WATCH: Rodtang brutalizes Fahdi Khaled in savage beatdown

Muay Thai phenom Rodtang Jitmuangnon was only 21 years old when he brutalized Fahdi Khaled in the ONE circle. 'The Iron Man' was well known to Muay Thai fans but was just building his name among international combat sports fans.

In 2019, he battered Fahdi Khaled en route to a unanimous decision victory. ONE Championship has uploaded the full fight on its YouTube channel, with the description:

"Ahead of ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World Champion Rodtang Jitmuangnon’s highly anticipated return to kickboxing action against Spanish sensation Daniel Puertas on January 13, relive his next-level striking display against Tunisian star Fahdi Khaled in 2019!"

Catch the full fight below:

In round one, the Thai athlete pressured his Tunisian opponent and pushed him back to the cage. From there, he landed a punch and knee combination to drop his opponent early. Rodtang could smell blood and kept up the heavy pressure, dumping his opponent multiple times. He yelled, flexed, and threw punches with ill intent.

In the second round, Khaled was unable to stop the onslaught from 'The Iron Man'. He continued to press forward and landed hard punches in combination. With the crowd screaming, the then-future Muay Thai superstar beckoned his opponent to face him. Rodtang dominated the round with kicks, knees, elbows, and punches.

In the third and final frame, 'The Iron Man' came out much more aggressive, forcing his opponent to engage. Khaled could not handle the relentless pressure as the Thai athlete put together brutal combinations. In the end, the Thai star was awarded the unanimous decision victory.

When is Rodtang Jitmuangnon's next fight?

Since defeating Fahdi Khaled in 2019, 'The Iron Man' has gone on to achieve massive success in the ONE circle. To this day, he is still undefeated in the promotion. He's also captured the ONE flyweight Muay Thai world championship and has defended this throne in four exciting bouts.

The Muay Thai king will be jumping to kickboxing next in pursuit of a new challenge. On January 13 at ONE on Prime Video 6, Rodtang will face Spain's Daniel Puertas in a kickboxing battle.

While speaking to ONE in an interview, 'The Iron Man' explained that he wants to earn gold in as many sports as possible. In 2023, he wants to secure his place on a kickboxing throne before winning a world title in MMA next year.

The Muay Thai superstar said:

"Of course, I’d love to [move up in weight]. But only after I will have achieved my goals - a world champion in Muay Thai, kickboxing, and MMA. [Then] I will probably move to higher division."
