ONE Championship has released the full fight between Rodtang Jitmuangnon and Joseph Lasiri on their YouTube channel for all fans to enjoy.
ONE on Prime Video 4 saw some of the world’s toughest combat sports athletes take center stage for ultimate glory on Friday, November 21.
Arguably, one of the most entertaining bouts was between Muay Thai sensation Rodtang Jitmuangnon and Italian-Moroccan underdog Joseph Lasiri.
As many fans predicted, Rodtang literally wiped the floor with Lasiri as he manhandled him with stinging combinations from inside the pocket. Lasiri did well in terms of countering the strikes, but it seemed to have no effect on the Muay Thai legend's granite chin.

By mid-fight, the current ONE strawweight world champion felt like he had no other option but to evade and survive the storm.
Bored and unamused, Rodtang did everything in his power to engage Lasiri into a brawl, but the challenger looked completely out of his element. Rodtang also poked fun at Lasiri's lackluster performance inside the circle.

Rodtang Jitmuangnon rates Joseph Lasiri’s running skills a stunning 10/10
It goes without saying that many, including his rival Rodtang Jitmuangnon, were disappointed by Joseph Lasiri’s performance at ONE on Prime Video 4.
The Italian-Moroccan striker had the perfect underdog story ahead of his matchup with Rodtang, valiantly fighting his way back to ONE Championship glory this year against Prajanchai PK. Saenchai at ONE 157 for the ONE Muay Thai strawweight world title.
He seemed confident, poised, and ready to take on the biggest Muay Thai star of this generation. It was his moment to shine, but it seemed like he threw in the towel too soon. To everyone’s disappointment, Lasiri failed to bring out the best version of himself that night.
Taking questions at the post-fight interview, Rodtang was asked to rate Joseph Lasiri’s fighting skills out of 10, and he wasn't exactly generous towards his opponent:
“Well, his running skills I give him 10, his talking skills I give him 10, but his fighting skills maybe lost in some points.”
