Rodtang Jitmuangnon outclasses Joseph Lasiri at ONE on Prime Video 4

Rodtang Jitmuangnon, the ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World Champion, defeated Joseph Lasiri, the ONE Strawweight Muay Thai World Champion, in the co-main event of ONE on Prime Video 4 to retain his title.

Lasiri made very deliberate strokes at first, dodging Rodtang's force. The tempo picked up in the second round after the first round served as a warm-up, as "The Iron Man" displayed his renowned quickness and lethal combinations.

Towards the end of round four, Lasiri was knocked down by Rodtang, but he got up. Rodtang increased the pressure even more in round five, sending Lasiri to the ground once more. In the end, Rodtang won the fight by a unanimous decision after receiving scores from all three judges.

This is the second straight win for Rodtang in ONE Championship as he had secured a win over Jacob Smith in his last outing at ONE 157. The Thai Superstar has been undefeated since his loss to Demetrious Johnson in the Mixed Rules fight which happened earlier this year.

However, he was forced to withdraw from the ONE Flyweight Grand Prix and was scheduled to fight Savvas Michael at the event.
