FREE FULL FIGHT: Rodtang tears the house down in clinical masterpiece against Edgar Tabares in Denver

In May 2023, at ONE Fight Night 10, reigning ONE flyweight Muay Thai world champion Rodtang Jitmuangnon made his debut on U.S. soil and thrilled the fans inside the 1stBank Center in Denver, Colorado, when he faced Edgar Tabares for the championship.

The full fight of that match was reposted by ONE Championship on their YouTube channel recently, with the description:

"Gear up for the flyweight Muay Thai king Rodtang's return to kickboxing against Canadian-Bosnian sensation Denis Puric at ONE 167 on Prime Video by reliving his sensational U.S. debut against Mexican ace Edgar Tabares at ONE Fight Night 10 on Prime Video in 2023!"

'The Iron Man' started his world title defense with a calculated approach in the opening round to read the tendencies and attacks and how he would counter them since it was the challenger's inaugural match in the promotion.

The former WBC Muay Thai International champion used this round to land several good shots on Rodtang and try to inflict damage. But when the second round commenced, the Thai superstar seemed to have found his groove and started to fire his signature elbow strikes.

Along with these elbow shots, Rodtang was marching forward and cutting off the real state of Tabares. Eventually, he caught him with a nice counter elbow in the pocket that instantly dropped him down the mat.

Tabares failed to beat the referee's count, and Rodtang officially secured the second-round knockout finish and pocketed a whopping $100,000 bonus from ONE Chairman and CEO Chatri Sityodtong.
