By the age of 25, Rodtang has scored over 250 wins, claimed 3 prestigious belts and set several records in ONE. The Iron Man has held the Asian promotion’s title for almost 4 years, justifying his nickname over and over again. It's time to enjoy the reign of the Thai Tyrant, who rightfully bears the crown as the best Muay Thai fighter at present.
I love this guy. What an insane warrior, huge power, huge confidence, but also respectful and humble after the match ends. He simply wants all the smoke.
yes but he needs to stop taking shots to the head CTE is no joking matter.
@samuellp1146 you're right. Bro could perfect his defence. Takes hard shots to be entertaining but ain't completely worth it 😮💨
@@Thawhid yeah he was an "insane warrior" showing off to the crowd standing still taking direct shots to the head💀.
Don't see any respectful or humble behavior.
and by huge he means tiny almost size of child lol
300+ fights at 21 years old, destroying x-champs in the span of a month. Dude. I mean, seriously. This guy is tough as hell!
No doubt about it
That's why we call him Iron-Man 🔥 He got choke but he won't Tap like Conor McGregor tho 😂
Welcome to Islam brother roadtang💪

@@skyhigh4517 there's no way ur down grading a tap. No matter which one u take etiher tapping or going to sleep you still lost.
His kick getting caught and then jumping over the low kick never fails to wow me
He’s fun to watch, he loves his wife, he respects his opponents, he dances to the ring… I don’t know what you could dislike about this guy. Lol
hahaha
What amazes me is his humbleness and the ability to hold back and still win easily.
What I admire most is how respectful he is to his opponents
lol literally the first clip is him mocking his opponent
😂
@@PandaBoy-zi2hg mocking an opponent in the ring or cage is normality, strategy you can say. Different beheviour is after or before the match, and he is really respectfulXD
He literally lets his opponent hit him to humiliate them
After he knocked them out. Lol.
my body hurts just from hearing some of those kicks. absolutely brutal. the training these guys go through is insane and incredibly impressive.

24:07 even after being disrespected by being stood over by his opponent who lost, he still shows him respect and compassion afterwards. Mad respect to him.
❤
Dude just lost a year of life, we can give him a little freeway in protocols cant we
I don't think he was disrespecting him... That's a cultural thing, so the other guy could just have been confused
@@thelegacyofgaming2928 I see, but it is Universal World Wide.
The "disrespectful person" hugged him afterwards
Bro an absolute fucking tank
"Rodtang chose to go to sleep rather than tap" WHAT A BEAST
I don't think he chose to go to sleep and >> I'm not mean to be disrespect to him
@@utenatenjou2139 you really think rodtang is too dumb to not know that he can tap in chokeholds? he just chooses not to tap because his unbreakable will wouldn't let him, just like what khabib said to conor "go to sleep, why you tap". fighters like rodtang and khabib would never tap they'd rather go out giving it their all
@@Jangz_ No, I don't think that it is about intelligent or bravery at all. The closest that I can come up with is at a point under choke hold he didn't have awareness to tap out, which I think it can be harmful to any combatants. In fact the ref. should stop it before he lost consciousness. I do believe that bravery was already demonstrated that Rod Tang and his team agree to fight in this rules. What should be taught before the match is the combatant should know when to tap out if he/she can't solve any choke he was under and left it for the ref. Same go for any striker to forfeit if he is unable to defense him/herself. Different in tell-sign in grappling arts can be seen clearer, as upset come-back is rarely happen, due to progression of a choke often slower compared to an stray come-back shot.
@@utenatenjou2139... in their culture its a disgrace to give up thats thai culture for you.... thats why he went to sleep. There... didnt write an essay to give you the answer.
You want to see a beast then check out a Steven Seagal movie. Seagal is the deadliest martial artist the world has ever known.
Tenshin Nasukawa's and Rodtang's clash was something like a demon and a T-rex in all out fighting. So much skill and brutality in a single ring, it was amazing.
