I just started watching muay thai and it amazes me how relentless these fighters are. I also can't believe how ruthless and respectful the fighters are at the same time.
I don't know if calling it a striking martial art is fair. It does have lots of grappling Either way, i'd say that what makes Muay Thai great is not really it's techniques but the way it's taught/trained. Yes, their techniques are fire, but they are also present in other arts and yet Muay Thai people tend to be the best at them
This fight was unreal. Both were at an insane level. Any one of the strikes they traded would have sent any normal person home in tears. Yet Rodtang and Superlek took the beating of a lifetime and kept going forward. Gotta thank One for sharing this, it made my day.
Many many years of training, your body changes. conditioned thighs. Cant imagine how hard their shins are cus somehow they can still stand when they get checked or the kick lands wrong
The referee did a great job with helping both fighters to maintain the intensity and physical speed of the fight. He allowed the momentum to flow freely. It's always cool to see a very high standard of professional refereeing. They have a very important job to do.
100% thought Rodtang won that but that whole fight was like watching a movie with 2 Gods of old battling it out. That was a fight for the ages. What I love most with these fights though is the total lack of mouthing off. Its pure respect before, during and most of all... after the fight. Every sport could learn a thing or two from this.
I think Rodtang won that fight. The damage in the 1st round and the 2 take downs in the 3rd. In my opinion it was enough win even after he took a knock down in the 2nd round. Great fight .
It was impressive how Superlek neutralized Rodtang's striking by grabbing his elbows, but he was hugging for his life in round 3. Thought Rodtang won this.
So do you not count knee strikes? If you don't like clinch don't watch Muay Thai. Rodtang had no answer for superleks hand fighting and clinch game. He landed nearly nothing significant all of round 3 while Superlek landed dozens of knees.
Who think Rodtang should be the winner, they don’t know Muay Thai Rule and how to give a score by Muay Thai rule. Superlek is clearly a winner in this fight with his flying knee and perfect technique in this fight. Rodtang is also a beast in this fight and fight with 5lb less weight, he deserves my respect.
Absolutly!!! Bro look at them faces the one is covered in blood BREATHING heavily is so HAPPY that it was over !!! Superlek was struggling and rodtang had to warm up yet not exhausted not breathing heavily insane differences plus the knockdown wasn’t a knockdown this is insane men
And rodtang immediately starts thanking the crowd. Everything about this guy is just real man energy..and the love and respect to others that goes with it
Best fight I’ve watched this year. And believe me I watch a lot of fights. The intensity, the skills, the damages, the toughness, the mutual respect.. all at the highest level in one fight. This should be the highlight fight of ONE FC for years to come.
The united states military is using technology and manpower to protect deviant sadistic Child SAers that are misusing their access to advanced tools to spy on, harass, and forcibly SA children.This sometimes follows them into adulthood. Children that are still too young to know that what they are seeing is not normal are being exposed to disgusting deviant content that is forcibly shown to them by hacking their devices. Many victims may not even know they have been targeted by this, because the majority of the actual SA happens when they are slipped something that incapacitates them or they are asleep, the only reason they might know is because the perpetrator may leave behind physical evidence, like bruises, scratches, or bodily fluids. If a victim discovers what has happened to them these worms will misuse equipment and manpower to stalk, shame, mock, and generally try to make the lives of the people affected by this as hellish as possible both offline and online. They follow victims in person and try to intimidate or harass them. They generally use different people who act as though they aren't affiliated with each other and don't do anything they can be arrested for at the time of the harassment. They think they can shame and mock their victims into silence because some of what happens is coerced. These are depraved cowards that gather in groups to harass solitary women and children just to protect deviant SAers. They harass the victims to try to instigate a violent reaction that they can be locked up for. This is a strategy they have used for decades against enemies in different contexts, only the child SAers use it to try to get rid of victims using advanced military technology like weaponized AI
In this match Rodtang should have won, because every punch he hit was on target in Superlek's face, whereas Superlek only showed energy and movements that seemed wild but were only tricks and not on target. The Superlek game, like a chicken that is gasping for air, doesn't look like a real fighter, likes to hug the rodtang and hold the rodtang's elbows, that's just a style technique. The judges have made a mistake in deciding the winner in this match. The judge deserves to be fired because he is incompetent, after all, he is not good at scoring, the judges cannot see the side of martial arts and punches that are on target, that's serious, just fire him, that's a shame. Superlek should be embarrassed to win, and the judges should be embarrassed to give victory to someone who is only good at tricks and looks like a beast, but is not on target hahahaha
@@syukuridol i think the knock down Superlek scored was legit. Whatever trick he pulled to wow the judges it worked. Rodtang would win in a street fight he’s done more damages but here you need to impress the judges.
