The ability of reigning ONE flyweight Muay Thai world champion ‘The Iron Man’ Rodtang Jitmuangnon to take blows to the chin without even flinching is one of the reasons fans all around the world have come to admire him.
Rodtang possesses extraordinary damage resistance, and every time he has competed, he has demonstrated that he is deserving of the ‘Iron Man’ moniker.
Rodtang’s next opponent, ONE flyweight kickboxing world champion ‘The Kicking Machine’ Superlek Kiatmoo9, has issued a warning to Rodtang’s followers that they may witness their idol engage in behavior that is out of character during this bout.
In a recent interview with ONE Championship, Superlek stated that he will do everything in his power to accelerate the pace of the fight against his acclaimed opponent.
The Kicking Machine is quoted as saying:
“I read some comments on social media suggesting that Rodtang has more advantages since he is a powerful hitter and we will fight in little [4-ounce] gloves, but for me, we have a 50-50 chance to get the knockout or to get knocked out. I believe that we have a chance to get the knockout or to get knocked out. And I am still of the opinion that my blows aren’t any less powerful than his.
“On this day, fans might see me walking toward Rodtang instead, and you might see Rodtang going backward for the first time.” “On this day, fans might see Rodtang going backward for the first time.”
