The former WBC Muay Thai international champion handled his loss gracefully after falling short to Rodtang via technical knockout inside the 1stBank Center in Colorado.

ONE Championship highlighted their sportsmanship on Instagram with the caption that said:

“Respect above all ❤️ @rodtang_jimungnon @edgarjuareztabares_mt.”

Rodang’s performance was electric from start to finish. His ability to read opponents at a high level while executing a game plan spoke volumes that night. Tabares, to his credit, was fearless but he was no match for the striking machine.

He was outworked inside the cage from all angles until he received the final blow, a vicious elbow, in the second round that ended the fight.