The judges decision was controversial, but in their defense, Tenshin did score more hits. Of course Rodtang's armor was too tough for him to crack, but boy did he try.
wow this guy is amazing
It was a robbery by Japan supporting their undefeated cash cow
the best fight in the series. like gojo vs sakuna rn
Roadtang would have fought maywearher instead of Tenshin, not bet on mayweather victory
It's easy to find someone bigger than Rodtang. It's really hard to find someone hungrier or more energetic.
Tawanchai is the only other guy I've seen be so beautifully agressive it's making me wish I still did muay thai
Fun Fact, Muai Thai fighters in Thailand sometimes let opponents get the advantage for the first 2 rounds so the audience placed their bets on the opponent. In the final rounds, the fighter picked up the pace while the opponent was exhausted and demolished them, winning them fame and fortune.
In the crowd there are people covering their mouth with the fight program. Are they giving live information for betting?
For a guy who's won over 250 fights, he CELEBRATES every victory like it's his FIRST!!!
And, besides some exceptions, instantly shows respect to his opponent when the fight ends
@@GunZFoXHe shows most respect to those who fight him head on without fear to the end. Warriors. Though maybe too tough for their own good. That applies to Rodtang as well.
As a Thai person, we really appreciated all the loves and supports that all of you are giving to Rodtang. We are so proud of him.. Kob Khun! ( thank you!) 🙏❤
Lots of westerners respecting Muay Thai nowadays. Especially Rodtang, hard not to respect him.
You all created a complete Beast😂 Thank you!!!
@@ashenmoonclash 5555😂
@@notabidensupporter6540Rodtang not smoking and not Drink alcohols
Thanks thai people for spreading Kun Khmer
I like how he shows respect after each fight That's a true fighter right there
What a guy. He just loves the battle and even encourages his opponent to join the adrenaline fueled aggression. Absolutely badass, but what sealed the deal for me is his humility on top of this all ❤
pls stop watching this and find islam
@@user-ch8wo2ou2v religion is a lie used to subjugate the masses through fear.
@@user-ch8wo2ou2vwhat is the main moto of islam
I swear hes the modern buakaw.
@@user-ch8wo2ou2v please stop watching this and find jesus
Rodtang is so fun to watch, he eats punches and then cracks a sinister grin while punching himself, taunting his opponent to hit him harder, what a mad lad. As soon as the fighting is done he shows his respect to his opponents, met his goal of helping his family and community at 23, what an amazing and inspiring individual, truly one of a kind!!!
Eats front kicks, to the face... That's got to demoralize an opponent.
@@barnz3000 Impressive fighter thats for sure, but that sort of abuse on the body will catch up with him as he ages.
@@shaundouglas2057 I was thinking the same thing.
@@shaundouglas2057 maybe hes body had grown up differently if he is doing it since he was a child, thus making him much more ressiliant and injury is then less likely to occure. I mean if monks can break stones with skull i think body can adapt to the stress if done properly
notice how the muay thai fighters rarely bleed? even their skin is hard to pierce
He's always been on a whole different level. Absolute legend of the sport already. Hard as coffin nails.
I can not even put into words how insane this guy is. Seriously, if you saw this guy out and about, you would have no idea he was such a conditioned machine of a fighter. What a GOAT.
I thank Rodtang everyday for the dain bramage he gave me in sparring. What a legend 👏🏾
My King .
Dain bramage?😭
@@Komi8 lmao i didnt even realise, i read it as brain damage
@@dogsushienjoyer Don’t worry you not the only one that didn’t notice it because this comment deserves more likes.
I love Rodtang, what an entertainer - never scared, always joking, takes every fight! Rodtang improved a lot in the last years and his last KO against the Mexican star was a thing of beauty! Rodtang can take shots that would take every other fighter to nirvana, he is tough as hell, in Thai they call him the 'Tank' - Also I had been happy for Rodtang during the time he had been together with Stamp Fairtex - the female Thai star who I also admire.
Stamp ❤️
The undisputed king and queen of Muay Thai. Too bad they split up, but man, they are both so crazy entertaining in the ring and cage. I hope their recent fights in Colorado for One FC have earned them the fans in the West that they have deserved for years. The skills and gamesmanship is topnotch, for both of them.
