WATCH: Rodtang Jitmuangnon eats head kick from Jonathan Haggerty, fans react

Fans can’t believe Rodtang Jitmuangnon ate a direct head kick from Jonathan Haggerty in 2019 and just shook it off like it was nothing.

Rodtang became a superstar when videos of the Muay Thai phenom letting his opponents hit him reached social media. A prime example of the ONE flyweight Muay Thai world champion showing off his iron chin came in 2019 when Haggerty landed a clean head kick, and ‘The Iron Man’ shrugged it off.

ONE Championship recently reposted the clip with the caption saying:

“The Iron Man” eats kicks for breakfast 😱 Will Rodtang Jitmuangnon withstand Joseph Lasiri’s strikes at ONE on Prime Video 4? @rodtang_jimungnon #ONEonPrimeVideo4 | Fri Nov 18 at 8PM ET”

Fans flooded the comment sections with praise for Rodtang, including some saying:

“People get covid, covid gets Rodtang; people [are] afraid of darkness, darkness is afraid of Rodtang; Rodtang plays ping pong alone and wins.”

“This guy's from another planet”

“👏 I now see why they call him the Iron Man 🔥”

“The stuff legends are made off ”

“Still can't believe he didn't get knocked down by this🔥”

Rodtang’s iron chin has led to a perfect 10-0 Muay Thai record in ONE. At just 25 years old, ’The Iron Man' is already cleaning out the division with his reign of destruction. He has another opportunity to display his durability against Joseph Lasiri at ONE on Prime Video 4.

Amazon Prime Video subscribers can catch him and the rest of the talented athletes, in action live for free on Amazon’s streaming platform on November 18.
