While he has been nearly unstoppable in his ONE Championship journey to date, Thai superstar Rodtang Jitmuangnon is far from considered unbeatable. Instead, it’s more about working and giving it her all every time she competes.
Such a mindset has taken ‘The Iron Man’ to great heights in five years with the promotion, which has seen him win 13 of his 14 fights thus far, become world champion in August 2019, successfully defend his title four times. and grow. into a true world champion of the sport of Muay Thai.
Speaking to ONE Championship in an interview, Rodtang shared that the success he has been enjoying is a product of making a conscious effort to be the best he can be at what he does:
“I don’t see myself as an unbeatable superstar. You are welcome. I just want to put my all into the fight and do my best to show who I am. That’s all.”
Rodtang’s best will be tested once again on May 5 when he defends the ONE Muay Thai Flyweight World Title for the fifth time at ONE Fight Night 10 on Prime Video in the United States.
The celebrated Thai striker will face Mexican challenger Edgar Tabares in the co-main event of the promotion’s first live event in the United States, which will take place at the 1stBank Center in Colorado.
