Rodtang to defend world title at ONE 169: Atlanta

“The Iron Man” will defend his ONE Muay Thai flyweight world title against No. 3 ranked Jacob Smith at the blockbuster event taking place inside State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia on November 9.

The two men will renew hostilities just over two years after their first meeting in the quarterfinals of the ONE flyweight Muay Thai World Grand Prix, which Rodtang won by unanimous decision.

Rodtang is also coming off a thrilling unanimous decision victory over Denis Puric under kickboxing rules last month.

Despite missing weight ahead of the contest at ONE 167, the 26-year-old put on another classic performance and even wowed fans with some refined footwork he had yet to display in his six-year ONE tenure.
