Reigning ONE flyweight Muay Thai world champion Rodtang Jitmuangnon is no stranger to massive fights, as he was already pitted against some of the best fighters in the world.
In November 2022, Rodtang was challenged by former ONE strawweight Muay Thai world champion Joseph Lasiri in a champion-versus-champion match in the co-main event of ONE on Prime Video 4, which took place at the Singapore Indoor Stadium.
The full fight replay of this champion-versus-champion showdown was reposted by ONE Championship on YouTube with the description:

The constant pressure and blitzing attacks from 'The Iron Man' were too much for 'The Hurricane' to handle, as the Thai megastar scored two knockdowns against Lasiri in the fourth and fifth rounds to secure the lopsided unanimous decision victory.
This masterful performance from Rodtang has received massive praise from fans, as users @peterelliott7333, @itsdannyftw, @Geir-rl8mp, and @learnkeys357 showered him with positive messages through their comments:
"Rodtang should be in the next Mortal Kombat movie"
"I remember watching this thinking Lasiri lasted longer than I expected - Rodtang dominated this."
"Rodtag is a freaking little beast, only 27 years old and he have already did 325 fights totally. His first pro. fight started when he was 15 years old....that's sick!"
"Rodtang got bricks for firsts"
