Former undisputed ONE flyweight Muay Thai world champion Rodtang Jitmunangnon is not only a savage fighter inside the ring, but also has a big heart for fans.

This was displayed in a recent video that ONE Championship posted on Instagram, which they wrote the video's caption with:

"Nothing but love for the fans ❤️ @rodtang_jimungnon"

In the video, 'The Iron Man' was seen taking photos with fans outside of the Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, following his clinical performance against number three-ranked divisional contender Jacob Smith, which gave him a unanimous decision victory.

Their championship bout was the co-main event of ONE 169, which went down last Friday evening. Rodtang was all smiles and in good vibes during his interaction and photo-oop with fans.

That victory over the British star was his second against him after winning their first meeting in May 2022 at ONE 157. Furthermore, it was his 16th triumph under the world's largest martial arts organization since his promotional debut in September 2018.


Rodtang willing to fight anyone that ONE Championship pits him inside the ring, including John Lineker

Former ONE bantamweight MMA world champion John Lineker has found success in the striking arts, especially in Muay Thai, where he now holds a perfect record of 2-0 with a 100% finish rate.

This opened up an opportunity for 'The Hands of Stone' to potentially face Rodtang in a super fight. Asked by the media during the post-fight interview at ONE 169, the Jitmuangnon Gym representative said that he won't be backing down the challenge against him.

However, he has one condition if the promotion decides to book them in a fight, as he stated:

"I have no problem facing him, or anyone. I'd prefer to fight him at flyweight or catchweight 140."
