"Naughty work" - Relive Rodtang's earth-shattering elbow finish of Edgar Tabares that sent American fans into a frenzy

American fans witnessed live one of the best performances of Rodtang Jitmuangnon's career in the historic ONE Fight Night 10 blockbuster last year.

The undisputed flyweight Muay Thai world champion certainly got the whole world buzzing when he brutally knocked out Edgar Tabares in the promotion's first-ever event on U.S. soil.

The world's largest martial arts organization reshared the clip of 'The Iron Man's epic finishing sequence on Instagram. In the caption, they wrote:

"SHARP elbow. Will Rodtang successfully defend his ONE Flyweight tMuay Thai World Title against third-ranked contender Jacob Smith in their rematch at ONE 169: Atlanta?"

Tabares, of course, was quite trigger-happy with his spinning elbow attacks early in the fight.n

The cerebral Rodtang made him pay big time once he figured out the timing and countered with his own powerful elbow strike that landed flush on the chin.

Meanwhile, fans were quick to flood the post's comment section, sharing how mesmerizing Rodtang's brilliance was:

"A true master in his art."

"So calm. Spookiest part. lol"

"Straight out of the textbook"

"Naughty work. Rodtang shut him down the entire fight."

ONE Championship is slated for a U.S. return with two blockbuster shows in the second half of 2024. First up is ONE 168: Denver at the Ball Arena on September 6.

ONE 169: Atlanta, on the other hand, will feature Rodtang's flyweight Muay Thai world title defense against Jacob Smith on November 8 at the State Farm Arena.

Tickets for ONE 168: Denver and ONE 169: Atlanta are available via Ticketmaster.

Rodtang leads stacked ONE 169 mega event

A total of four world titles will be up for grabs in ONE's debut event in Atlanta, Georgia.

Apart from Rodtang's title defense, a titanic clash between behemoths Anatoly Malykhin and 'Reug Reug' Oumar Kane will determine the rightful owner of the heavyweight MMA world title.

Christian Lee will also return to put his lightweight MMA crown on the line against Alibeg Rasulov.

The trilogy between Tawanchai PK Saenchai and 'Smokin' Jo Nattawut for the featherweight Muay Thai gold is also slated to go down.
