he possesses boxing techniques that other Thai fighters don’t have.”While acknowledging Numsurin as a worthy adversary, Nadaka won’t let this stop him from doing all he can to add the biggest prize to his trophy case at ONE 173.Be part of the action by purchasing a PPV pass for ONE 173 by following this link.
