Former ONE flyweight Muay Thai world champion 'The Iron Man' Rodtang Jitmuangnon of Thailand may have lost his 26-pound golden belt on the scales at ONE 169: Malykhin vs. Reug Reug on Prime Video, but the brash 27-year-old is looking to hit the buffet harder than he ever hit Jacob Smith.
Rodtang took care of business against his English rival, defeating Smith via unanimous decision after five solid rounds of action in their co-main event showdown a couple of weeks ago. After the fight, 'The Iron Man' couldn't wait to leave Lumpinee Stadium and go on a binge-eating spree with his family.
Addressing the media at the official ONE 169: Malykhin vs. Reug Reug on Prime Video post-event press conference, Rodtang shared exactly what was on his mind after another epic performance.

The Jitmuangnon Gym representative said:
"Yes, after this fight, I want to take my family out for a vacation, and I will eat everything in sight."
Rodtang missed weight by half a pound, weighing in at 135.50, just a little above the flyweight Muay Thai limit. As a result, he was stripped of the ONE flyweight Muay Thai world title, and only Smith was eligible to win the strap.
ONE 169: Malykhin vs. Reug Reug on Prime Video took place live at the historic Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand last Saturday, Nov. 9. Fans in the United States and Canada can catch all the action via replay on-demand with an active Amazon Prime Video subscription.
