Rodtang teases a potential move to the heavier division after weight miss at ONE 169
The Jitmuangnon Gym representative was stripped of the ONE flyweight Muay Thai world title during the weigh-ins of the ONE 169 card after missing 0.5 pounds on the scales.
Despite this saga during fight week, Rodtang was still able to perform at his best and got the win.
During an interview with ONE Championship, the 27-year-old superstar revealed that he used to fight in the heavier weight class before deciding to compete in the 135-pound division under the promotion, as he claimed:
"Today, I have never tried to move up in weight. But in the past, I fought five rounds of Muay Thai. I used to carry 10 kilograms."
