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!) 🙏❤
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.
What a great guy. 100% ferocity during the match. As soon as the bell dings he kneels down to pay respect to his opponent. If the opponent is too messed up, he helps with the cuts, the Chinese fighter who is obviously new to the scene, he took it easy at he could finish the fight instead of getting knocked out by the world champ. This guy is world class. Helps with the community. Raising a new generation of the youths to participate in the sport. I need to be better like him.
@@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.
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!!!
@@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
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.
Fun fact: that’s not it at all. The reason is that the first 2 rounds are not scoring rounds. Only rounds 3/4 are considered fighting rounds - the 5th is the decider - usually fighters know in the 5th if they lost or won already. Thats why most coast in the 5th. Why take damage when you already know the outcome? Unless you can ko its just unneccessary damage. Rounds 1 and 2 are for gamblers to collect all the bets and to allow the gamblers to see the skill of the fighters while they figure each other out.
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.
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.
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.
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.
@@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.
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.
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'.
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😂
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 ❤
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 .
You should check out Superbon. His Muaythai and Kickboxing technique is beautiful and brutal to watch. He fights at 155lbs and is a killer. As a matter of fact, look up his KO of Giorgio Petrosyan, who was considered the P4P kickboxer in the world at the time.
...with those hands and incredible movement, angle & level changes so naturally smooth & effective - he could be an amazing Boxer too. His Boxing is fantastic.
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.
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.
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
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.
Back then they got into this art of training to protect Siam against colonialism. Siam has never been under colonized. We adapted the differences with excellent diplomat skills. Nowadays some got into training to advance their profession to support their family financially and keeping our tradition of fighting alive, it’s an honor thing to do in Thai culture, they didn’t get into a fight because they have anger issues. Muy Thai also has spiritual teacher called Kru ( that’s why they are doing spiritual dancing to honor their Kru( wai Kru 🙏🏼 ) before starting the fight , Kru deserves respect cuz of he / she provides spiritual guidance, dignity of tolerance and pride. These fighters also see their opponents as someone who is making them fight better each time after the end of the event they’d learned something. My cousin is married to a nak muy, he protects and serves, but we must not mess with him 😂
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.
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
Rodtang is the current muay thai king! Haggerty had no choice but to move out of Rodtang's weight class after that second fight. Would like to see Nasukawa fight Rodtang in Thailand. Also, Rodtang is way better now than when they first fought.
if rodtang would trained in submission he would be a unbeatable opponent… the only and biggest weakness in these muay thai fighter is that they can’t defend the submission… if rodtang was rounded in jiu jitsu , grappling, he would be super hard to beat…he’s a beast and respectful
I agree. Fighting styles were designed around philosophies. This one is about taking more punishment than your opponent can give and give more punishment than they can take. And finishing it all as quickly as possible. The submission is more patient and endearing, a luxury their warriors didn't have in times past on the battle field, especially when outnumbered. Hence the modern adaptation till this day.
@@sagoeedmundkojo most people with brains would agree with us, but you’ll see some idiots whom doesn’t even know how to fight that’s the best fighter can beat a jui jitsu submission fighter, but in reality even the best can’t defend the submission… look at rodtang, he’s a beast hardest and truly talented fighter, but look what happen when he fought mighty mouse?! ironman was doing great when he was fighting the mma muay thai rules and as soon as they they grappling submission rules mighty mouse submitted him easily… more examples look at those beast fighters like dagestani fighters they’re taking over the ufc because of superior samba, grappling, wrestling, and submission skills..
What a beast! The nickname Tank is well earned, as he only knows how to move forward regardless of whatever may be shot his way. And he's immediately humble and respectful when the fight ends. So much respect for this man.
Me terminé viendo todo el video sin saber inglés, ya que este tipo de luchador me gusta porque siempre respeta a sus contrincantes y asta cuando pierde lo hace de manera humilde y acepta su derrota.
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
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.
It's a good clip full of correct information. And the narration is full of intelligence which reflects the ability of the owner of this channel. I immediately subscribed.🙏🏻Confirmed by Thai people🇹🇭
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
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.
Rodtang is the kind of fighter who wants a fight that,in his case, will make Buddha bow to his skill. He embodies what Muay Thai was built on strength, courage, skill and determination.
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
lmao if u think this reckless fighting style gets u a long career ur mistaken. he is very impressive and fun to watch but he will have horrendous brain damage by 35
sadly getting this much damage to your head is very bad... he's amazing, i wish him to live to 100 years and still be moving and dancing like he does with his family and loved ones, but i dont see it, it will catch up so fast to him especially since he just eats the shots. it's both amazing and really sad.
@@keseanlee523 That fight was 100% rigged. Tenshin got his name out to the world & a nice payday, Floyd kept his "record". Ofc fighting a big name like Floyd, there has to be conditions met behind the scene.
The fight with Tenshin was in Japan. As always with every non-Japanese fighters in Japan, they cheated. You won't see Japanese fighters going anywhere much outside their own country where they have referees' full supports and backups.
