FREE FULL FIGHT: Rodtang gets into a bloody kickboxing chess match against Chinese star Jiduo Yibu
The ONE Fight Night 6 card that took place in January 2023 inside the Impact Arena in Bangkok, Thailand, was a stacked one, featuring several ONE Championship superstars.
Among them was the reigning ONE flyweight Muay Thai world champion Rodtang Jitmuangnon, who went up against Jiduo Yibu in a catchweight kickboxing fight. The full fight replay of this highly technical match was reposted by the promotion on their YouTube channel, with the description:
"Before ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World Champion Rodtang defends the gold against #3-ranked contender Jacob Smith at ONE 169: Atlanta, relive his kickboxing thriller with Chinese warrior Jiduo Yibu at ONE Fight Night 6 in 2023!"
Throughout the three-round fight, 'The Iron Man' marched forward and pressured 'The Eagle of Yi,' and it paid off early after he scored a knockdown in the opening round with a powerful right hook.
Also, Rodtang busted Jiduo up with a cut near his right eye, and from there, he doubled down on attacking that wound up until the final bell.
Eventually, Rodtang recorded a unanimous decision victory to collect his 13th win under the world's largest martial arts organization.