It would be brutal if he could drop bombs after a fighter falls in this sport. Complete sportsmanship by him everytime winning.
They call him "Tank" because "Rodtang" is a Thai word that directly literally translates to "Tank".
he spoonfed that elbow to the mexican like a baby
Imagine robbing rodtang’s house and you see him walk into the living room pointing at the floor with his fists up.
Robbers majke the biggest mistakes of their miserable lives.
From now on i am Rodtang's fan, what an athlete and family man. Blessings 🙏
I'll be in Thailand again this time next week. Thais are incredible athletes with remarkable discipline. But Thais are also the coolest people on Earth with the most unique and vibrant culture. There is so much there when you really look.
This channel is amazing! These videos are always so well put together and informative, with great delivery! Thank you for giving exposure to grappling and muay thai as well!
Rodtang is amazing. Humility and thankful outside the ring but a killer in the ring. Also, the personality and fighting style to keep you entertained from the beginning to the end.
This man is so strong and so confident he is a true champion deserves respect
I always supporting you rodtang. From Philippines.
A true fighter. If you stand your ground and give him a proper fight you earn his utmost respect. If you make him chase you around the ring he will call you out and mock you to the crowd.
i didnt get this part, like i knew the guy was supposed to be the emp but is a fisher king some kind of refences to something.
I know but some people just have a different style
The fight where he lightly tapped and "played around" with his opponent to not damage him even more made me fall in love with him! What absolutely respect from a man who's so brutal in the ring.
i loved this aswell, he couldve absolutely destroyed that guys face but chose not to, while also kind of keeping the fight going. mad respect.
imagine him in the ufc
Rodtang no experience on wresler, so like special event on one chmapions eortang lost by rear naked choke
But never lost on thai and kick boxing event, lost only special event vs mma figther round 1 rules muaythai oponent almost lost, round 2 mma rules and rodtang get rear naked choke
I think he's training it now.
If he spent the next 2-3 years really learning submissions/submission defenses and he could probably be the world champ at 135
@@babbyyellow8748keep in mind Muay Thai has resistance to takedowns unlike other striking martial arts. He’d most definitely win against any striker, and would actually have a chance against grapplers. Keep in mind they have to be quick and get into a position where they can go for the takedown. Rodtangs reaction time is insane. So it won’t be easy by any means BJJ has the best chance of winning I’d say
This was such an amazing doc. Thanks so much making it.
Of all the fighters and fights I've ever seen, this guy is a PHENOMENON!!! Where have you been all my life, sir???? Forget Bruce, Sammo, Jet, and Jacky. Forget Adesanya, MVP, Hadri, The Mac, etc., Forget Jones, Sugar, Ali (well, maybe not Ali), Tyson (ok, maybe not the Irish one) and Lennox. This guy has it ALL - showmanship, sportsmanship, style, fearlessness, humility, and the BEST chin ever fashioned on a human being!! Enthralling viewing. I just hope he knows when to bow out gracefully and hopefully preserve the LEGEND of 'The Man of Iron'.
Nah Superlek is better and Rodtang knows it, that's why Rod backed out of the fight and has refused to sign another bout with him.
He's still plenty young enough to train bjj for a year or two and then dominate mma for a decade plus. I want to see the bombs he can drop when an opponent falls over😂
@@UsaRubber Id say Tawanchai is the best MT fighter, today.
not sure how he constantly on the rings without break time for recover, doesn't make sense
Rodtang is sick as hell I love it
One thing I love about rodtang, korean zombie, and pacquiao is the respect they still have towards their opponents even though their opponents spits so much crap at them! And unlike many others, once they knock their opponent down they stop attacking immediately instead of continuing to strike at their opponent. That’s what you call real respect right there ❤ it takes a lot for a real fighter to show their soft side and respect towards their opponents
people don't understand how hard core these Muay Thai dudes from Thailand are, I've met a few and all of them are crazy
What an incredible athlete! Unbelievable talent. You should have millions of subscribers, your content is amazing. Much better than any other contact sport channels I’ve watched.