This was an epic battle between two warriors that leaves you on the edge of your seat for 3 rounds!! The respect they have for one another is obvious. This is a must watch!
ואוו... זה עצוב לי לראות את זה כי בטח זה צריך להיות מכה בעוצמה ממש חזקה כדי לגרום לדימום ממקום קשה כ''כ.. זה נראה כואב ממש. ולמה לא מדביקים את זה שניה או משהו כזה? זה מפריעה לו לראות...@@doniii4038
@@LeoChanlch rodtang had round 1, in muaythai if you cut ur opponent, Judges will favour you more. But also in muaythai knee kick score more than punches. That why rodtang lose. Rodtang had 1st round, 2-3 round for superlek. Tbh superlek too big for rodtang. He missed weight and still fight 2.2kg overweight
The energy from the crowd is truly amazing and can be felt through the screen. This was legendary! Both true warriors. I think Rodtang won but Superlek got that knockdown 😮 what a fight!!!! Watching from Florida US
Here’s the biggest thing that a lot of people seem to be missing: This is Muay Thai in Thailand. The Thais have a completely different scoring criteria. Punches mean absolutely nothing in Muay Thai (unless you KO your opponent with a punch). It’s all about the clinch, knees, kicks, and elbows. Yes Rodtang cut Superlek open, but Superlek didn’t show that he was visibly hurt (unlike in America, they will not stop fights due to cuts). Superlek also landed more solid kicks, and more knees in the clinch (both of which score extremely high), and was able to shut down a lot of Rodtangs punches by hand fighting. Not to mention Superlek had that big knockdown in round 2 (for those arguing against it: the rules say that if contact is made, and a fighter goes down, it’s a knockdown. Doesn’t matter if the fighter is hurt or not), so Rodtang would’ve had to have a HUGE 3rd round, just to make it even. Which he did not. The one thing Rodtang did better than Superlek was constant forward motion. So I would’ve loved to see a 5 rounder. Such an incredible fight nonetheless.
Yes the tosses can win rounds but this fight only being 3 rounds an no clinch allowed I'm assuming that coz ref kept breaking clinch so don't know how they scoring this one. It looked to me superlwk holding on for his life at the end. 5 rounds I'd like to see
Super lek was visibly overweight also in third round he kept hugging rotdang and hold his hands all over the round...he was hanging on for dear life in that third round... In a 5 round he would definitely lose he was already done in third round he survived that by hugging him and holding his hands
It was 2:1 but under MT rules, the knockdown (and it was a legit knockdown) means that one round was 10-8, therefore when they are equal on score, the fighter that has the knockdown on an equal score wins. I was impressed by both, I think Rodtang can win a rematch if Lek is actually the same weight
What the other guy said about the scoring was correct. In MT rules, kicks and knees are worth more than punches, as well as how clean the technique looked. I would say Superlek scored more kicks in the first round, which probably gave him the edge. Funny enough though, I asked a ref in Thailand once, and he said judges look at the fight as a whole, rather than round by round. You can have quite a few interesting decisions that way. OneFC has probably made sure that doesn't happen
How they lived up to their nicknames in this fight is crazy. Rodtang, despite him being lighter, was less exhausted/injured because he's the iron man. On the other hand, Superlek kneed and kicked his way to victory because he's the kicking machine. Such legends❤
@@liamneslind5708 Huh? Rodtang is the smaller one. He landed more hits and definitely had better stamina than superlek. Superlek was clinching his way through the end of the 2nd round and 3rd round to catch his breathe.
@@ajz2436Rodtang didn't look tired but are you blind or something? Are you not seeing the big knees Superlek was throwing in the clinch? Also the kicks he's landing, are you not seeing them? Rodtang barely scored after the first round
@@kermit1211 Are you seeing superlek transition from throwing hits to clinching? He's throwing heavy kicks and knees in his clinch as well, but look at the rate of it. It decreased DRASTICALLY after the 2nd round and you could CLEARLY see him catching his breath by clinching a lot. what r u on?
