The video featured the best moments of 'The Iron Man,' where he dominated 'Mini T' with vicious combinations that busted open a massive cut on his face. Rodtang also scored a knockdown during the match.
Furthermore, it displayed the savageness of the reigning ONE flyweight Muay Thai world champion as he ate the punches that the Thai-Aussie striking star was firing and seemingly shrugged it off with no issues.
Eventually, Rodtang secured the nod from the judges with a unanimous decision victory, marking his 10th win under the promotion.
Rodtang sees a close fight between Jonathan Haggerty and Superlek at ONE 168: Denver
The Jitmuangnon Gym representative is slated to defend his 26-pound golden belt against the number three-ranked contender Jacob Smith in a rematch on Nov. 8 at ONE 169: Atlanta card, which will take place at the State Farm Arena in Georgia.
But before that match, Rodtang will closely watch the ONE bantamweight Muay Thai world title fight between Jonathan Haggerty and ONE flyweight kickboxing world champion Superlek Kiatmoo9 on Sept. 6 at ONE 168: Denver, and he believes that it will be a close bout.
He revealed his thoughts about the megafight in a recent interview with ONE Championship and claimed that both fighters are evenly matched, but the first one to commit blunders will end up on the losing side:
"This match is close. Both are elite fighters and their skills are on par. It'll depend on who makes mistakes first."
