The ONE Fight Night 6 card that took place in January 2023 inside the Impact Arena in Bangkok, Thailand, was a stacked one, featuring several ONE Championship superstars.

Among them was the reigning ONE flyweight Muay Thai world champion Rodtang Jitmuangnon, who went up against Jiduo Yibu in a catchweight kickboxing fight. The full fight replay of this highly technical match was reposted by the promotion on their YouTube channel, with the description:

Throughout the three-round fight, 'The Iron Man' marched forward and pressured 'The Eagle of Yi,' and it paid off early after he scored a knockdown in the opening round with a powerful right hook.

Also, Rodtang busted Jiduo up with a cut near his right eye, and from there, he doubled down on attacking that wound up until the final bell.

Eventually, Rodtang recorded a unanimous decision victory to collect his 13th win under the world's largest martial arts organization.