@@grindmonster8373knees and kicks got Superlek the win it’s not that hard to see. I think Rodtangs front leg was hurt so he relied on close range to get into sweeps. Wasn’t enough.
I’ve never seen anyone mention this about Rodtang, but this is what I think truly makes the dude so good. His “distancing” is absolutely insane. It’s extremely rare for him to be out of range for whatever he throws. He’s incredibly good at knowing his range and mirroring his opponent’s movement if his opponent steps back he moves forward or vice versa while the opponent moves forward. For anyone that trains a striking art will tell you how hard it is to learn your reach of your legs and hands.
@@botog2499 everyone looks over it and I truly feel that’s what separates him from the majority or fighters. Learning your range and how to stay in that pocket is incredibly difficult to do let alone be as consistent as Rodtang is at it.
That is so real, man. I do muay thai for 8-9 month now and I have so much trouble with the distancing. It's what seems to be the hardest to me aint gonna lie. Finding the correct distance, closing or expanding the distance is so seriously hard and every respect to Rodtang and every muay thai fighter!!!
@@JázminKlecskó anyone that does combat sports even boxing. That’s always the hardest thing to learn in my opinion. Knows your distance takes an enormous amount of hours to even grasp it a little let alone always be at the right distance like Rodtang.
what makes distancing so hard to me is that 1. you have to have an almost robotic muscle memory with your technique to be able to land it everytime with precisely the same distance, and 2. you can only "sense" the distance, there is nothing more than your depth perspective telling you how far your target is. you can extend your arm to kinda "rule" the distance but it is not exact. throw into the mix the fact that most of people outside of professional athletes will train the majority of time with heavy bags and pads, always on static targets, and we end up training the least one of the hardest things to master
Superlek looked like an entirely different weight class in there. Crazy to me that Rodtang was able to do what he did and still have more gas in the tank at the end of the fight despite a bigger man leaning on him the whole time. Great fight.
An easy 15lbs between them on the night i would bet. Two weight classes difference although the decision was always going to go this way if it went the distance for those running the gambling books.
Its such a shame that ONE never turn the lights on in the crowd so we can see how big and crazy they go, especially in Lumpinee. Because they sound absolutly crazy during muay thai fights.
I don't think so! Fights like this one where the one who inflicted more damage and dominated the fight loss. It was happened to ham vs Zamboanga before, as well as to Christian Lee vs Ok Rae Eon before.
I just started watching this stuff because i heard about rodtang and i am addicted now lol. I love any type of combat sports and this stuff is really entertaining to watch
I'm starting to think Rodtang is not human i think he is some type of cyborg or something the guy is an absaloute beast OneFc Muay Thai has hands down become my favrioute combat sport to watch ever and i cant believe i'm saying this bc Boxing has always been my passion but these muay thai fights with the mma gloves is something else man
It's like they really want to kill each other but there isn't the slightest ounce of brawling, it's razor sharp technique at lightning speeds. Truly insane. I do my own thing but wen i saw how fast these men throw i understand why they are the best in the world.
Recently broke my hand in a muay thai sparring. Just watching this made me excited to get back into training. Too bad I have to wait another 3 months. Long live to the kings Superlek and Rodtang!
How is muay thai? I’m doing boxing bc i can’t stand the thought of being elbowed in the face and accidentally kneed in the balls lol. Is it as brutal as it sounds?
I was a lifelong boxer, just started muay thai four months ago - totally different game. I went in thinking "boxing plus kicks, can do!" But nah dude it is absolutely more brutal than boxing. Different footwork, different punching techniques, it's a ton of fun and boxing will give you some excellent fundamentals but muay thai is far more complicated and quite frankly.. way more painful 😅 awesome sport though, give it a try!
@@Mutantdogfangsyou always have ball‘s Protection on When doing muay thai 😂👀and for beginners you will have protection on your elbows until youre ready for a Fight with Full muay Thai rules (without any gear) if you want to
You really shouldn't worry about being elbowed in the face. Stuff like that never just happen in training, unless you agree to it beforehand of course or get very advanced perhaps.
I have watched this fight over and over and outside of Rodtang being dropped I'm finding it hard to think that Superlek won. I wouldn't outright deny he won but I'm not so convinced that was a clear win. Amazing fight card and main event is one for the history books. Rematch!!!
