They’ve carved their names into the organization’s history, consistently living up to their reputations. A showdown between them would have been resembling a fierce storm colliding with an unyielding mountain.

This clash of titans actually took place in September 2023 at ONE Friday Fights 34. In a catchweight Muay Thai bout, Superlek became the first man to defeat Rodtangtang in a Muay Thai fight in ONE, ultimately winning by unanimous decision.

In an Instagram post by ONE Championship, there’s a recap of their fight where we can see Superlek brutally kicking Rodtang until the referee stops the fight.