All of that but feel sorry for him after he reach 35-40 years old. He made a history and became a legend. He will be forever respected by muay thai community, and viewers.
@@idontlag8454 Sorry to say this.. Poor people like them are fighting just to survive.. Archivement is bonus.. I hope my statement is not misunderstood
When someone hits you and you laugh and "mock" the hit. That is not respect, it's being a punk. Rodtang does that alot, and he is lucky he doesn't get a straight kick to his jaw, or a jumping knee to the face while he brags.
@@ToG408 he does get hit while showboating regularly. Doesn't phase him one bit. There's multiple clips of it in this very video lmao He just has an insane chin that's all
@@ToG408 forgot the name of the fighter who fought him.But his straight kick full of power on Rodtang neck,Rodtang kept moving forward without stopping.that fighter is white and wear blue pants hahaha
dunno... honestly he talk like a little asshole, he is convinced he is the strongest man in the world like the Thais in general... he was convinced he was also going to cut Demetrius to pieces xD just lol
@@btnhstillfireLets be real now if all those rounds were Muay Thai then Rodtang would dominate. Let's not discredit his achievements at such a young age.
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!

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.
He doesn't look like an athlete, he looks like he's the leading warrior of his people risking his people's lands in a fight to the death.
The discipline Rodtang has is tremendous and inspiring 🎉❤😊
I adore the humility of this fighter. He deserves a grateful audience
This man is so strong and so confident he is a true champion deserves respect
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
Rodtang is an absolute beast, almost super human
Would love a Demetroius Johnson video in the same style. He deserves his flowers too.
The anticipation, the speed, the power. And THE CHIN! Holy mackerel! Truely impressive!
That kid is one tough little SOB...! Never seen anything like it. My hats off to him, and two thumbs waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay up!!!
This channel just keep on delievering the most insane quality content. Thank you for letting me know about Rodtang, beast and gent combined!
This was such an amazing doc. Thanks so much making it.
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.
Saenchai and Buakaw would like a word
@@dritslem4711 lmao
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
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.
Back then they got into this art of training to protect Siam against colonialism. Siam has never been under colonized. We adapted the differences with excellent diplomat skills. Nowadays some got into training to advance their profession to support their family financially and keeping our tradition of fighting alive, it’s an honor thing to do in Thai culture, they didn’t get into a fight because they have anger issues. Muy Thai also has spiritual teacher called Kru ( that’s why they are doing spiritual dancing to honor their Kru( wai Kru 🙏🏼 ) before starting the fight , Kru deserves respect cuz of he / she provides spiritual guidance, dignity of tolerance and pride. These fighters also see their opponents as someone who is making them fight better each time after the end of the event they’d learned something. My cousin is married to a nak muy, he protects and serves, but we must not mess with him 😂
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.
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
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.
Rodtang is the current muay thai king! Haggerty had no choice but to move out of Rodtang's weight class after that second fight. Would like to see Nasukawa fight Rodtang in Thailand. Also, Rodtang is way better now than when they first fought.
It’s a madness as well, cos Haggerty is no slouch at all
if rodtang would trained in submission he would be a unbeatable opponent… the only and biggest weakness in these muay thai fighter is that they can’t defend the submission…
if rodtang was rounded in jiu jitsu , grappling, he would be super hard to beat…he’s a beast and respectful
I agree. Fighting styles were designed around philosophies. This one is about taking more punishment than your opponent can give and give more punishment than they can take. And finishing it all as quickly as possible.
The submission is more patient and endearing, a luxury their warriors didn't have in times past on the battle field, especially when outnumbered. Hence the modern adaptation till this day.
@@sagoeedmundkojo most people with brains would agree with us, but you’ll see some idiots whom doesn’t even know how to fight that’s the best fighter can beat a jui jitsu submission fighter, but in reality even the best can’t defend the submission… look at rodtang, he’s a beast hardest and truly talented fighter, but look what happen when he fought mighty mouse?! ironman was doing great when he was fighting the mma muay thai rules and as soon as they they grappling submission rules mighty mouse submitted him easily… more examples look at those beast fighters like dagestani fighters they’re taking over the ufc because of superior samba, grappling, wrestling, and submission skills..
Very sportsmanship,and very respectful man. Salute on you rodtang
He is like the Avatar of a war God. His conditioning is insane with almost unlimited stamina.
That's what most overlook
The determination and singular mindset he has. Only hardships in life can give you such power.
What a beast! The nickname Tank is well earned, as he only knows how to move forward regardless of whatever may be shot his way. And he's immediately humble and respectful when the fight ends. So much respect for this man.
Savage power and ferociousness while also being an absolute gentleman. love this guy
Rodtang is sick as hell I love it
Me terminé viendo todo el video sin saber inglés, ya que este tipo de luchador me gusta porque siempre respeta a sus contrincantes y asta cuando pierde lo hace de manera humilde y acepta su derrota.
What a savage! Mad respect for this young man
Fantastic matches, especially with the Japanese and the Australian. Exchange of heavy artillery. He's lightning fast and has a steel chin!😄
This channel is the f***ing best. The commentary is absolute gold.
