"Like fighting a brick wall" - Fans can't get enough of Rodtang Jitmuangnon's total domination of Fahdi Khaled
Reigning ONE flyweight Muay Thai world champion Rodtang Jitmuangnon has been a savage fighter ever since his early days in ONE Championship.
A recent Instagram post by the world's largest martial arts organization confirmed this. The post highlighted the best moments of Rodtang's bout against Fahdi Khaled at ONE: Hero's Ascent, which took place inside the Mall of Asia Arena in Manila, Philippines.
They captioned the video with:
""The Iron Man" UNLEASHED 🥶 Can Jacob Smith survive Rodtang at ONE 169? @rodtang_jimungnon"
In the video, 'The Iron Man' was seen screaming, taunting, and dominating the Tunisian athlete. At one point during the match, Rodtang even scored a knockdown against Khaled.
Eventually, the Thai superstar secured the lopsided unanimous decision victory to record his second win in the promotion.
This display of superiority by Rodtang has made fans tip their hats off to him, as users @combatant_gentleman, @kevinrestrepost, @aiday_akunova, @erick_tatt001, and @luxspecialist praised him through their comments:
"Like fighting a brick wall 🧱"
"@rodtang_jimungnon you rock 🤌🔥🔥🔥🔥"
"Coolness, endurance, respect for opponents - this is @rodtang_jimungnon Coolness, endurance, respect for opponents - this is @rodtang_jimungnon 🙌🤍🔥"
"The boy is good, but Rodtang is from another planet."
"Rodtang really gassed him out though...... Like rodtang has 3 lungs and that dude has 1.5"
Rodtang's upcoming opponent says that his fight with Denis Puric was poor
On Nov. 8, the Jitmuangnon Gym representative will defend his 26-pound golden belt against the challenge of Jacob Smith at ONE 169, at the legendary Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.
Ahead of their second meeting, the British superstar has assessed Rodtang's previous outing against Denis Puric during his interview with Violent Money TV.
In Smith's eyes, he thought that the fight was underwhelming, but he is confident that the defending world champion will bring his A-game in their upcoming scrap. He said:
"I thought it was poor. I thought it was poor for both of them, to be honest. But having said that, I know Rodtang isn't going to fight me like that."
North American viewers with an active Prime Video subscription can watch all the action at ONE 169 on Nov. 8, which airs live from the Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.
