Rodtang wants to be a role model for his future children

‘The Iron Man’ Rodtang Jitmuangnon hopes to set a good example for his children.

At just 25 years old, Rodtang has already established himself as a bonafide Muay Thai legend, having secured 270 career victories and a ONE world title around his waist. Now, with a beautiful blushing bride and aspirations of becoming a father, ‘The Iron Man’ has even bigger goals in mind for his future:

“I want to have kids and enjoy a couple’s life... And if I can, I will have my own gym for our next generation of fighters. Of course, since I have a family now, I must have more determination. And I have an explicit goal to be a role model for my children. I want them to see dad as their idol.”

‘The Iron Man’ will return to the circle on May 5 when ONE Championship heads to the 1stBank Center in Colorado for ONE Fight Night 10 on Prime Video. The event will serve as the promotion’s long-awaited U.S. debut and features some of the biggest names in all of combat sports.

Rodtang will defend his ONE flyweight Muay Thai world championship against Mexico’s Edgar Tabares who will be making his promotional debut in the co-main event clash.

Rodtang Jitmuangnon will help introduce Muay Thai to North American fans on May 5

Combat sports fans may be familiar with the sport of Muay Thai. Unfortunately, far too many Canadians and Americans have been deprived of ways to witness the art of eight limbs firsthand. ONE Championship will change that on May 5 when they deliver two can’t-miss Muay Thai matchups at ONE Fight Night 10.

Kicking things off will be American Jackie Buntan taking on Australia’s Diandra Martin in a Muay Thai clash. Seeking her 25th career victory, Buntan is determined to work her way back to a title opportunity against reigning ONE strawweight Muay Thai titleholder Smilla Sundell. She will first need to get through Martin, who will be looking to score her second-straight victory inside the circle.

In the co-main event of the evening, Thai striking sensation Rodtang will defend his ONE world title against Edgar Tabares, Mexico’s first WBC Muay Thai international champion.

Rodtang will the bout with an undefeated record of 11-0 in Muay Thai competition under the ONE Championship banner. In November, ‘The Iron Man’ delivered a 15-minute masterclass against reigning ONE strawweight Muay Thai titleholder Joseph ‘The Hurricane’ Lasiri.

Amazon Prime Video subscribers in North America can catch ONE Fight Night 10 live and for free in U.S. primetime on May 5.
