Japan's own Takeru Segawa and Thailand's Rodtang Jitmuangnon are indeed two of the most popular and electrifying strikers on the planet today.

The pair have been on a collision course for quite some time now, and this dream match will finally become a reality. It's only fitting that this epic five-round flyweight kickboxing war will headline arguably the most stacked martial arts event of the year.

While all eyes will be on the main event, fans will also be treated with an astonishing five scheduled world title bouts. The penultimate match will feature featherweight Muay Thai kingpin Tawanchai PK Saenchai's bid for two-sport supremacy as he faces hometown bet Masaaki Noiri for the interim featherweight kickboxing world title.

An undisputed champion will be crowned when bantamweight Muay Thai titleholder Superlek Kiatmoo9 faces interim champ Nabil Anane in a guaranteed slugfest in this unification battle.

Familiar foes will also run it back when Adriano Moraes and Yuya Wakamatsu lock horns anew for the vacant flyweight MMA world championship. It's old-school versus new gen when the legendary Sam-A Gaiyanghadao will exchange heavy leather with Jonathan Di Bella for the interim strawweight kickboxing world title.

And, of course, we also have Phetjeeja Lukjaoporongtom defending her atomweight kickboxing world championship against Kana Morimoto.

The amount of elite talent available at ONE 172: Takeru vs Rodtang is truly breathtaking, and a historic event like this is worth the price of admission.
