The start of a new series for ONE Championship in Japan, ONE Samurai 1 had multiple title fights on a stacked mid-week card. Rodtang and Takeru were up for interim gold in kickboxing, while three other championship bouts also featured.

The main event also served as Takeru’s retirement fight, making the belt in question a rather one-sided affair.

In a flyweight kickboxing showdown, Japan’s own Takeru Segawa was set to take on Thai star Rodtang Jitmuangnon, one of the biggest possible fights the promotion could put on. With Takeru a superstar in Japan and Rodtang massive in his native Thailand, it was a huge fight for South East Asia, and kickboxing as a whole.

It was preceded, mind you, by a quartet of title fights, and what should have been a fifth- though one of those had been thrown for a loop at the ONE 172 weigh-ins. After missing weight and hydration, Superlek Kiatmoo9 had been stripped of the ONE Bantamweight Muay Thai championship. As a result, his rematch against Nabil Anane had been switched to a three-round, non-title affair.

The remaining championship bouts on the ONE 172 card saw Tawanchai and Masaaki Noiri fighting for an interim featherweight kickboxing belt, Jonathan Di Bella looking to claim an interim strawweight kickboxing title opposite Sam-A Gaiyanghadao, and on the MMA side, Adriano Moraes and Yuya Wakamatsu face off for flyweight gold. And finally, Phetjeeja Lukjaoporongtom and Kana Morimoto competing for ONE Championship’s atomweight kickboxing title.

ONE Championship officials announced in a press release issued on Monday that Takeru Segawa will face Rodtang Jitmuangnon in a five-round kickboxing contest at the Saitama Super Arena on March 23, 2025.

Japan’s Takeru is a former K-1 champion and grand prix winner, with over 40 wins in kickboxing and Muay Thai. The 33-year old, fighting for RISE at the time, took part in a cross-promotional bout known as The Match in 2022 with RIZIN rival Tenshin Nasukawa, losing the fight by unanimous decision.

Takeru signed with ONE Championship in 2024, posting a 1-1 record to start his run with the company.

Rodtang has long been one of the biggest stars in Muay Thai, and biggest stars in ONE Championship. Despite being just 27, he boasts 273 recorded wins in kickboxing and Muay Thai. A former ONE flyweight Muay Thai champ, he was stripped of his title after missing weight for a fight with Jacob Smith in November.

The Thai star became something of a household name for combat sports fans when he competed in a mixed rules fight with Demetrious “Mighty Mouse” Johnson at ONE X in 2022, where he was choked out in the second round via rear-naked choke.

No fights beyond Takeru vs. Rodtang have been announced for ONE 172. The event continues something of a return to the road for ONE Championship, who host ONE 171 in Qatar in February.

Following the smaller ONE Friday Fights 86 (Friday morning for western fight fans), ONE 169 had a little something for everyone. Muay Thai star Rodtang was in action, though his fight against Jacob Smith had been marred by the man who had been champ missing weight. Not the first weight miss for Rodtang, but this one cost him his flyweight title and made him ineligible to win it back.

In kickboxing action, strawweights Jackie Buntan and Anissa Meksen faced off with a vacant title on the line. But it was the man who held three belts, Anatoly Malykhin, driving the card, looking to defend heavyweight gold against the physically imposing “Reug Reug,” properly Oumar Kane. MMA’s first triple champ, Malykhin had defeated Reinier de Ridder to claim light heavyweight gold, stopped UFC alum Arjan Bhullar to claim the heavyweight strap, then finished de Ridder again to capture a middleweight crown without missing a step.

Already having lost a featherweight Muay Thai title fight between Tawanchai and “Smokin'” Jo Nattawat due to injury, on Thursday, promotion officials announced that superstar Rodtang had missed weight. As a result, he’s been stripped of his ONE bantamweight Muay Thai championship.

Opponent Jacob Smith of the U.K., who made weight, will still be eligible to win the title. The bout, however, will technically be held at a 135.5lb catchweight.