He is like the Avatar of a war God. His conditioning is insane with almost unlimited stamina.
That's what most overlook
Thanks for that little documentary about him. It's heartwarming.
Imagine how scary it must be too hit a dude with all your power and he just screams in your face and keeps hitting you lol Legend!
He just keeps coming forward no matter what.
he believe in his chin
What an absolute warrior! He has complete control over all his fights! His brute force is insane. He keeps his stance tight and arms firmly close to his body. He knows being the smaller guy you gotta fight the close fights. More speed and power up close and the way he's controlling his breathing to keep up the heat is just incredible.
dude is built different. lmao
except the one against that japanese
An absolute monster 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻 I did research this man a little more and it turns out he’s a warrior with honour and respect 👏👏👏👏👏👏 good for you bruv 👍🏻
Very sportsmanship,and very respectful man. Salute on you rodtang
I never heard of this guy but this video made me a fan. Straight warrior.
me too.just saw his face few times,but didnt know that he won many fights..he really a beast...will follow start follow his news from now..
The best other then baukaw
This channel just keep on delievering the most insane quality content. Thank you for letting me know about Rodtang, beast and gent combined!
Rodtang's respect for his opponents at the end of each bout is commendable. what professionalism,class act! Respect❤💥
What I can't really forget is how he's serious with that tradition of his. I never succeeded to find fault if he's just pretending to propagate his reputation.
Excellent commentary! Also, excellent fighter!
Love Rodtang! He is the reason I started watching Muay Thai and has given me interest in watching other Muay Thai fighters as well. Tbh I am most excited for Rodtang matches than I am for Title fights lol and I'm a MMA fan first .
The discipline Rodtang has is tremendous and inspiring 🎉❤😊
Muay Thai fighters are my favourite for the simple reason of respect. Pretty rare to see a Muay Thai master go for ground and pound in the UFC. The fighters smile after their opponent throw a good combo, all because they are impressed. Every match starts and ends with a handshake and a hug. Not to mention almost every single major Muay Thai fighter began fighting to help their family survive.
The way his personality changes as soon as the fight ends is amazing.
Epitome of an Ultimate warrior. He has a concrete chin. Concrete body. Phenomenal technique and incredible heart. Changes and adapts according to opponent. Perfect Muay Thai practitioner.
Rodtang is an absolute beast, almost super human Would love a Demetroius Johnson video in the same style. He deserves his flowers too.
Great content and presentation. 😊
I'm so glad Rodtang is a good guy, makes it so much easier to support such a badass in the ring.
What a savage! Mad respect for this young man
Thank you for the content, ill be looking for this guys fights, this dude is a KING in the ring!!
Rodtang is a beast! Thanks for this great performance!!
Great content thank you
...with those hands and incredible movement, angle & level changes so naturally smooth & effective - he could be an amazing Boxer too. His Boxing is fantastic.
I think he may be my favourite fighter to watch. Toughest jaw out there, such a badass, respectful, exciting to watch, always puts on a show. What a legend.
He is Glorifying his 🇹🇭country's name. Love from INDIA 🇮🇳❤️
It's a machine, Iron Man himself. It's incredible how he's already fought with people from all over the world. I hope one day some famous star makes a movie about him.
That fight with Tenshin was off the chain!!!
Wow what a warrior!
This man just ramps up. Dude's like a Saiyan, the more you hit him the more his power level raises.
Rodtang is by far the most entertaining fighter ive ever seen
"... and soon realised what insanity is." what a beautiful statement!
Agreed!
Very few people are destined to be a legend. He is clearly a legend.
Kick az vid. Rodtang is a beast I love it. Best part is he shows respect and still cares for his opponent. Much respect and look forward to more of him in the future. He's like a lil honey badger 🦡
That kid is one tough little SOB...! Never seen anything like it. My hats off to him, and two thumbs waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay up!!!
I adore the humility of this fighter. He deserves a grateful audience
Brilliant video on one of my fave fighters! hes such a monster, the way he can absorb punches and kicks like their nothing!
