Rodtang Jitmuangnon is not unbeatable. The ONE flyweight Muay Thai champion dropped the fight after he went to war in a back-and-forth fight against Superlek Kiatmuu9. It all went down when both fighters stood across the ring at ONE Friday Fights 34.

Famed for his invincible chin and dominant displays, Rodtang suffered his first defeat in over three years. ‘The Iron Man’ was riding on an impressive nine-win streak. Meanwhile, Superlek, the current ONE flyweight kickboxing champion, recently ventured into Muay Thai to dislodge Rodtang from the throne. Unfortunately, he missed the weight and the opportunity to claim another title. But ‘The Kicking Machine’ still managed to get past Rodtang in a closely contested fight and bag the bragging rights. However, fans have a different take on the result.

ONE Friday Fights 34: Rodtang vs. Superlek result

Notably, Superlek swept the judges’ scorecards and won a unanimous decision against Rodtang. The catchweight fight was also reduced to three rounds, but the fans witnessed a banger of a fight. The highlight of the fight came in round two when Superlek knocked down Rodtang. Besides that, Rodtang had a comfortable first round, and many would argue that he also claimed the final round. Therefore, the fans didn’t find the judges’ decision credible.

As expected, the decision was hotly debated between the fans, and they made their resentment heard. Further, they demanded a rematch.
