WATCH: Rodtang enters the Matrix in a brilliant defensive sequence against Denis Puric at ONE 167

Rodtang Jitmuangnon earned his fight moniker as 'The Iron Man' for his ability to take solid shots from his opponents and not get rocked or knocked down by them.

But during his fight against Denis Puric, Rodtang proved that he can also evade multiple combinations, and ONE Championship recently posted the evidence on Instagram, as they wrote the video's caption with:

"Ninja-like reflexes 😮 Can Rodtang hold onto his ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World Title in the rematch against third-ranked contender Jacob Smith at ONE 169: Atlanta? @rodtang_jimungnon"

As seen in the short clip, the reigning ONE flyweight Muay Thai world champion dodged four strikes from 'The Bosnian Menace' and came back with his very own solid right-hand punch that went through his guard.

Eventually, Rodtang won unanimously over Puric in their catchweight kickboxing match in the co-main event of ONE 167 on June 7, which took place inside the sold-out Impact Arena in Bangkok, Thailand.

This was the Thai superstar's bounce-back win from his loss at the hands of ONE flyweight kickboxing world champion Superlek Kiatmoo9 in September 2023 at ONE Friday Fights 34 during their catchweight Muay Thai mega fight.

Rodtang to defend his Muay Thai crown against Jacob Smith at ONE 169: Atlanta

Now that Rodtang is back in the winner's circle, he is booked to defend his ONE flyweight Muay Thai world title against the challenge of number three-ranked contender Jacob Smith on November 8 at ONE 169: Atlanta inside the State Farm Arena.

Rodtang and Smith will go head-to-head for the second time in their careers, as the former drew first blood in their first encounter in May 2022 at ONE 157 with a unanimous decision win.

The Jitmuangnon Gym representative wants to reassert his mastery over the British striking star and extend his reign as the unquestioned king of the weight class.
