Rodtang Jitmuangnon and Nong-O Hama will cross paths for the first time in their legendary careers for the vacant ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World Championship. The all-Thai slugfest will go down on the promotion's star-studded card in Japan, ONE 173, inside Tokyo's Ariake Arena on Sunday, November 16.The promotion confirmed this showdown alongside two additional massive world title matchups during the event's official press conference this past Thursday, September 11.Rodtang enters this guaranteed barnburner off arguably the most memorable triumph of his campaign in the world's largest martial arts organization. At the ONE 172 inside the sold-out Saitama Super Arena this past March, 'The Iron Man' put former three-division K-1 champion Takeru Segawa to sleep in a mere 80 seconds.Last year, however, proved to be one of the most difficult chapters of his tenure in ONE. Despite winning both his fights against tough-as-nails duo, Denis Puric and Jacob Smith, 'The Iron Man' missed weight for both battles, the latter of which forced him to be stripped of his flyweight Muay Thai throne.Throughout his time in the division, the Phatthalung native racked up 14 victories against the likes of ONE bantamweight kickboxing world champion Jonathan Haggerty, Joseph Lasiri, Walter Goncalves, and Danial Williams.Rodtang never shies away from a war, and fans can be certain he'd bring aggression, flair, knockout power, iron chin, and everything else that has made him one of Muay Thai's most adored heroes over the past decade. The Thai megastar is out to secure his prized possession at all costs, and he couldn't have wished for a more blockbuster card to regain his 26 pounds of gold.
