Rodtang Jitmuangnon successfully passed his weigh-ins this week perhaps with a little help from Mikey Musumeci.
The Thai superstar has been down on his luck lately when it comes to taking weight before matches. He’s been putting himself through the wringer to make the 135 lbs limit, and making it below or exactly that weight is already a taxing enough job.
So this Thursday, it looks like the curse has been lifted, as he was over the moon to hear he passed both hydration and weight simultaneously ahead of his anticipated return at ONE Fight Night 10.
