Five MMA fighters that we want to see fight Rodtang

#4. Rodtang vs. John Lineker (34-9)

UFC 207: Dillashaw v Lineker

This one would take some weight shuffling, but seeing as though Lineker has fought anywhere between 125 and 145-pounds, a catchweight bout is always in the realm of possibility.

Although Lineker's technical prowess is not his specialty, landing with otherworldly power sure is. Visualizing a caged Muay Thai bout between 'Hands of Stone' and Rodtang is exciting for several reasons.

First, Lineker has the power to put anyone away, and he’s proved it in the past. He’s explosive and aggressive, with a chin made of iron. 16 of his 20 professional MMA finishes have come via knockout, including his last two triumphs over top talent Troy Worthen and former bantamweight king Kevin Belingon, both of whom failed to make it out of the first round.

Additionally, Lineker has shown impressive durability, something he will need to lean on heavily should he meet Rodtang. Just remember, when it comes to John Lineker, it only takes one punch to secure a quick day at the office.

#5. Rodtang vs. Fabricio Andrade (5-2)

Fabricio 'Wonder Boy' Andrade might just be the most underrated striker on the ONE Championship roster. He's young and talented, and with that youth comes immense self-confidence.

Currently ranked fourth in the 145-lbs division, Andrade burst onto the scene in his promotional debut, going toe-to-toe with Mark Abelardo, standing and trading before eventually securing a submission victory in the second round.

At the time of the fight, Andrade had accumulated just five professional bouts compared to Abelardo’s 26, putting into perspective the Brazil-native’s ability to shine against all odds. But despite the gap in experience, Andrade took out a dangerous foe and scored an emphatic victory.

In his second ONE Championship bout, Andrade showed the world how impressive his striking is, engaging in a back-and-forth war with another veteran opponent in Shoko Sato. This time, once again, Andrade gave up a significant amount of experience, competing in his seventh fight compared to Sato’s 47th.

Needless to say, being an underdog doesn’t bother Andrade, making him the perfect darkhorse for this list. A fight against Rodtang would definitely be a must-watch.
