The second ONE Championship match of Rodtang Jitmuangnon happened in January 2019 at ONE: Hero's Ascent in front of the packed Mall of Asia Arena crowd in Manila, Philippines.
The world's largest martial arts organization recently republished the full fight replay of their flyweight Muay Thai clash, and they wrote in the video's description:
"Rodtang defends his ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World Title in a rematch with British powerhouse Jacob Smith at ONE 169. Before the striking duo meet again, relive "The Iron Man's" three-round thriller with Tunisian striking star Fahdi Khaled at ONE: HERO'S ASCENT in 2019!"
The Jitmuangnon Gym representative wasted no time and immediately pressured Khaled onto his back foot. This immense aggression of 'Iron Man' has instantly paid dividends because he scored an early knockdown in the match with a left kick straight to his head.
Khaled had a better second round against Rodtang, but the Thai's pressure was still on, and he still ate a lot of power shots from him.
In the third and final round, the reigning ONE flyweight Muay Thai world champion finished what he started and continued to brutalize 'The Gladiator' with his vicious punches and leg kicks.
Ultimately, Rodtang secured the unanimous decision victory and picked up his second win in the promotion.

Five years after that inducible performance against Khaled, Rodtang has accumulated a 15-2 record in ONE Championship, including multiple successful world title defenses of his 26-pound golden belt.
Now, he is ramping up the preparation for his second meeting against British star and current No. 3-ranked divisional contender Jacob Smith in the co-main event of ONE 169 on Nov. 8, which will take place inside the legendary Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.
