Styles make fights, and judging by how these two operate, we might witness an absolute barnburner in this exhilarating five-round kickboxing war.
Rodtang, who may just be the most popular Muay Thai athlete of this generation, is always down for a good scrap. The former flyweight Muay Thai world champion even purposely enters the line of fire with his chin wide open just for the hell of it.
The fearless Takeru, on the other hand, has already proven his mettle in the home of martial arts and will gladly give the Thai wrecking ball the brawl that he seeks.
