Revisit Rodtang's first knockout win under the ONE Championship banner.
'The Iron Man' made his highly-anticipated promotional debut in September 2018. He started with three consecutive wins by decision before being matched up against Sok Thy at ONE: New Era in May 2019.
Rodtang showcased his world championship in his first three fights in ONE, but he wasn't satisfied without a knockout. The Thai superstar silenced the doubters against Thy by executing a versatile attack featuring heavy damage to the head, body, and legs. In round two, he ended the fight with vicious leg kicks.

Since then, Rodtang has become one of the greatest fighters in ONE Championship history. The 6x flyweight Muay Thai world champion holds promotional records of 12-1 in Muay Thai, 3-0 in kickboxing, and 0-1 in a historic mixed-rules bout against ONE flyweight MMA king Demetrious Johnson.
'The Iron Man' also solidified himself as a mega star in the promotion due to his fan-friendly fighting style and humble personality. Rodtang is scheduled to return later his year when ONE travels to North America.
Rodtang looks to return to Muay Thai win column in rematch against Jacob Smith
In September 2023, Rodtang suffered his first promotional Muay Thai loss in a non-title super-fight against Superlek. He bounced back with a kickboxing win against Denis Puric in June before refocusing on "The Art of Eight Limbs."
On November 8, Rodtang will defend his flyweight Muay Thai throne in the ONE 169: Atlanta co-main event. 'The Iron Man' is scheduled to face a familiar opponent in Jacob Smith, who endured a brutal unanimous decision loss against the Thai mega star in May 2022.
ONE 169 goes down inside the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia. Tickets for the upcoming event featuring four world title fights can be found on Ticketmaster.
