Rodtang ONE Fight Night 6

‘The Iron Man’ Rodtang Jitmuangnon stepped away from his typical sport, of Muay Thai, and fought in a Kickboxing battle last night at ONE Fight Night 6. The Thai-born athlete was able to batter ‘The Eagle of Yi’ Jiduo Yibu to earn a unanimous decision win.

Rodtang wants ONE gold in Kickboxing

At ONE Fight Night 6, the ONE Flyweight Kickboxing World Champion Ilias Ennahachi was originally booked to defend his throne against Thailand’s Superlek and Rodtang was to fight Daniel Puertas. Due to weight issues, Ennahachi dropped out of the fight and vacated his world title. Puertas was then moved to fight Superlek for the vacant kickboxing title, and ‘The Iron Man’ was then to fight China’s Jiduo Yibu. Both ‘The Iron Man’ and Superlek won their bouts.

‘The Iron Man’ Rodtang has made his intentions clear, he wants a world title in kickboxing and then MMA. Superlek and ‘The Iron Man’ nearly fought last year during the ONE Muay Thai Grand Prix. Due to weight issues, ‘The Iron Man’ was unable to compete in the tournament. Superlek vs Rodtang is a fight combat sports fans have been demanding. Both are phenoms in Muay Thai, and the two may fight for a kickboxing world title later this year.

‘The Iron Man’ is only 25-year-old has earned a whopping 270 career victories and holds the ONE flyweight Muay Thai world title. The Thai athlete began his Muay Thai career when he was only 7 years old as a way to support his family. ‘The Kicking Machine’ Superlek Kiatmoo9, the ONE Flyweight Kickboxing World Champion, began his professional career at the age of 8 and has since earned a record of 131-29.

Superlek and Rodtang are on a collision course. The two Thai strikers will likely fight for the Kickboxing throne in 2023.

Stamp Fairtex ONE Fight Night 6

ONE Championship superstar Stamp Fairtex has had a whirlwind of a week leading up to her fight at ONE Fight Night 6. She was originally booked against former GLORY World Champion Anissa Meksen, but reportedly due to an illness the French-Algerian fighter did not show up for the press conference or weigh-ins.

‘Supergirl’ Anna Jaroonsak was set to face Ekaterina Vandaryeva, but the Belarusian ‘Barbie’ just slightly missed weight. Due to these sudden events, ONE Championship was able to book Supergirl against Stamp Fairtex in a kickboxing fight at the last minute.

The Thai-born Stamp was able to out-point Supergirl in a closely fought match. Supergirl is a Muay Thai based fighter with a size and weight advantage over her Thai-born opponent. See below for highlights:

Stamp Fairtex earns a split decision win at ONE Fight Night 6

Stamp Fairtex is a threat in three sports. Before she was even 23 years old, she captured world titles in ONE Championship in both Kickboxing and Muay Thai. As she switched her focus to MMA, she was able to earn a Grand Prix world title by way of submission in the finals. This would earn her the top contender position against atomweight queen Angela Lee. Despite the back-and-forth fight, Stamp was stopped via submission in her world title attempt.

Earning ONE gold in MMA, Kickboxing, and Muay Thai is still very much in the plans for Stamp. While in an interview with Tim Wheaton, she mapped out her future plans. She said:

“In five years I think I’d still be around. Hopefully, I’ll be having three of my titles, and also I’ll be defending the titles. And also in 10 years, I would be 35 so two ways – either I’ll be a trainer in another country, or I’ll just do some gardening and not really be into martial arts.”

Critiquing the ability of the aforenoted, Tate, who previously enjoyed a career as a professional career, Johnson admitted that while the controversial social media influencer is a legitimate kickboxer, some of his flaws are quite noticeable.

