Rodtang set to face Takeru Segawa in the main event of ONE 172 on March 23
The highly anticipated super fight between Rodtang and Japanese superstar Takeru Segawa will finally happen on March 23 during the main event of ONE 172 inside the Saitama Super Arena in Japan.
ONE Championship recently booked this five-round flyweight kickboxing match to adhere to the fans' desires of seeing the two superstars throwing hands inside the ring.
Both athletes are coming off confidence-boosting wins in their previous fights, with Rodtang beating Denis Puric in their catchweight kickboxing match at ONE 167 with a unanimous decision nod from the judges.
On the other hand, 'The Natural Born Crusher' is fresh off a second-round knockout victory against Thant Zin last September at ONE Friday Fights 81 to tally his inaugural win under the promotion.
