Rodtang Jitmuangnon: A lifetime in Muay Thai
'The Iron Man' most recently earned his 269th career victory when he defended his Muay Thai throne at ONE on Prime Video 4. At the age of 25, the Thai-born athlete has already competed in over 300 professional fights.
When he was young, he had to take up Muay Thai to take care of his family. He had his first fight at the age of eight. 'The Iron Man' would have preferred to play football, but for the child, Muay Thai had more money in it.
'The Iron Man' would explain to ONE Championship:
"I saw all the difficulties of my parents and thought to myself, I have arms and legs – I’m able to do this. It wasn’t so much of a choice, but something I needed to do."
His friends had a lot while he had little. Rodtang continued:
"I was jealous of my friends who had toys, phones, and money for treats. I wanted the same things they had. I started fighting so I could buy my own stuff. There was a gym next to my house and it looked so fun, so I went and tried it.”
Now, twenty years later, Rodtang is carving his name among all-time greats in Muay Thai.