“(Andrew Tate has) awesome distance, getting nice and low, got that boxing stance – (Andrew) Tate’s legit when it comes to kickboxing,” Demetrious Johnson said in a video posted on his official YouTube channel. “The only thing I’ll say bad about Tate is (he’s) pawing like a bear, like a panda bear.” (Transcribed by Essentially Sports)

Footage has emerged of former kickboxing champion, Andrew Tate “predicting” his arrest in Romania, following his recent “cancellation” across social media, after reports emerged this Thursday night detailing how the American-born social commentor, along with his brother had been arrested for alleged human trafficking.

Tate, 36, along with his brother, Tristan Tate, were arrested this Thursday night at an apartment in Romania following an investigation of alleged human trafficking in relation to the controversial brothers.

The Washington, D.C.-born Tate, along with his brother, Tristan, were both questioned by police in Romania back in April of this year in relation to a report that two girls were held against their will. Both Andrew and Tristan Tate were released by police amid the ongoing investigation, however, have been detained tonight in connection to an investigation regarding alleged human trafficking and rape. 

Andrew Tate has been accused of predicting his own arrest in Romania

Tate, who spent his early years in Luton, England, is currently investigated by the Directorate for Investigating Organized Crime and Terrorism, with reports in Romania – where Tate is a resident, claiming he and his brother, Tristan, are being questioned on suspicion of forming an organized crime group which procure girls to star in adult films and videos. 

In a statement provided by a spokesperson for Andrew Tate to the Daily Mirror, the statement confirms the siblings will “always assist and help in any way they can.”

“We cannot provide any details at the moment regarding alleged reports that they have been detained; however, Andrew and Tristan Tate have the utmost respect for the Romanian authorities and will always assist and help in any way they can.” 

In a tweet posted by Nelk Boys member, Kyle Forgeard – the YouTuber claimed Tate himself predicted his own arrest during a recent podcast appearance on the channel.

“So, the truth is this – I knew it was coming – I absolutely knew it was coming, because of how orchestrated it was,” Andrew Tate said. “The only thing – and I’ll state this at the beginning, why I was upset that I was cancelled, was because I expired one of my lives. First, you get cancelled, and then they make up a reason to put you in jail. If that fails, they ill you.”

“Now I’m down to my last two lives,” Andrew Tate explained. “So while I’m answering this question, I’m still being careful how I’m answering it. They’ve now given me the warning. And I’m still running my mouth. So that’s scary. But, here’s how cancellation works. I knew it was going to happen – ‘cause it’s very, very orchestrated attacks.” 

A former kickboxer, Tate, who rose to prominence across social media this year, has been continually linked with professional boxing matches against both YouTuber, Jake Paul, and musician, KSI in recent months.

The UFC middleweight world champion ‘Poatan’ Alex Pereira recently showed off some of his sharp kickboxing skills when he sparred with GLORY Kickboxing light heavyweight fighter Clyde Brunswijk.

It paid off, as this year he earned the UFC middleweight title with a knockout win against Israel Adesanya.

The Brazilian middleweight striker Pereira was recently filmed sparring against light heavyweight kickboxer Clyde Brunswijk. See below for the full video:

Alex Pereira spars Clyde Brunswijk

Despite the Surinamese-Dutch Clyde Brunswijk fighting at light heavyweight, the middleweight Alex Pereira appears to have a size advantage over the kickboxer. In their sparring match, ‘Poatan’ appears to be getting the better of Brunswijk. On Instagram, the light heavyweight fighter thanked Pereira for the sparring rounds.

Brunswijk and Pereira sparred at the Days Gym in Almere, Netherlands. The Days Gym also hosts such notable fighters as GLORY lightweight world champion Tyjani Beztati. Plus rising stars such as Brandon Fos who has gone 6-0 in ENFUSION.

The sparring must have helped Brunswijk as he went on to win against Fatih Ulusoy at ENFUSION 117 on December 16. For the year 2022, the light heavyweight kickboxer has gone 2-1 between GLORY and ENFUSION. His most notable win was a TKO stoppage over Muhammed Balli at GLORY Rivals 2.

Overall in professional kickboxing, the Surinamese-Dutch Clyde Brunswijk has earned a record of 55-9-1.