Rodtang is arguably the highest-profile Muay Thai star on the ONE Championship roster, thanks in part to a crossover, mixed rules fight with Demetrious “Mighty Mouse” Johnson in 2022 – though the Thai boxing specialist wound up choked out in the second round.

ONE 169 streams live on Amazon’s Prime Video platform on Friday, November 8, 2024. The card is headlined by a heavyweight MMA title fight, as triple-champ Anatoly Malykhin takes on the massive Ourmar Kane, popularly known as “Reug Reug.”

In other MMA action, former ONE bantamweight champ Adriano Moraes takes on Danny Kingad, competing for the first time since completing his trilogy with the aforementioned “Mighty Mouse.” And grappling star Kade Ruotolo looks to go 2-0 in MMA when he faces off with Ahmed Mujtaba.

A Stamp Fairtex injury had taken her out of a planned main event early on (opponent Denice Zamboanga remained on the card, booked opposite Noelle Grandjean). Then, on weigh-in day, Liam Harrison hit a scale snafu, officially missing weight, but claiming he had been on point and given the go-ahead to drink water by ONE Championship officials, leading to him refusing to make another attempt.

Still, remaining on the card were a number of interesting match-ups, including the new main event featuring Smokin’ Jo Nattawut facing Saenchai for the second time, with featherweight Muay Thai gold on the line. Plus grappling stud Kade Ruotolo in an MMA fight with Blake Cooper, and Mikey Musumeci facing Gabriel Sousa in submission grappling. Not to mention Rodtang in the co-headliner.

On Thursday, promotion officials announced via press release that ONE 165 will be headlined by Muay Thai star Rodtang Jitmuangnon taking on Japanese ace Takeru Segawa. The event is set to take place on January 28, 2024 at the Ariake Arena in Tokyo, Japan.

Rodtang vs. Takeru will be contested over five rounds in the flyweight division.

One other fight was announced for ONE 165 on Thursday, a lightweight MMA battle between “Super” Sage Northcutt and Japanese legend Shinya Aoki.

It’s Rodtang versus Takeru that will no doubt have fight fans buzzing, however. The pair are widely regarded as two of the most dangerous strikers in combat sports.

Having earned his spot in history as the only three-weight K-1 champ ever, Takeru has been fighting on the biggest stages for years. In 2022, he was paired up with another of Japan’s biggest stars, Tenshin Nasukawa, in a cross-promotional effort involving RISE, K-1, and RIZIN’s Nobuyuki Sakakibara. That card reportedly drew over 500,000 buys on PPV in Japan, with a crowd of 56,399 taking in the spectacle at the Tokyo Dome.

Takeru lost the bout by unanimous decision, but has since returned to the win column. Rodtang, meanwhile, will enter the fight off a loss to Superlek Kiatmoo9 in a non-title affair this past September, after Superlek missed weight. The 26-year old known as “The Iron Main” remains the ONE flyweight Muay Thai champion as a result.

In Thursday’s press release, Chatri Sityodtong, Chairman and CEO of ONE Championship, stated that “I am thrilled that ONE Championship has partnered with Rakuten Ticket, a blue-chip brand with a shared passion for innovation, to bring this massive event to Ariake Arena. ONE has the most passionate fans in the world, especially in Japan, where martial arts is steeped in its rich cultural history. Several of ONE’s greatest moments have taken place in Tokyo, and together with Rakuten Ticket and NSN, we can’t wait to usher in a new era with our return.”

Unfortunately, as has been a theme for him lately, the ONE flyweight kickboxing title holder Superlek missed weight for the fight and so it became a non-title fight at a catchweight of 140-lbs. The rounds were also reduced from five rounds to three. Still this remained one of the biggest Muay Thai fights in recent years and the biggest challenge Rodtang has faced yet in ONE Championship. Both men wanted to win badly as another potential superfight waited in the wings with Japanese kickboxing star and recent ONE signee Takeru Segawa in the crowd to watch the bout.

