Rodtang Jitmuangnon has carried the banner for Muay Thai as the sport’s biggest star. At ONE 169: Malykhin vs. Reug Reug, he returns to defend the ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World Title against familiar opposition. “The Iron Man” meets Jacob Smith as part of a stacked lineup in Bangkok on November 8.
Having competed against Smith already at ONE 157 in 2022, Rodtang knows what makes the Brit tough inside the ring. However, that also means the ONE Championship star knows where he will hold the edge once the bell rings. According to the 27-year-old, speed will be the ultimate difference on fight night.
