The 25-year-old Thai, who has already tallied one victory this year, now has two title fights on the calendar, and will carve out space in his hectic competitive schedule to marry his fiancée Aida Looksaikongdin.

He announced his engagement to Aida, who is also a professional fighter, on social media this week.

 
The couple did not reveal the exact date or location for their ceremony, but he was recently ordained as a Buddhist monk, a traditional practice for Thai men before marriage

Rodtang is ONE’s flyweight Muay Thai champion, and has already defended his title four times. His wife to be, Aida, does not compete for ONE Championship, but notably lost a split decision to two-fight ONE veteran Marie Ruumet last year.

“The Iron Man” was most recently in action at ONE Fight Night 6 in Bangkok early last month, when he defeated China’s Jiduo Yibu by unanimous decision in a kickboxing clash.

That victory was enough to earn him a crack at ONE flyweight kickboxing king Superlek Kiatmoo9. The two champions are slated to meet at ONE Fight Night 8 on March 25 in Singapore.
