ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World Champion Rodtang Jitmuangnon is taking a cerebral approach for one of the most anticipated super-fights in striking history. Speaking at a ONE Championship Lumpinee Stadion event today in Bangkok, the iron-chinned superstar addressed his upcoming showdown against legendary former bantamweight king Nong-O Hama, revealing that technical precision and strategy will be his primary weapons.
Rodtang, world-renowned for his relentless forward pressure and wild brawling style, showed immense respect for Nong-O’s vast experience while outlining his tactical mindset.
"To be fighting with Nong-O on that day, I know everybody knows that Nong-O is very well rounded and he's been here," Rodtang said. "He's more famous than me before and I think he was fighting before I was born. In that fight, I will try to use everything that I have. I would use the IQ to get the win."
Nong-O Hama remains one of the most decorated Muay Thai fighters of the modern era, having dominated the bantamweight division for years with pinpoint counter-striking and devastating middle kicks. Rodtang’s acknowledgment of Nong-O’s head start in the sport highlights the generational nature of the matchup—pitting Thailand's most popular active striker against an all-time legend.
By emphasizing "IQ," Rodtang hinted at a calculated game plan designed to break down Nong-O’s defensive guard rather than relying purely on power exchanges inside the pocket.
The dream clash between Rodtang and Nong-O is officially set to anchor ONE Championship's blockbuster event on Friday, November 13, 2026.
