Rodtang Jitmuangnon plans to use wit over power in potential meeting with John Lineker: “I’d rather use my fight experience”

Reigning and undisputed ONE flyweight Muay Thai world champion 'The Iron Man' Rodtang Jitmuangnon of Thailand admits he may have to be extra careful in a potential Muay Thai showdown with former bantamweight MMA king 'Hands of Stone' John Lineker.

Lineker is now 2-0 in 'The Art of Eight Limbs' since stepping into the world of ONE Championship Muay Thai. The Brazilian veteran now owns two explosive knockout victories over 'The American Ninja' Asa Ten Pow and Alexey Balyko, which have caused fans to dream up a showdown against Rodtang.

Rodtang, for one, is open to the fight, and thinks Lineker is dangerous because of his dynamite hands.

'The Iron Man' told ONE Championship in a recent interview:

"I don’t know if I can knock him out because he’s strong. But if I have to share the ring with him, I’d rather use my fight experience than brute force."

Needless to say, a battle between Rodtang and Lineker would be almost guaranteed of fireworks and fans can't wait to see it happen.
