"Go get it done" - Marvel superstar Chris Hemsworth hoping to see Rodtang retain his gold against Jacob Smith at ONE 169

Rodtang Jitmuangnon is the kind of once-in-a-generation athlete that is breaking down barriers for what is possible.

The Thai superstar has become a major name in combat sports all around the world thanks to his striking skills. A combination of his elite level technique and exciting fighting style has made him the biggest star in the sport of Muay Thai.

At ONE 169, he looks to continue this form when he returns to Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok on Nov. 8. 'The Iron Man' will be looking to defeat Jacob Smith for a second time in a defense of his ONE flyweight Muay Thai world championship.

Before the fight, the champ got a message of support from another man who is a superstar in his field.

Australian actor Chris Hemsworth, who is best known for playing the role of Thor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, sent a video to the flyweight Muay Thai king, wishing him the best and stating that he can't wait to see the fight go down on Nov. 8:

"Hey Rodtang, what's up buddy? Just wanna wish you all the best in your next fight defending your championship. You're a warrior mate, you're an inspiration, cannot wait to watch it. Go get it done."

Rodtang never fails to put on a show

One thing you can always guarantee about Rodtang Jitmuangnon is that he shines under the brightest lights.

The ONE flyweight Muay Thai world champion never fails to bring the action even if it means chasing his opponents around to try and force them into fighting him.

His last outing against Denis Puric at ONE 167 was another highly entertaining clash between two tough and durable strikers.

The same will be the case at ONE 169 where Jacob Smith is out for revenge after being beaten by 'The Iron Man' on his ONE Championship debut.
