- Rodtang also calls for ‘closure’ with Tenshin Nasukawa and challenges Takeru to an ‘explosive clash’
Rodtang Jitmuangnon and Savvas Michael’s flyweight Muay Thai grand prix semi-final has been added to the line-up for ONE Championship’s blockbuster debut on Amazon Prime Video, a source has told the Post.
The pair will collide on the morning of Saturday August 27 inside Singapore Indoor Stadium at ONE 161 – which will air in prime time on Friday night in the US on August 26.
The event will be headlined by a huge rematch between flyweight MMA king Adriano Moraes and the legendary Demetrious Johnson.
The Asian martial arts promotion has yet to announce any other bouts for the card, which will be part of a double header with events on back-to-back days.
Featherweight MMA champion Thanh Le will headline August 26’s ONE 160 event at the same arena against Chinese knockout artist Tang Kai.
The 24-year-old Rodtang – ONE’s flyweight Muay Thai champion – progressed to the second round of the grand prix with a dominant decision win over Britain’s Jacob Smith in May.
