Rodtang misses weight for ONE 167 bout, kickboxing clash now set for catchweight
The Jitmuangnon Gym product was originally scheduled to have a flyweight kickboxing bout against combat sports vet Denis Puric at ONE 167 on Friday, June 7.
However, Rodtang's official weight came in at 141.25 pounds which was well over the 135-pound limit set for the flyweight division.
In contrast, Puric easily cleared the weigh-ins as he came in at 134.75 pounds and now has the option to ask for a minimum of 25 percent of Rodtang's $270,000 purse.
Despite the complications, their kickboxing bout will continue but it will now be at a catchweight of 141.25 pounds.
ONE 167 emanates live from the Impact Arena in Bangkok, Thailand.
The full card will air live and for free to all Prime Video subscribers in the United States and Canada.
