ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World Champion Rodtang Jitmuangnon's star power continues to attract more and more fans - the latest being Hollywood's Chris Hemsworth, who reached out to the Thai megastar to wish him luck for his upcoming bout.

The beloved Thor actor sent a video message to "The Iron Man," making his appreciation known as Rodtang prepares to defend his ONE flyweight Muay Thai crown against #3-ranked contender Jacob Smith at ONE 169: Malykhin vs. Reug Reug on Saturday, November 9, at Bangkok, Thailand's Lumpinee Stadium.

"Just want to wish you all the best in your next fight defending your championship. You're a warrior, mate. You're an inspiration, cannot wait to watch it. Go get it done!"

Remarkably, it was the silver screen superstar who reached out to Rodtang first on the social media platform Instagram. Hemsworth has been seen at many of the world's biggest sporting events.

He's frequently in the crowd at soccer, MMA, and boxing shows, so it's no surprise to see he's an admirer of one of ONE Championship's biggest names. And with his children also competing in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, it's clear the Australian standout has a love for combat sports.

The sentiment between the superstars was clear, too, as the ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World Champion was quick to let Hemsworth know how much of a fan he is of him in return.

"It's an honor that you follow me. I watch you perform all the time. I hope we can meet again, brother," Rodtang said.

"Brother, you're a true warrior and an absolute weapon," Hemsworth responded. "Watching you train and fight is like watching the Terminator - absolutely mindblowing!"
