WATCH: Rodtang Jitmuangnon's high-octane kickboxing war against Bosnian menace Denis Puric in kickboxing

One thing that you can always guarantee about Rodtang Jitmuangnon is that when he makes the walk, you're in for a great fight.

The Thai superstar isn't just one of the best in the world, he's one of the most exciting fighters out there.

His trademark style is a combination of constant aggression, forward momentum, barrages of strikes and of course, taunting his opponents from time to time.

This means that ONE Championship fans knew they were in for a treat in his last outing at ONE 167 earlier this year.

He met Denis Puric at the Impact Arena in Bangkok, Thailand, and with 'The Bosnian Menace' being an opponent that wasn't going to take a backwards step, they were always going to produce a fire fight.

This is exactly what happened as the two men traded blows in a three-round kickboxing contest that may be one of the best fights of the year so far.

Puric's toughness kept him in the fight but this was undoubtedly a reminder of just how good 'The Iron Man' is once he finds his groove.

He may not have been able to get Puric out of there but it wasn't for a lack of trying.

Rodtang will look to put on another show inside the Thai capital next month

This win over Denis Puric was a big moment for Rodtang after what he had been through earlier this year with injuries.

Now that he is back and firing on all cylinders, he will look to continue this momentum into the next defense of his ONE flyweight Muay Thai world championship.

Despite ONE 169 on November 8 being moved to Lumpinee Stadium, his rematch with Jacob Smith will still go ahead as planned.

Having shared a great moment of respect with Puric after their fight, you can expect the same to be the case against Smith on his return.
