ONE Championship has become renowned for delivering top-notch Muay Thai action in recent years, compiling an impressive collection of thrilling and skillful matches featuring some of the best fighters in the sport today. The promotion recently highlighted this aspect in a video post on its official YouTube channel, which has since garnered over 83,000 views.
Leading the video feature is Thai superstar Rodtang Jitmuangnon, who has maintained a long reign as ONE Championship Flyweight Muay Thai World Champion. The video kicks off with his successful title defense against Mexican challenger Edgar Tabares at the landmark ONE Fight Night 10 event held in the United States in May 2023. Known as “The Iron Man,” Rodtang methodically dismantled Tabares, culminating in a perfectly placed elbow to the jaw midway through the second round that sent the challenger to the canvas and ended the fight.
Also included in the highlight reel is Rodtang’s impressive victory over former champion Jonathan Haggerty of the United Kingdom, where he claimed the flyweight Muay Thai gold by decision after an epic five-round battle at ONE: Dawn of Heroes in August 2019. Their intense rivalry continued with a rematch five months later in January 2020, in which Rodtang secured a third-round TKO win, further cementing his dominance.
The video also showcases Rodtang’s convincing wins against notable opponents such as Joseph Lasiri, Petchdam Petchyindee, and Sok Thy, illustrating his well-rounded skills and relentless fighting spirit.
Another standout fighter featured is Superlek, highlighted by his spectacular opening-round knockout of the towering Nabil Anane at ONE Friday Fights 22 in June 2023. Known as “The Kicking Machine,” Superlek overwhelmed his opponent with precise and powerful striking to earn the decisive victory.
Other top Muay Thai athletes included in the video are renowned Thai fighters Nong-O Hama, Kongthoranee Sor Sommai, and Jaosuayai Mor Krungthepthonburi, each showcasing their exceptional talents on the ONE Championship stage.
