Rodtang Jitmuangnon is one of the biggest stars in ONE Championship, and there is nothing that can bring his name down. His extraordinary success as the best pound-for-pound striker in the world has made him one of the most popular MMA athletes after Muay Thai legends Saenchai and Buakaw.
ONE Championship celebrated Rodtang
Thanks to the preparations for his next big match, every enthusiast is anticipating his return in large numbers. ONE Championship celebrated Rodtang Jitmuangnon’s toughness and brutality inside the circle this week by posting a throwback clip of his fight with reigning strawweight champion Joseph Lasiri. They wrote in the caption, “Fire and flair. Will Rodtang change his style when he defends his flyweight Muay Thai strap against Superlaak at ONE Friday Fights 34? @rodtang_jimungnon.”
Fans spammed the comments with praises
MMA fans immediately showered their comments on the post, and one of the fans wrote that Rod Tang is a Baki character, while the others wrote that he is a monster and beast inside the ring. The “Iron Man” has wowed the fans with his dynamic fighting style since his debut in the ONE Championship. But apart from being a good entertainer, he has also strengthened as an elite striker.
Jitmuangnon will fight Superlek soon
Rodtang’s best performances so far have been against top-tier athletes in the division, such as Jonathan Haggerty and Walter Goncalves. Instead of running with punches and a quick pace as in the past, he forced his opponents to work hard with skillful combinations and excellent footwork. The match between him and Superlek Kiatmoo9 can be another big headliner, which will take place on September 22 at ONE Friday Flights 34.
The 26-year-old Rodtang became the ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World Champion in 2019 after defeating Haggerty via unanimous decision. He had an amazing title run until now and defended the championship against many fighters. Now we will see him defend his title again against Superlek.
