ONE strawweight Muay Thai world champion Joseph Lasiri lost to flyweight Muay Thai king Rodtang Jitmuangnon last weekend. However, he got himself a win over 'The Iron Man' in an arm wrestling contest backstage.
After their epic bout in the co-main event of ONE on Prime Video 4, the two were seen in the dressing room backstage, gleefully engaging in an arm wrestling contest.
Though 'The Hurricane' wasn't able to make a dent on 'The Iron Man' in their Muay Thai world title bout, it seems that he was able to handily beat him at arm wrestling.
The contest was done mostly in jest and was a friendly gesture between the two world-class fighters. It was a refreshing, wholesome moment that showed how much respect and love they have for one another.

Here's a video of the wholesome encounter:
Rodtang Jitmuangnon batters Joseph Lasiri across five rounds at ONE on Prime Video 4
ONE's flyweight Muay Thai world champion and quite possibly the most popular fighter in the sport today, Rodtang Jitmuangnon, successfully defended his throne against Joseph Lasiri.
'The Iron Man' demolished the strawweight world champion's plans to become a two-division world champion.
The story of the entire bout was vintage Rodtang Jitmuangnon. The Thai walked 'The Hurricane' down like an unstoppable train for five rounds. Lasiri was able to land a few good combinations, but all they did was anger Rodtang more as he goaded the strawweight Muay Thai king to hit him harder.
Jitmuangnon was able to drop Lasiri twice and was the constant aggressor throughout the bout.
With the win, Rodtang improved to 11-0 in ONE Muay Thai competition and achieved his 269th win as a pro. It's quite unbelievable that 'The Iron Man' is just 25 years old.
After defending his throne against a fellow world champion, Rodtang might have another tough task ahead of him. He will probably be defending his belt against the winner of the ONE flyweight Muay Thai world Grand Prix tournament.
The Grand Prix finals match will take place on December 3 between Superlek Kiatmoo9 and Rodtang's teammate, Panpayak Jitmuangnon. Whoever wins the finals, we're sure it will be a barnburner once he squares off with 'The Iron Man.'
