“I have let it go” - Rodtang is over Superlek loss in 2023, wants rematch

Reigning and undisputed ONE flyweight Muay Thai world champion 'The Iron Man' Rodtang Jitmuangnon of Thailand is completely over his 2023 loss to compatriot and friend 'The Kicking Machine' Superlek Kiatmoo9.

Rodtang and Superlek battled in a catchweight Muay Thai contest at ONE Friday Fights 34 in September of 2023. 'The Iron Man' not only lost a three-round unanimous decision, but he also suffered a rare knockdown at the hands of the flyweight kickboxing king.

Speaking to Sportskeeda MMA in an exclusive interview, Rodtang closed the book on that first fight with his fellow countryman.

'The Iron Man' said:

"I don't have any more opinion for that fight. I have let it go. I know I've made everyone proud of my performances."

However, Rodtang did express interest in a second throwdown with 'The Kicking Machine' in the future.

He added:

"It's a matter of time. I've always been ready."

'The Kicking Machine' Superlek Kiatmoo9 is set to challenge two-sport king 'The General' Jonathan Haggerty for the ONE bantamweight Muay Thai world title this weekend. The two lock horns at ONE 168: Denver, which broadcasts live from the Ball Arena in Denver, Colorado on Friday, Sept. 6.

Fans in the United States and Canada can catch all the action live and absolutely free on Amazon Prime Video. Limited tickets are still available via Ticketmaster.
