The flyweight Muay Thai king is happy to return to Muay Thai rules following an adventurous trek into the kickboxing world earlier this year. Setting up a potential run for the flyweight kickboxing belt, Rodtang was pitted against Chinese slugger ‘The Eagle of Yi’ Jiduo Yibu in a at ONE Fight Night 6 on Prime Video.

Up to this moment of publication, no one has been able to outmatch ‘The Iron Man’ whether that’s in kickboxing or Muay Thai. However, he’s not invincible. Former WBC Muay Thai International champion Edgar Tabares believes he’s got as good a chance as any to go three rounds with the Thai superstar on U.S. ground.

ONE Fight Night 10 will go down on Friday, May 5 at the sold-out 1stBank Center in Colorado. Fans in North America can watch the blockbuster event live via Amazon Prime Video.
