Biography and career

Originating from the Battambang Province of Cambodia, Rumchong first began learning Kun Khmer at the age of five.[2] In Cambodia, he became a multiple-time Bayon TV Kun Khmer champion.

Regarded as a legend in his home country, Rumchong has fought overseas on multiple occasions. He has appeared on the Thai promotion Thai Fight, where he has competed under their signature Kard Chuek ruleset. While there, he has faced fighters like Yodsanklai Fairtex and Iquezang Kor.Rungthanakeat.

On October 24, 2015, Keo Rumchong lost in controversial fashion to Iquezang Kor.Rungthanakeat at THAI FIGHT: 1st Round in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.[3] This would be the first of three fights the two would engage in.

After defeating Maung Jor of Myanmar at THAI FIGHT: 2nd Round on November 21, 2015, Rumchong set himself up for a rematch with Iquezang. In their second fight, the Cambodian was able to secure the decision victory at THAI FIGHT Count Down on December 31, 2015.[4]

Keo Rumchong next faced the Ukrainian Sasha Moisa in the 2018 Thai Fight Kard Chuek 70kg King's Cup Tournament semi-final at THAI FIGHT Saraburi on November 24, 2018. Being the shorter fighter by 14 centimeters, Rumchong was overwhelmed by Moisa's heavy hands and was knocked down three times en route to a second-round technical knockout.[5]

On November 24, 2019, Rumchong faced Omar Samb for the MTGP Super Welterweight -75kg Championship at Muay Thai Grand Prix 31 Bataclan in Paris. He lost by fourth-round technical knockout.[6]
