ONE Championship megastar Rodtang Jitmuangnon has proven himself to be a true master of the art of striking thanks to his dazzling display of power that continues to have fans watching on in amazement.

One opponent who felt the full brunt of his power was Cambodian star Sok Thy back in 2019 at ONE: Warriors of Light.

'The Iron Man' threw three lightning-quick striking sequences against the cage punctuated by leg kicks that ended up with the Kun Khmer Flyweight Champion on the mat.

This unrelenting display of power from Rodtang would soon lead up to the knockout victory in round two as Sok could no longer withstand the barrage focused on his legs.

Rodtang's star would only continue to grow from there as he captured the flyweight Muay Thai crown from Jonathan Haggerty via unanimous decision in his next bout.

He has since posted a record of 15-2 in the world's largest martial arts promotion.

Rodtang to defend flyweight Muay Thai crown against familiar foe

The Thai hero will look to have his sixth successful defense of the ONE flyweight Muay Thai world championship when he steps back inside the circle at ONE 169: Atlanta on November 8.

His opponent will be United Kingdom star Jacob Smith, whom Rodtang welcomed to ONE in May 2022 with a unanimous decision defeat during their quarterfinal clash in the ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World Grand Prix.

With an opportunity to avenge his loss, while also ending the Jitmuangnon Gym product's long reign over the flyweight Muay Thai division, fans inside the State Farm Arena can expect Smith to unleash his entire arsenal in his pursuit of 26 pounds of ONE Championship gold.

Tickets for ONE 169 are available here.
