Rodtang hoping to win multiple world titles before starting a family
The Muay Thai star won't be content with just being a two-sport champion. No, he's aiming to become a three-sport world title holder: Muay Thai, kickboxing, and MMA. Rodtang told the promotion:
“My goal is still the same. I’d like to make a run at MMA and kickboxing gold. I want to develop myself into a better athlete and try out different sports. And I’d like to start a family of my own soon. I want to find a special someone to live with and settle down with.”
'The Iron Man' owns notable victories inside the Circle over the likes of Jonathan Haggerty, Petchdam Petchyindee, Danial Williams, and Joseph Lasiri, amongst others.
His lone defeat under ONE's banner came in a mixed-rules superfight against the great Demetrious Johnson. The striking sensation boasts four successful flyweight Muay Thai world title defenses while undefeated in striking competitions in ONE Championship.
Be sure to tune in to ONE Fight Night 8 on March 25 to watch Rodtang challenge Superlek for the flyweight kickboxing crown, live from the Singapore Indoor Stadium.
All of the action will be broadcast live and for free to Amazon Prime subscribers across North America.
