Reigning and undisputed ONE flyweight Muay Thai world champion 'The Iron Man' Rodtang Jitmuangnon of Thailand is known for his incredible ability to take punishment and hardly flinch in the face of danger.
This gives him an aura of invincibility that not many fighters have. And while he's an offensive force, Rodtang's defense flies way under the radar and is often underappreciated.
ONE Championship recently posted a showcase of Rodtang's amazing fight sequences in carousel format on Instagram.

The post reads with the caption:
"How many aura points would you give Rodtang? 🤔 Don't miss "The Iron Man's" return to action on November 8 at ONE 169: Atlanta! 💥 @rodtang_jimungnon"
There is no doubt that Rodtang is one of the most exciting fighters in the world today, and he will get the chance to showcase his skills again later this year. 'The Iron Man' Rodtang Jitmuangnon is set to defend his flyweight Muay Thai gold against former adversary Jacob Smith of the United Kingdom.
The two lock horns at ONE 169: Atlanta, which broadcasts live from the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia on Friday, Nov. 8.
Fans in the United States and Canada can catch all the action live on Amazon Prime Video. Those who want to watch in-stadium can get tickets on Ticketmaster.
Jacob Smith was surprised with just how good Rodtang really was: "If I'm being brutally honest"
'The Iron Man' Rodtang Jitmuangnon's upcoming opponent at ONE 169: Atlanta, Jacob Smith, recently admitted he never expected the Thai superstar to be so good.
Unfortunately for the Englishman, he found out the hard way as Rodtang came in every bit as advertised in their May 2022 showdown.
Smith told Sportskeeda MMA in an exclusive interview:
"If I'm being brutally honest with you mate, I didn't expect Rodtang to be so good."
