Rodtang and Demetrious Johnson discuss their fight

The first round of this mixed-rules contest was under Muay Thai rules and, unsurprisingly, the Muay Thai champion did well in it. In round two, the MMA great Demetrious Johnson was able to secure a takedown and earn a submission victory.

Rodtang shared his thoughts on losing this bout on Instagram after the ONE X match. He said:

"Thank you for all of the support that you guys gave me for this fight. It means so much to me. Thank you Mr.Chatree, DJ, and Fairtex .Thank you Yokkao for the support and definitely thank you to all of the fans for supporting me. I hope I will fight again and I will not give up on MMA. I feel so sad for this fight but I will practice and come back to fight even stronger."

'Mighty Mouse' Johnson shared his thoughts also, in the post-fight interview, where he explained:

"I knew it was going to be hell. No one remembers your name if you don't take risks. I knew he was the hardest hitting man in this entire division... 35-years-old, I ain't no spring chicken, but I can still fight."

Rodtang will have his next match at the ONE 157 event in the opening round of the Muay Thai Grand Prix. Johnson will likely be fighting later in 2022 for ONE Championship, but no date or opponent has yet been announced.
