"Walking into this brutality" - Rodtang's kickboxing firefight against Denis Puric still has fans buzzing for more

When ONE Championship booked the kickboxing match between Rodtang Jitmuangnon and Denis Puric, fans went into a frenzy because they knew it would be an instant classic.

The two striking maestros lived up to the expectation and put up an incredible fight in June 2024 at ONE 167, which took place inside Impact Arena in Bangkok, Thailand.

The world's largest martial arts organization published the video of the full fight replay on their YouTube channel, and the video's description read:

"ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World Champion Rodtang's all-action fighting style and technical brilliance have cemented him as a true legend of the striking arts. Before he puts his gold on the line in a heated rematch with British star Jacob Smith at ONE 169 on November 8, relive his kickboxing brawl with Denis Puric at ONE 167 in June 2024!"

The reigning ONE flyweight Muay Thai world champion and 'The Bosnian Menace' went full three rounds of action-packed match, but the damaging blows of Rodtang were enough to persuade the judges to give him the unanimous decision nod.

This fight has made the fans sing praise for both athletes, as users @pgfinna, @FROZENQUOKKA, @Moviesforever237, @keefer88, and @leigth_s commented:
