“It can affect you greatly” - Rodtang warns Superlek and Jonathan Haggerty of notorious Denver elevation

Reigning and undisputed ONE flyweight Muay Thai world champion 'The Iron Man' Rodtang Jitmuangnon of Thailand has sent out a warning to both men competing in the main event at ONE 168: Denver this weekend.

All too familiar with the adverse effects of Colorado elevation, Rodtang says ONE flyweight kickboxing king 'The Kicking Machine' Superlek Kiatmoo9 and two-sport bantamweight titleholder 'The General' Jonathan Haggerty should do what they need to do to acclimate to Denver as soon as possible.

Rodtang told Sportskeeda MMA in an exclusive interview:

​

"The altitude will definitely play a role here. If you're not used to it, it can affect you greatly, especially in later rounds."

'The Kicking Machine' Superlek Kiatmoo9 is set to challenge 'The General' Jonathan Haggerty for the ONE bantamweight Muay Thai world title.

The two lock horns in the main event of ONE 168: Denver, which broadcasts live from the Ball Arena in Denver, Colorado on Friday, September 6.

Fans in the United States and Canada can catch all the action live and absolutely free on Amazon Prime Video. Limited tickets are still available via Ticketmaster.
