Fans can’t believe Rodtang Jitmuangnon ate a direct head kick from Jonathan Haggerty in 2019 and just shook it off like it was nothing.
Rodtang became a superstar when videos of the Muay Thai phenom letting his opponents hit him reached social media. A prime example of the ONE flyweight Muay Thai world champion showing off his iron chin came in 2019 when Haggerty landed a clean head kick, and ‘The Iron Man’ shrugged it off.
ONE Championship recently reposted the clip with the caption saying:

“This guy's from another planet”
“👏 I now see why they call him the Iron Man 🔥”
“The stuff legends are made off ”
“Still can't believe he didn't get knocked down by this🔥”
