Rodtang and Haggerty sit side-by-side as they watch 'The Iron Man's' most savage moments inside the ONE Circle.

Briefly after watching the clip, a rather puzzled Jonathan Haggerty immediately questioned his former tormentor:

"How do you stay standing after them shots? He just shakes them off, which is demoralizing."

Rodtang responded:

"I don't feel anything."

The 49-second clip features bits from his ONE flyweight Muay Thai world title battles against Haggerty, English slugger Jacob Smith, Italian-Moroccan ace Joseph Lasiri, and Azerbaijan-Russian fighter Tagir Khalilov.

Apart from his insane ability to withstand fully powered missiles from that list of world-class athletes, 'The Iron Man' displays signature taunting, showmanship, and occasionally hilarious moments inside the Circle.

The Knowlesy Academy and Team Underground affiliate told the South China Morning Post previously:

"I would prefer to fight him in Muay Thai just so I can throw some elbows. I mean, he’s a Muay Thai fighter, I’m a Muay Thai fighter, so Muay Thai would be better for me. But we’ll see."

Is this a fight that the ONE matchmakers should lock in for 2025? Stay up to date on the latest ONE Championship news on Sportskeeda MMA.
