"Embodiment of yin and yang" - Fans loving Rodtang's transformation from laidback husband to murderous striker in the cage
ONE flyweight Muay Thai world champion Rodtang Jitmuangnon has quickly become one of ONE Championship's most globally recognized athletes and it is not surprising to see why.
The bearer of a 14-2 promotional record with three finishes, 'The Iron Man' has rarely entered the Circle without murderous intent as he aims to prove his world-class pedigree to a worldwide audience.
But aside from being one of the most durable fighters fans will ever see under the world's largest martial arts promotion, Rodtang also has a soft side to him whenever he is with his wife Aida Looksaikongdin which ONE Championship recently showcased via Instagram.
Fans of Rodtang shared their reactions to the short video which can be seen below:
"Embodiment of yin and yang ☯️"
"Dude livin the dream 😭"
"Doesn't matter how strong you are, when the wife want to make a TikTok with her you make it 🔥😅"
"Absolutely Rodtang 👏"
"To be honest it seems like he is chill in both moods 😂😂"
The aforementioned cool and collected demeanor that Rodtang possesses has helped him out greatly in creating some memorable moments inside the Circle, especially during his most intense matchups, like the 2022 special rules bout he had with Demetrious Johnson.
Rodtang headed for flyweight kickboxing showcase
The Thai megastar is set to be featured in a flyweight kickboxing match at ONE 167 on June 7 against renowned veteran Denis Puric inside the Impact Arena in Bangkok, Thailand.
'The Bosnian Menace' previously called out Rodtang and while it might not be for the latter's flyweight Muay Thai world title as Puric had hoped for, how he fares against Rodtang in a kickboxing bout just might determine whether he gets that shot at a ONE world championship.
ONE 167 will air live and for free to all Prime Video subscribers in the United States and Canada.
