"Almost non-human" - Fans in pure awe of flyweight Muay Thai king Rodtang's ferocious fighting style in ONE Championship
Reigning ONE flyweight Muay Thai world champion Rodtang Jitmuangnon has built a solid reputation for being one of the most exciting fighters in all combat sports.
His all-gas, no-brake fighting style was recently highlighted in a ONE Championship YouTube video that compiled all his victories:
"Before the flyweight Muay Thai king Rodtang defends his crown against #3-ranked contender Jacob Smith at ONE 169: Atlanta, relive his phenomenal career in ONE so far!"
See the video below:
'The Iron Man's' most notable victories were against Jonathan Haggerty (twice), Petchdam Petchyindee, Tagir Khalilov, Joseph Lasiri, Jacob Smith, Edgar Tabares, and most recently, Denis Puric.
During his fights against them, he displayed his incredible power and ability to eat clean strikes using his chin without getting clipped or knocked down. This elite fighting style of the Thai megastar was lauded by fans, especially users @alan8887, @InspectahReese, @user-wv4im3ip8k, @purodeathcore, and @insenselamin2387, who commented:
"Rodtang is almost non-human, what an amazing warrior and fighter he is. The only thing I worry about is Rodtang in twenty years time.
"The Iron Man wilts to no man"
"I would rather fight Mike Tyson over Rodtang"
"rodtang is just DIFFERENT"
"Rodtang Legendary fighting. Old fighting 😯"
Rodtang thinks Jonathan Haggerty has the advantage over Superlek in terms of power
Although Rodtang is scheduled to defend his 26-pound golden belt on Nov. 8 at ONE 169: Atlanta against Smith in a rematch at the State Farm Arena, he will be closely watching the ONE bantamweight Muay Thai world title clash between Jonathan Haggerty and Superlek Kiatmoo9 on Sept. 6.
Haggerty and Superlek will be headlining the ONE 168: Denver card inside the Ball Arena in Colorado, and the Jitmuangnon Gym representative gave his thoughts about the match in his most recent talk with Sportskeeda MMA.
According to him, both cannot underestimate each other, but he believes that 'The General' has more pop in his shots compared to 'The Kicking Machine'. He said:
"Superlek cannot underestimate him and I think he'll need to have his guard up at all time. Same for Haggerty. Superlek's Muay Thai skills are polished and extensive. Haggerty has more advantage in terms of power."
Tickets for both ONE 168 and 169 are available at Ticketmaster.