I have family in Indonesia and the far east ,and these guys are so tough and strong ,not to mention skilled ,great fighters .
The determination and singular mindset he has. Only hardships in life can give you such power.
Fantastic matches, especially with the Japanese and the Australian. Exchange of heavy artillery. He's lightning fast and has a steel chin!😄
ONE has evolved a lot, and is highly accessible on prime and their youtube channel. I think that was a genius move.
you'll never know
thank you for not adding Floyd into this.. These guys are true legends and they all went out on their shields. Lets make sure when we compare legends in the making to past legends, its those who gave it their all regardless of the fight or opponent
As someone who doesn't know much about MMA and thai-boxing, after first 10 minutes i had exactly this feeling, i thought he is some kind of old legend. Totally awesome.
Don't forget that he started at the age of 8, muay thai fighters are "older" than their age, don't know how his brain is right now, but ONE FC made his career and life easier with fewer fights than a classic Muay Thai fighter
He was in a bad car accident. He was given a Titanium plate in his forehead and R shin bone
What are you on about??? An Aura reminiscent of mythical athletes bla bla bla 🤣. He is one of many, nothing to special for a Muay Thai Champion. There have been many great Muay Thai Champions over the years. 300+ fights is not so special in Thailand guys. Its ok you guys like the guy, but keep it real. He is a good Muay Thai Fighter.
I do like how in this fight 12:50 you notice that Rodtang is in a huge disadvantage because of height since the champion can just keep his range and keep pushing him out and Rodtang is trying to find a way to counter. But after a certain point he adapted and is willing to trade blows instead to move in closer.
Maybe he can take up the legacy of the Giant Killer from Saenchai, but dude used to fight people WAY bigger than him. Rodtang is in my rotation of favorites right there with Buakaw, Saenchai, and Tawanchai. def 4 of my favorites to watch highlights of.
another great video friend!!! thanks for the info!
The fact he doesn't show any sign of fear is insane. He fights like he knows he will win every time.
I saw an interview of him where he was interviewed at home. He is so shy, very polite, and adores his wife so much. Besides, he has the highest respect for his mother. It is so amusing watching this clip and thinking of him outside the ring.
I love rodtang man, what he has achieved in all these years is legendary❤️
One video is all it took for me to respect Rodtang more then almost all fighters
The reason why I love watching this dude is because he respectful and disrespectful when his enemy is kinda cocky but this right here 22:47 what a legend 😂 never go tap
This man is a complete package super talented and unconditional love for the sport
mad respect. heart of a warrior for sure.
This channel is the f***ing best. The commentary is absolute gold.
OMG this guy exists? This is so amazing! Legend on the making!
he is an entertainer that loves to bang, hes never in a dull fight, even when DJ put him to sleep i think he earned even more fans, never underhanded in his fights and always respectful to his opponents afterwards i cant wait to see what his new found knowledge off mma is gonna bring to his fighting style
I'm so conflicted with D4 in general but appreciate your cautious optimism
Masya Allah Rodtang .. succes in every Fight You Own ❤
I remember the first time I saw him fight. He was punching himself in the face and I was like, "Who tf is this guy?!".. The man is a tank, love how he gave back to his village.. he's one of my new favs
Savage power and ferociousness while also being an absolute gentleman. love this guy
The fact that he is so respectful and kind makes him all the more terrifying
Awesome narration!
Always reliable judges 😂 Great to see more eyes on lesser known promotions. Gotta love Ironman for his skill and respect.
Things are just different in Thailand. The fighting spirit of youth is GREATLY respected and utilized; your trainers will work the hell out of you and make sure you get as many fights as humanly possible before you burn out. There are no notions that you'll be able to fight at the level indefinitely -- you need to destroy as many people as possible before your body slows down. And the respect and humility of Thai champions is amazing; they are so kind and well-mannered. Absolutely no one from the western world would ever assume they had even ever been in a fight let alone hold belts in the most brutal fighting sport. There is no trash talking between competitors.
Excellent video. Rodtang was way too scary to deal with. To be young and in beast mode....
