This became the Thai legend’s fourth title defense in ONE and twelfth win across all his Muay Thai and kickboxing fights. Rodtang’s impressive run in ONE Championship includes a win over Jonathan “The General” Haggerty for the ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World title back in August 2019.
His impressive resume also boasts the organization’s inaugural mixed rules super fight against MMA legend Demetrious Johnson. Despite losing to “Mighty Mouse,” Rodtang still gained respect as a serious contender and a fighting champion in the organization.
Lasiri was on a three-fight winning streak heading into his challenge of Rodtang. The Italian-Moroccan athlete did not have a dream start to his ONE Championship run. However, he moved down to Strawweight and found success in two catchweight bouts before beating Prajanchai PK. Saenchai for the Strawweight gold.
However, he could not repeat his success against the indomitable Rodtang.
