Rodtang Jitmuangnon (Thai: รถถัง จิตรเมืองนนท์; born July 23, 1997) is a Thai Muay Thai fighter. He currently competes in ONE Championship and is the reigning ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World Champion. Jitmuangnon is also a former Omnoi Stadium 130lb Champion and MAX Muay Thai 125lb Champion.

As of December 2020, The Nation considers him the best pound-for-pound Muay Thai fighter in the world.[1]

Biography

Rodtang had his first Muay Thai fight at the age of 8 to make money and help his family. At 14, he moved to Bangkok to join the Jitmuangnon gym.[2]

On January 2, 2016, Rodtang won his first Muay Thai title when he defeated Petchprakan Kor. Klanbut by decision to claim the MAX Muay Thai 125 lb Championship. On February 6, 2016, he successfully defended his MAX 125 lb title belt against Petchprakan, winning by decision once again.

On July 29, 2017, he defeated Chai Sor Jor Toypadriew to win the vacant Omnoi Stadium 130lb title. Rodtang retained the title on April 28, 2018 by defeating Phetnamngam Aor Kwanmuang.

On June 16, 2018, Rodtang faced Japanese kickboxing superstar Tenshin Nasukawa under kickboxing rules at Rise 125 in Tokyo, the fight was very exciting and contested. The judges gave a draw after 5 rounds and an extra round had to be fought, Rodtang lost that round and the fight but some observers thought he had done enough to get the win prior to that.[3]

In August 2018, Rodtang faced Chorfah Tor Sangtiennoi. This fight would later be elected Rajadamnern Stadium Best Fight of the Year.[4]

Throughout 2017 and 2018, Rodtang went on a 10-fight winning streak in the stadiums which culminated in a fight against Rungkit Morbeskamala for the vacant Rajadamnern 130lbs title. Rodtang lost by decision.[5]

On August 16, 2019, Rodtang faced Saeksan Or. Kwanmuang in the Songkhla Province, the fight was deemed underwhelming considering the fight style of the two participants. The rematch a month later was the back and forth war fans expected and received the award for Fight of the year at Rajadamnern Stadium.

On January 31, 2020, Rodtang faced Yodlekpet Or. Pitisak in the biggest Muay Thai card of the year in Phuket. Despite a size differential and a side bet of 1 million baht from the Teeded99 camp in play, Rodtang dominated his opponent and won a clear decision against arguably one of his best opponents yet.

Rodtang suffered his first loss since October 25, 2018 against Kaonar P.K.SaenchaiMuaythaiGym at Rajadamnern Stadium on February 27, 2020.

He was able to avenge his loss to Kaonar in a rematch at the R1 UFA event held in World Siam Stadium on October 5, 2020, winning the five-round decision.

On November 24 2020, Yokkao founder, Philip Villa announced on Instagram that Rodtang has signed a three-year sponsorship deal with the Muay Thai brand.[6][7] His camp mate, Nuenglanlek Jitmuangnon also signed a three-year sponsorship deal with the brand.[8]

ONE Championship

After signing with ONE Championship, Rodtang made his ONE Super Series debut against Sergio Wielzen on September 22, 2018 at ONE Championship: Conquest of Heroes in Jakarta. He defeated Wielzen by unanimous decision.[9]

ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World Champion

On August 2, 2019 at ONE Championship: Dawn of Heroes in Manila, Rodtang faced Jonathan Haggerty for the ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World Championship after Haggerty previously called him out at ONE Championship: For Honor.[10] After a slow start to the fight, Rodtang knocked Haggerty down in the fourth round and went on to win the fight by unanimous decision, also being crowned the new ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World Champion.[11] In his first title defense, Rodtang defeated Walter Goncalves by split decision at ONE Championship: Century on October 13, 2019.[12]

Rodtang then made his second title defense of the ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World Championship in a rematch against Jonathan Haggerty at ONE Championship: A New Tomorrow on January 10, 2020.[13] In a fight where he floored Haggerty a total of 4 times, including a liver shot in the first round, Rodtang went on to retain his ONE Flyweight Muay Thai Title with a third-round TKO victory after delivering 3 knockdowns in that same round.[14]

Rodtang next faced Petchdam Petchyindee Academy for a third time as he is scheduled to defend the ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World Championship a third time at ONE Championship: No Surrender on July 31, 2020.[15] He defeated Petchdam and retained the title by majority decision after five rounds.[16]

On October 5, 2020, Rodtang faced Kaonar P.K.SaenchaiMuaythaiGym in a rematch which was arranged to raise money for charity. Rodtang won the fight via unanimous decision.[17]

A tenured Muay Thai fighter, Rodtang was scheduled to make his kickboxing debut against Alejandro Rivas at ONE Championship: Fists Of Fury on February 26, 2021.[18][19] Rivas was later replaced by Tagir Khalilov, whom Rodtang beat by split decision.[20]

He was expected to face Jacob Smith at ONE on TNT 1 on April 7, 2021.[21] However, Smith was later pulled from the fight and replaced with Danial Williams.[22] Rodtang defeated Williams by unanimous decision.[23]

Special-rules fight with Demetrious Johnson

On September 15, 2021, it was announced that Rodtang would face the former UFC Flyweight Champion and 2019 ONE Flyweight Grand-Prix Champion, Demetrious Johnson. The fight was scheduled to take place on December 5, 2021 under special rules, and will headline the ONE X event. Rounds 1 and 3 will be contested under the ONE Muay Thai ruleset, and rounds 2 and 4 will be contested under the ONE MMA ruleset.[24] However, due to the pandemic shutdowns, the event was rescheduled for ONE Championship: X on March 26, 2022.[25] Rodtang lost the bout via a rear-naked choke submission in the second round.[26]

2022 ONE Muay Thai Flyweight GP

The bout with Jacob Smith was rebooked to serve as a quarterfinal bout of the ONE Muay Thai Flyweight Grand Prix at ONE Live 20 May on May 20, 2022.[27] He won the bout via unanimous decision.[28]

Rodtang is scheduled to face Savvas Michael in the tournament semifinals.
