“King of Muay Thai only” - Fans sing their praise for the horrifying power of Rodtang against Jacob Smith

ONE flyweight Muay Thai world champion, Rodtang, has racked up an impressive record of 14 wins and one loss under the world’s largest martial arts organization. His lone defeat was courtesy of Demetrious Johnson in a special mixed-rules super-fight.

‘The Iron Man’s’ combined record in Muay Thai and kickboxing is still immaculate, which made him not only the undisputed Muay Thai king of the flyweight division but also a fan favorite. Rodtang’s exciting style of relentless attack, constant pressure, and overall technical skills in the striking game are always showcased by the Thai combat sports superstar.

Despite only having two knockout finishes in his pile of wins, which are mostly decisions, the 26-year-old’s power is sometimes questioned by fans. But in a recent video that ONE Championship posted, everyone was reminded of Rodtang’s might.

The said video was a snippet of Rodtang's fight against Jacob Smith in their Flyweight Muay Thai World Grand Prix Quarter Final bout in May 2022 at ONE 157.
