Superlek details why he’s a better fighter than Rodtang

At ONE Fight Night 8 on Prime Video, ONE flyweight kickboxing world champion Superlek Kiatmoo9 will look to defend his world title for the very first time against a feared opponent.

Reigning ONE flyweight Muay Thai world champ Rodtang Jitmuangnon will attempt to become a two-sport world champion at the Singapore Indoor Stadium on March 24.

Superlek was originally scheduled to face Ilias Ennahachi for the world championship at ONE Fight Night 6. However, the world title was vacated by Ennahachi after he declared that he would be unable to make the weight limit.

Instead, the vacant world championship was put on the line between ‘The Kicking Machine’ and Spain’s Daniel Puertas,who was originally scheduled to face Rodtang on that same night.

With both Superlek and Rodtang winning their respective bouts on the night, it was clear that the two Thai superstars would meet down the line and the fight is nearly upon us already.

In an interview with ONE Championship, the defending world champion spoke about where he believes he has the advantage in this fight:

“I believe my kicks are better than his in kickboxing. First, I’m a little taller than him. Second, I think my leg movement is better than his in terms of speed.”

ONE Fight Night 8 will be available live and for free to all Prime Video subscribers in North America.
