Lito Adiwang foresees only victory for Rodtang Jitmuangnon when he defends his ONE flyweight Muay Thai world title at ONE 169.
'The Iron Man' returns to the ring at the Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Thailand, to rematch long-time foe Jacob Smith at ONE 169: Malykhin vs. 'Reug Reug' on Nov. 8.
Their anticipated brawl will be one of the biggest highlights on the ONE card, since their first encounter took place in Singapore at the ONE flyweight Muay Thai Grand Prix quarterfinals in 2022.
If their show will be anything like their first fight, MMA superstar Lito Adiwang wants front row seats. However, this time, he believes Rodtang is capable of sealing the deal with a signature highlight-reel finish.
