WATCH: Flyweight Muay Thai king Rodtang Jitmuangnon shatters Sok Thy's left leg in terrifying fashion
Current ONE flyweight Muay Thai world champion Rodtang Jitmuangnon is not only known for his lethal punches and elbows but also for his brutal leg kicks.
This was experienced by Sok Thy during their flyweight Muay Thai bout in May 2019 at ONE: Warriors of Light card, which took place inside the Impact Arena in Bangkok, Thailand.
ONE Championship recently relived Rodtang's best moments during the fight in an Instagram video, captioned:
""The Iron Man" UNLEASHED 😤 Will Rodtang finish Jacob Smith when they throw down for the ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World Title at ONE 169? @rodtang_jimungnon"
In the video, the Cambodian athlete winced in pain at every leg kick that 'The Iron Man' landed during the match. Rodtang even scored a knockdown against Sok Thy with leg kicks.
There is only so much that a man can take with that kind of punishment from the Thai superstar, and the Paedminburi Gym representative finally crumbled in the second round of the match to award the knockout win for Rodtang.
This was Rodtang's fourth-straight victory under the world's largest martial arts organization since making his promotional debut in September 2018.
Rodtang's next opponent, Jacob Smith, claims that winning the belt against him would be life-changing
The Jitmuangnon Gym-affiliated athlete is now gearing up for his next fight on Nov. 8, where he takes on Jacob Smith in a championship rematch in the co-main event of ONE 169 inside the iconic Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.
Ahead of that exciting second meeting, the British challenger spoke to Sportskeeda MMA and envisioned the feeling that he would get if he capitalized on the golden opportunity, as he said:
"To win the ONE world championship, it'll be something that I can't put into words, like what that would mean to me. It would be life-changing. Yeah, it'll certainly be life-changing."