The two fighters met in the center and traded leg kicks to open the fight. Rodtang slowly pressed forward as Superlek gave ground but landed the harder kicks. Rodtang tried to land big swinging punches but Superlek mostly leaned back out of the way and landed counter kicks. After one such counter Rodtang came back with a monster elbow that opened a gash on the taller fighter’s forehead. Blood stained his yellow hair and the doctor checked on him momentarily before the fight resumed. Superlek clinched up but that only allowed Rodtang to land two more short elbows. With his vision hindered it became easier for Rodtang to land his punches.

After a clear win for Rodtang in the first round he needed to do something big to get the fight back. He opened up more with combinations and forward movement to start the second round, giving him success early in the round. Rodtang had more trouble getting inside on his longer opponent, who did a better job avoiding damaging shots in the clinch. A big right elbow from Superlek as he came forward with a barrage dropped Rodtang with under a minute left in the round. He also landed a big knee as Rodtang fell to the ground. This knockdown made Rodtang angry and he came forward with a vengeance in the last twenty seconds of the round, but he still lost it 10-8.

The final round of this monumental fight began with the two fighters meeting in the center and running into a clinch, where Rodtang dumped Superlek over his hip onto the mat. After that they clinched many more times and both tried to land big elbows. Superlek began to breathe through his mouth, looking somewhat tired as Rodtang came forward at full power still. Rodtang dumped Superlek to the mat again halfway through the round. Superlek tried to clinch and land knees there at every opportunity while Rodtang tried to avoid the clinches and land his big punches at distance. The fight ended with Superlek landing a knee to the stomach while Rodtang swung back with punches.

The pair embraced on their knees in the center of the ring at the end before the judges decision was announced. There are no draws in ONE Championship, so despite the 10-8 for Superlek in round two, a winner had to be declared. Usually the tiebreaker in these situations has gone to whoever scores the knockdown, and that proved to be the case here as the judges awarded Superlek the decision.

In his post-fight interview Superlek apologized for his weight miss and declared his desire to fix his weight issues and not move up to bantamweight next. He was not able to receive a bonus at ONE Friday Fights 34 due to the weight miss.

Official Result: Superlek Kiatmoo9 def. Rodtang Jitmuangnon by Unanimous Decision

The post ONE Friday Fights 34: Superlek Knocks Down Rodtang, Wins Decision in Superfight appeared first on Cageside Press.

ONE Friday Fights 34 was topped by a Muay Thai superfight, as flyweight champ Rodtang Jitmuangnon faced off with fellow Muay Thai star and kickboxing champ Superlek Kiatmoo9 in a catchweight super-fight.

While the term “super-fight” might be overused and outright abused in the combat sports realm, Rodtang and Superlek were very much two of the best Muay Thai fighters on the planet, so in this case, the label was apt.

The only downside, the bout was to have been for Rodtang’s flyweight title, until Superlek missed weight for the historic fight.

ONE Friday Fights 34 goes down Friday, September 22, 2023 with MMA, kickboxing, and Mauy Thai action in store for fight fans. Full results, and where available, a livestream of the action is available below. The action gets underway at 8:30AM ET.

Atop the card, flyweight great Demetrious Johnson, looking to close out his trilogy with Adriano Moraes, with the pair’s series tied 1-1. The exit of “Mighty Mouse” from the UFC meant a potential trilogy with Henry Cejudo had never come to pass, making the rubber match with Moraes the first of his career.

The flyweight title fight was accompanied by two others on Friday. Muay Thai sensation Rodtang faced Edgar Tabares, while Mikey Musumeci took on Osamah Almarwai for grappling gold.

In non-title action, Stamp Fairtex looked to dance her way out of Colorado against Alyse Anderson, while Roberto Soldić and Zebaztian Kadestam faced off for a chance at interim welterweight gold, in the absence of champ Christian Lee.
