ONE Muay Thai superstar Rodtang Jitmuangnon is back in the lab preparing for his two scheduled bouts. Watch him break through his sparring partner's defenses using his fast and powerful hands.

Rodtang is just weeks away from his ONE flyweight kickboxing world title fight against world champion Superlek Kiatmoo9. Barring injury, he'll then look to defend his ONE flyweight Muay Thai world title against Edgar Tabares less than six weeks later at ONE Fight Night 10 on Prime Video.

The 25-year-old phenom has a busy schedule ahead as he looks to continue his winning streak.

ONE Fight Night 10 is ONE Championship’s first live card in the United States and is set for May 5 at 1stBank Center in Colorado. The entire card is available live and for free to all Prime Video subscribers in North America.

Rodtang content with how his 2022 went overall, looking to add another world title to his mantle

The world-class striker tallied a 3-1 record in 2022, with his lone defeat coming in a mixed-rules bout against MMA legend Demetrious Johnson. He picked up victories over Jacob Smith, Joseph Lasiri, and Jiduo Yibu.

He is happy with how he performed in 2022 overall, but the Thai superstar is eyeing a kickboxing world title in 2023, telling SCMP MMA:

"It’s been a mixed feeling. Overall, I’m happy that I can defend my title at ONE Championship. I am a little disappointed with some fights that I’ve missed, but overall I feel good."

The Muay Thai star added:

“I will set my goals one by one. First, I will go for the kickboxing belt and next it will be in MMA. I have defended my belt in Muay Thai four times and I think it’s time to move for another belt.”

Rodtang has been beating the world's top strikers at flyweight for several years now, but adding a second world title will take his superstardom to a whole other level.

Make sure to tune in to ONE Fight Night 8 on Prime Video to watch Rodtang look to become a two-sport world champion as he takes on the current flyweight kickboxing king Superlek, live from the SIngapore Indoor Stadium on March 24.

All of the action will be broadcast live and for free to Amazon Prime subscribers across North America.
