The 32-year-old Bad Company / Thaifist representative told the promotion in a recent interview:

Jacob Smith confident about winning rematch with Rodtang Jitmuangnon: "I’m going to beat him this time"
32-year-old Jacob Smith says he feels very different heading into his highly anticipated rematch with 'The Iron Man' Rodtang Jitmuangnon at ONE 169: Malykhin vs. Reug Reug on Prime Video.
Smith was completely obliterated the first time he met with Rodtang in ONE Championship a few years ago. This time around, the United Kingdom man is confident of victory.
He said:
"I don’t want to go too much into detail, but I’ve taken many things from that fight and implemented it into my style now and moving forward. This is why I don’t just feel like I’m going to have more success with him this time – I feel like I’m going to beat him this time."
