Rodtang: "Rodtang is just a beast" - Fans marvel at Rodtang Jitmuangnon's display of power and class in complete beatdown of Jiduo Yibu

Thai superstar Rodtang Jitmuangnon is best known for his Muay Thai exploits, though he has also proven that his punching power carries well even when he competes in eight-ounce boxing gloves.

'The Iron Man' competed in his second kickboxing bout under the ONE banner in January 2023 when he fought Jiduo Yibu at ONE Fight Night 6. Though 'The Eagle of Yi' is a highly technical striker, Rodtang fearlessly walked him down throughout their three-round firefight to earn the unanimous decision victory.
