Rodtang Jitmuangnon is no stranger to putting on shows inside the circle. He did so in his last ONE flyweight Muay Thai world title defense against Joseph Lasiri.
The 25-year-old superstar showcased his skills over the course of a five-round unanimous decision victory at ONE on Prime Video 4 last November. Rodtang has now successfully defended his crown four times since attaining it back in 2019.
He will look to make his fifth defense at ONE Fight Night 10 on Prime Video against Edgar Tabares this May. Before his own world title defense though, he will challenge Superlek Kiatmoo9 for the ONE flyweight kickboxing world title later this month at ONE Fight Night 8.

Rodtang Jitmuangnon open to moving up in weight, but focused on winning more world titles for now
The Muay Thai champ is hoping to move up in weight to face more challenges in the future, but he's currently fixated on becoming a multi-sport champion.
He told ONE:
"Of course, I’d love to. But only after I will have achieved my goals - a world champion in Muay Thai, kickboxing, and MMA. [Then] I will probably move to higher division."
He'll take on ONE flyweight kickboxing king Superlek Kiatmoo9 at ONE Fight Night 8 on Prime Video in March. Superlek is 8-1 inside the circle, winning the vacant flyweight kickboxing world title over Daniel Puertas in January.
Incredibly, the lone loss that 'The Iron Man' has suffered under ONE's banner came in a custom-rules bout against Demetrious Johnson. However, in striking-only competitions in the promotion, his record continues to be unblemished.
Make sure to watch ONE Fight Night 8 on March 25 to see 'The Iron Man' look to become a multi-sport champion by challenging flyweight kickboxing king Superlek, live from the Singapore Indoor Stadium.
All of the action will be broadcast live and for free to Amazon Prime subscribers across North America.
