Featuring four Muay Thai fights, four mixed martial arts matches and one kickboxing contest, “ONE 159” was held at the Singapore Indoor Stadium in Kallang, Singapore on July 22, 2022. In the third bout of the evening, Klinmee fought Liam “Lethal” Nolan, 25, of London, England in a Muay Thai fight in the lightweight division.
Olivier Coste served as the referee of the lightweight bout. He stopped it after 5 seconds in the second round after Klinmee knocked out Nolan via left hook.
