The biggest Muay Thai fight in recent history is just over a week away, and ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World Champion Rodtang Jitmuangnon is ready for the challenge that awaits him at ONE Friday Fights 34.

"The Iron Man" collides with #1-ranked contender and ONE Flyweight Kickboxing World Champion Superlek Kiatmoo9 on Friday, 22 September, at Bangkok, Thailand's Lumpinee Boxing Stadium.

Fans have been eagerly waiting for this clash of the flyweight titans since the cancellation of their prior meeting this past March at ONE Fight Night 8. But with both champions' reigns going undisturbed, now is the time for this historic matchup.

Having evolved through the regional scene with Superlek for many years, Rodtang is no stranger to the acumen of "The Kicking Machine." This provides the flyweight Muay Thai superstar with a wealth of knowledge.

"His strength is his zoning style," Rodtang said. "He will read his opponent's movement and find a gap to counter. For his weakness, I think he can be knocked down if he gets a clean hit. And he seems to let his guard down a bit when he attacks."

'We Will Leave The Friendship Behind' - Rodtang Promises To Go All-Out Against Compatriot Superlek

Over the course of their careers, ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World Champion Rodtang Jitmuangnon and ONE Flyweight Kickboxing Titleholder Superlek Kiatmoo9 have developed a kinship.

However, at ONE Friday Fights 34, Rodtang will put all personal feelings aside. For "The Iron Man," it's about legacy. That means that on fight night, their friendship won't prevent him from pulling any punches - and he expects the same approach from his Thai counterpart.

"It's not hard at all. Outside the ring, we are brothers in arms. We respect each other, but when we have to fight, we will leave the friendship behind," Rodtang said. "We will never let friendship influence us, as we are fighters in the Circle."
