Rodtang and Mikey Musumeci look to sweep their assignments in Bangkok
Rodtang will be featured in the co-main event of the loaded ONE 167 card, as he is scheduled to meet 'The Bosnian Menace,' Denis Puric, in a flyweight kickboxing match.
On the other hand, the 27-year-old BJJ savant is going to welcome Gabriel Sousa to the promotion for their bantamweight submission grappling match. Musumeci wants to avenge his 2021 defeat at the hands of Sousa and even their head-to-head matchup.
