Jackie Buntan says no one has a chin built to handle terror like Rodtang: "That guy doesn't get put down"

Jackie Buntan is set to compete on a huge stage next time out when she returns to Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.

The Filipino-American is no stranger to big fights under the ONE Championship banner, but ONE 169 is set to be one of the best nights of the year.

Buntan will be facing off with Anissa Meksen on Nov. 8 for the inaugural ONE women's strawweight kickboxing world championship.

That's not the only high-level matchup for fans to get excited about because this card is absolutely stacked. As a result, Buntan will share the card with multiple world champions, including Muay Thai superstar Rodtang Jitmuangnon.

'The Iron Man' is set to defend his ONE flyweight Muay Thai world championship in a rematch with Jacob Smith in the co-main event of the evening.

In a recent exclusive interview with Sportskeeda MMA, Buntan was asked a question that Rodtang was the easy and obvious answer for.

When you talk about who has the best chin in all of ONE Championship, there was only going to be one pick, and Jackie Buntan doesn't disagree:

"Yeah of course, that guy doesn't put down."

Jackie Buntan is right to pick the obvious option in Rodtang

Sometimes the obvious answer is the correct one, and that was the case for Jackie Buntan when discussing her fellow striker.

The chin of Rodtang Jitmuangnon is one of his biggest strengths because it allows him to maintain his aggressive pressure without taking a backwards step.

In turn, this has helped make him into one of the most exciting martial artists on the planet which is why he's always must-see TV.

The resilience of 'The Iron Man' will be put to the test at ONE 169 when he makes the next defense of his flyweight crown.

Earlier on in the night, Jackie Buntan will look to transfer her power from Muay Thai over into kickboxing in order to leave Bangkok with the belt.
