Rodtang Jitmuangnon looks to stop Savvas Michael

Although he’s the reigning ONE flyweight Muay Thai world champion, Rodtang Jitmuangnon aims to win the ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World Grand Prix to eliminate all remaining challengers. He then plans on transitioning to mixed martial arts full time after he conquers the Muay Thai mountain. To do that, must first get through the ever-dangerous Michael. Michael is one of the best Muay Thai fighters outside of Thailand, owning a professional record of 43-4. He also held world titles with WBC Muay Thai and WMC before he took part in the Grand Prix. The Cyprus native recorded an impressive unanimous decision win over Amir Naseri in his quarterfinal match, during which he dominated the Iranian-Malaysian fighter across all three rounds. Despite Michael’s impressive credentials, fans still consider Rodtang a massive favorite heading into the beat. All ‘The Iron Man’ has to do now is to prove himself worthy of his reputation and book his spot in the tournament final. Poll : 0 votes Quick Links More from Sportskeeda Thank You!
