As the current ONE flyweight Muay Thai world champion, Rodtang Jitmuangnon has put together an impressive run. But his impressive run of victories isn’t the only thing that’s contributed to his meteoric rise to fame.
The fighting technique of “The Iron Man,” also known simply as “Iron Man,” is legendary, and it makes every match in which he competes a spectacle that spectators can’t miss.
When you check in to watch the world champion, you know that you are going to get some excellent striker that can taunt his opponents and has a lot of aggression, pressure, and the ability to put a lot of pressure on them.
His bulldozer approach has allowed him to totally plow through several opponents while competing under the ONE Championship banner, and he claims that he has no plans to change it in the foreseeable future.
At ONE Friday Fights 34, he will once again try to wear down his opponent; however, this time around, he will face an opponent who possesses the ability to play that game with him.
Superlek Kiatmoo9 is a fellow great striker, making this Friday’s main event an ideal match-up for ONE fans.
Rodtang discussed his unique fighting technique and the reasoning behind why he teases his opponents into standing and trading with him during an interview with Antoine Pinto. It is common knowledge that standing and trading with ‘The Iron Man’ is a poor strategy, so Rodtang explained why he does it.
Rodtang declared, “We come to fight, not to run,” indicating the reason for their presence. “If I have to fight by myself, I’ll be exhausted, not from getting my breath knocked out from punching but from walking.” I want it to be a fair fight between me and my opponent. Whether you win or you lose. That’s an athletic endeavor.
Watch the complete interview below:
One of the most intriguing bouts of the year is going to take place on September 22 at the legendary Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand. This fight will feature two boxing techniques that are diametrically opposed to one another.
This coming Friday, September 22, ONE Friday Fights 34 will stream live and for free on the YouTube channel of ONE Championship.
