After more than a year of trying to put this fight together, ONE flyweight Muay Thai world champion ‘The Iron Man’ Rodtang Jitmuangnon and ONE flyweight kickboxing world champion ‘The Kicking Machine’ Superlek Kiatmoo9 will finally lock horns in the ONE Championship ring tomorrow night.
As such, many fans and athletes are paying close attention to this fight, including former ONE world title challenger ‘Mini T’ Danial Williams. Williams has fought both Rodtang and Superlek in ONE Championship, making his opinion all the more relevant.

“It’s a hard one, man. I think about it quite a bit, like, “Who would win?” It’s almost like who’s going to prepare [the best] and who wants it the most, and Superlek is showing that right now. He’s the man right now. He’s just destroying opponents. He was like Rodtang last year, or two years before that. And Rodtang’s being a bit of a superstar now. So yeah, it’s super hard."
