ONE flyweight Muay Thai world champion Rodtang Jitmuangnon is coming off his first Muay Thai defeat in the promotion. He lost via unanimous decision to Superlek Kiatmoo9 in the main event of ONE Friday Fights 34 on September 22, 2023, inside the iconic Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand. However, he is still considered one of the best pound-for-pound strikers in the world.

‘The Iron Man’ is now back in training and preparing for a bounceback performance in his return to action next year. ONE Championship recently posted an update about him on Instagram, where he was seen doing pad work inside the gym.

They captioned the post with:

“Fast and furious ⚡ What’s next for the ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World Champion? 🥊 @rodtang_jimungnon #ONEChampionship #MuayThai #MartialArts
