Rodtang's wife just revealed his celebrity crush to the world!
In February 2023, 'The Iron Man' married fellow Muay Thai fighter Aida Looksaikongdin. Since then, the two have produced content together on social media — much of it resulting in a series of hilariously adorable moments between the two.
During a recent video featuring the beloved couple, Rodtang's better half outed him by revealing his secret celebrity crush.
“When you forgot to coordinate 😂 Can Rodtang hold onto his ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World Title belt, or will Jacob Smith seize it at ONE 169?”
As it turns out, Rodtang's secret crush is Baifern Pimchanok, a famous Thai actress and model.
Reacting to the video, fight fans had a field day in the comments while poking some harmless fun at the ONE flyweight Muay Thai world champion:
"I could watch them for hours😂😂so lovely😍❤"
"He wrote his wife’s name because he knew what would happen to him if it was someone else’s name😂"
"Bro made her fall for the classic 1-2. Truly the goat."
"Would've been hilarious if he said Chris Hemsworth"
"My bro is hilarious he should consider doing some movies or series tho 😆 🤔"
Rodtang puts his world title on the line against Jacob Smith at ONE 169
Rodtang will be back in action on Friday, Nov. 8 when he puts his 26 pounds of ONE Championship gold on the line against the division's third-ranked contender, Jacob Smith, at ONE 169 inside the legendary Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok.
It will be the second-ever meeting between Rodtang and Smith, the first coming at ONE 157 in 2022. On that night, Smith made his promotional debut and was handily beaten by 'The Iron Man' after being battered and bloodied by an assortment of brutal elbow strikes through the three-round affair.
However, this time Smith believes he has what it takes to crack the code and become the new king of the flyweight Muay Thai division.
Fans in the United States and Canada can watch ONE 169: Malykhin vs. ‘Reug Reug’ live on Amazon Prime Video on Friday, Nov. 8 in U.S. primetime.