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
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.
It's a good clip full of correct information. And the narration is full of intelligence which reflects the ability of the owner of this channel. I immediately subscribed.🙏🏻Confirmed by Thai people🇹🇭
I love rodtang man, what he has achieved in all these years is legendary❤️
Ferocious Warrior during fights, Benevolent Human after it. He had attained some truly good cultivation. Respect!
The way his personality changes as soon as the fight ends is amazing.
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.
"... and soon realised what insanity is." what a beautiful statement!
Agreed!
I'm so glad Rodtang is a good guy, makes it so much easier to support such a badass in the ring.
Rodtang is by far the most entertaining fighter ive ever seen
That fight with Tenshin was off the chain!!!
Rodtang is the kind of fighter who wants a fight that,in his case, will make Buddha bow to his skill. He embodies what Muay Thai was built on strength, courage, skill and determination.
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
This man is a complete package super talented and unconditional love for the sport
The fact he doesn't show any sign of fear is insane. He fights like he knows he will win every time.
i love how he not abusing his tackiness but uses it to trait efficiently. After doing enough damage he evades attacks very well.
OMG this guy exists? This is so amazing! Legend on the making!
Excellent video.
Rodtang was way too scary to deal with. To be young and in beast mode....
Incredible young man, wish him all the best and a long career!
lmao if u think this reckless fighting style gets u a long career ur mistaken. he is very impressive and fun to watch but he will have horrendous brain damage by 35
he already has a long career with over 300 fights.
sadly getting this much damage to your head is very bad... he's amazing, i wish him to live to 100 years and still be moving and dancing like he does with his family and loved ones, but i dont see it, it will catch up so fast to him especially since he just eats the shots. it's both amazing and really sad.
After his career he will be dangerous to be around with the CTE lol
Woah, did not know he was only 25, total badass
Hunger on the ring
Humble outside of the ring
People Love his personality and his attitude 👍👍
It's amazing how no one got knocked out with his fight with Tenshin. Those hits looked so deadly
I’m more surprised after all that and being undefeated bro was just folded in boxing against mayweather like he never had a fight 😂
@@keseanlee523 That fight was 100% rigged. Tenshin got his name out to the world & a nice payday, Floyd kept his "record". Ofc fighting a big name like Floyd, there has to be conditions met behind the scene.
25:36 looks like Tenshin's signature move, to mock his backpedaling opponent 🤣
Lightweight
The fight with Tenshin was in Japan. As always with every non-Japanese fighters in Japan, they cheated. You won't see Japanese fighters going anywhere much outside their own country where they have referees' full supports and backups.
Always reliable judges 😂 Great to see more eyes on lesser known promotions. Gotta love Ironman for his skill and respect.
15:07 He thought he was the winner lmao. The change on his face thou
All of that but feel sorry for him after he reach 35-40 years old. He made a history and became a legend. He will be forever respected by muay thai community, and viewers.
Luckily in 20 years we might have the medical technology to fix what may be to come
He'll probably still be fighting in big matches then😂 Machito born in Brazil by a Japanese family is still fighting at 47 and ranked😅
And he actually doesn't take many hard hits with his elusiveness. I'm curious how many times he has been knocked out in 300 or so matches now😂
@@ashenmoonclash i mean he might be still fighting but his body systems had already damages.
@@idontlag8454 Sorry to say this.. Poor people like them are fighting just to survive.. Archivement is bonus.. I hope my statement is not misunderstood
21:34 was crazy bro he probably had never seen someone take such a beating and keep going he had mad respect for that
you need to see Jacob smith Vs rodtang then
Thanks a lot from New Zealand! 🇳🇿
This guy is the definition of being "Built Different"
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.
Very few people are destined to be a legend. He is clearly a legend.
No trash talk, insane discipline, full of respect, and doesn't get knocked down, and best entertainer in the ring.
Well, he will disrespect the people who keep trying to run from him in the ring... but who can blame him?
When someone hits you and you laugh and "mock" the hit. That is not respect, it's being a punk. Rodtang does that alot, and he is lucky he doesn't get a straight kick to his jaw, or a jumping knee to the face while he brags.
@@ToG408 he does get hit while showboating regularly. Doesn't phase him one bit. There's multiple clips of it in this very video lmao
He just has an insane chin that's all
@@ToG408 forgot the name of the fighter who fought him.But his straight kick full of power on Rodtang neck,Rodtang kept moving forward without stopping.that fighter is white and wear blue pants hahaha
dunno... honestly he talk like a little asshole, he is convinced he is the strongest man in the world like the Thais in general... he was convinced he was also going to cut Demetrius to pieces xD just lol
He will become One of the Greatest Fighters of All Time for sure!👌
Mighty Mouse beat him. He cant beat Mighty Mouse.
@@btnhstillfireLets be real now if all those rounds were Muay Thai then Rodtang would dominate. Let's not discredit his achievements at such a young age.
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!
That block from the spinning elbow, then return to sender elbow for the knock out.😮😮😮
