WATCH: Rodtang switches on the afterburners in high-octane kickboxing match against Jiduo Yibu

ONE flyweight Muay Thai world champion Rodtang Jitmuangnon showcased his fearsome striking abilities during his catchweight (136.5 pounds) kickboxing bout with Chinese standout Jiduo Yibu at ONE Fight Night 6 in January 2023.

After receiving an accidental low blow from 'The Eagle of Yi', Rodtang shook it off and easily walked through Jiduo's attacks while dishing out punishment in return en route to the unanimous decision win.

Relive the highlights of their epic three-round war, which ONE shared on Instagram:

This outing still stands as one of Rodtang's most dominant performances after leaving the Shengli Fight Club fighter with a crimson mask, while he exited the circle without so much as a bruise.

Following their thrilling encounter, 'The Iron Man' successfully defended the ONE flyweight Muay Thai world championship with a one-shot knockout of Edgar Tabares in May 2023 in Denver.

With five successful defenses to his name, Rodtang will look to keep his reign going when he defends the 135-pound Muay Thai crown against United Kingdom star Jacob Smith at ONE 169: Malykhin vs. 'Reug Reug' on Nov. 8 inside the Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.

Lito Adiwang cites Rodtang's fight IQ as his biggest strength

ONE strawweight MMA competitor Lito Adiwang credited Rodtang's Terminator-like ability to process his opponents as his biggest strength.

'Thunder Kid' said as much in an exclusive interview with Sportskeeda MMA:

"His fight IQ is also something else, where he studies your moves and predicts your next one and then suddenly throws power shots at you."
