Fresh off his lopsided decision victory over strawweight titleholder Joseph Lasiri at ONE on Prime Video 4, ‘The Iron Man’ will make a quick turnaround to compete in his home country. Rodtang will temporarily trade his 4-ounce gloves for 16-ounce ones as he competes in a kickboxing bout for the second time in his ONE Championship career.
Meeting Rodtang inside the circle will be two-time ISKA kickboxing world champion Daniel Puertas. The Spanish native enters the bout 1-1 under the ONE Championship banner and is 32-8 overall. Puerta’s last appearance inside the circle came against Jiduo Yibu. Puertas scored a split-decision victory, earning his first win in ONE.
