Rodtang Jitmuangnon will face a familiar foe in his next title defense. He feels, however, that the outcome will be the same.
The 27-year-old defends his ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World Championship against Jacob Smith at ONE 169 on the morning of Saturday, November 9, at Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.
Rodtang and Smith first met in the quarterfinals of the ONE Flyweight World Grand Prix in 2022. There, Rodtang earned a unanimous decision win over a game Smith.
Ahead of his rematch against the English fighter, Rodtang spent time with the media to answer questions and do a few rounds on the pads at Jitmuangnon Gym just across Bangkok’s border in the province of Nonthaburi.
