The fight began at a blistering pace, with both men trading heavy blows in the opening round. Amid the chaos, Rodtang landed a precise upward elbow, leaving Superlek with a cut on his forehead.

Rising to the challenge in round two, ‘The Kicking Machine’ surged forward, unloading powerful combinations that forced Rodtang onto the defensive. In a pivotal moment, Superlek cornered ‘The Iron Man’ and unleashed a barrage of strikes, scoring a knockdown that shifted the momentum in his favor.

The final round saw the two warriors emptying their arsenals, delivering a frenetic back-and-forth exchange that had the crowd roaring. In the end, Superlek emerged victorious with a unanimous decision on the judges' scorecards.

Before becoming the ONE women’s atomweight MMA world champion, meanwhile,Stamp Fairtex faced a formidable test against Anna ‘Supergirl’ Jaroonsak in a short-notice strawweight kickboxing bout at ONE Fight Night 6 in January 2023.

Despite having less than 24 hours to prepare, both fighters delivered a high-octane contest. Trading their best shots across three rounds, Stamp narrowly edged out her compatriot with a razor-thin split decision.

In October 2023, Tawanchai took on a stern challenge in ‘Smokin’ Jo Nattawut in their featherweight kickboxing bout at ONE Fight Night 15.

Although Nattawut stepped in as a last-minute replacement, he put on a valiant display, pushing Tawanchai to dig deep.

Ultimately, Tawanchai's relentless aggression and tactical precision carried him to a unanimous decision victory.