@@armaanb.6566 Superlek only got the one knock down that had a big crowd reaction, but after that Rodtang took him down like 3 times and the crowd didnt seem to care as much, maybe that influenced the judges
It was an absolute BANGER, Superlek looked significantly bigger, but Rodtang had some nasty elbows. I’m not familiar with the scoring, but I thought Rodtang looked better overall.
I think if added 1 round more or the fighting without referee, Superleck might died. Superleck having out of breath, but Rodtang still fit. The kick from superlek had no effect on Rodtang. I dont know how the jury committee scored this fighting so superlek becomes the winner??
@@ibradenis1351 It is because this is Muay Thai, not kickboxing, Kicks, and knees score more points that punches. Superlek neutralized Rodtang hand with his clinch and Knees. its called Muay Khao style, clinch in Muay Thai is very techincal and is part of the fight. The only fighters that beat Seanchai (Muat thai GOAT) used this clinch fighting to neutralize strickes
@@sebamtorres Yes!!! Today Rodtang just joking to the Thai fans that Superlek is a bad big brother because he didn't even let him(his younger brother) won even one round, And Rodtang also said to his Thai fans that he lost to all 3 rounds and have a lot of work to do and he really upset about that. 😊😊😊
i think it’s because rodtang did win 1 and 3 ... i understand superlek had good kicks, knees, elbows but they weren’t all landing ... rodtang didn’t just open him up with 1 elbow, he had kicks of his own, elbows, and punches ... he def won round 1 and round 3 was close because how well superlek did at the end of the round but rodtang still edged it ... round 2 rodtang was gonna lose but the kd is what would’ve made it a draw but because of thai scoring i think they favored the knockdown more than the damage
Honestly Rodtang's toughness is insane. You can see Superlek just hanging on to survive the last round. Rodtang looked like he could do 10 more rounds. Points-wise due to the second round knockdown, Superlek won but if they were to actually brawl it out for real, it would be Rodtang who would have walked out of that ring alive
Idk about that last part. Superlek was dominating rodtang in the clitch. And rodtang only ever got out of it by the ref. If that was a no holds bar brawl. I think superlek wins by just keeping him in the clinch and kneeing him to oblivion
this was unexpected, but superlek clearly won in points, he had kicks and knees on his arsenal and rodtang relied on his punches and elbows. superlek had more points because there are times when he kept kicking and rodtang is just standing and he kept kneeing while on clinch
You know superlek was a tough opponent when rodtang doesn’t punch himself in the face at all during the fight. Superlek also saw rodtang as a problem so he literally gave him 100 percent power. man this was such a good fight !!
It's look Rodtang give a chance to Superlek cause he didn't punch himself during the fight.. If he started serious fight I think Superlek had no chance to win.. BTW respect for Superlek, he got more point to get win by Decision cause that's only chance to win if face off with Rodtang..
I love the respect these fighters and teams have for eachother. Everything from the tapping hands, to hugging and falling to their knees. Rodtang's coach even cleaned Superleks face!
It's an entirely different attitude to any other fighting sport. This was brutal. You wouldn't want to start a fight with either guy. The amount of heavy elbow strikes to the head and chin and they both still move forward.
Because in Thai rodtang coach doesn't feel Superlek is enermy. That why they don't hate eachother. Coach feels like superlek is one of his son like rodtang. This is how thai people feel. And rodtang - Superlek feel like they are brother in Muay Thai.
@@asianconnection7701STOP IT..! I have to remind you superlek missed weight lol. For fight that labeling fight of the century by one champion is a big joke for fans. Superlek exploited that weight difference very well of course the fans thought rodtang edged it. Not only he accept the fight but also rodtang fight very well
@@asianconnection7701 HOW THE HELL do YOU THINK 5 pound is nothing for professional fighters lol, if you learn martial arts it's a huge gap especially for professional, we are talking about 5 pounds muscle mass not water lol that's why this fight turn into exhibition fight cause miss weight consider cheating, unprofessional, disrespecting rule of fight. One more thing cutting weight is hell of a battle you may lose your life, your strength, durability etc. it's effect your performance. if superlek cut that 5 pound you won't see superlek like you saw last night. So please just shuuutup if dont know nothing about it
aint no way. In terms of raw output superlek took it. He got the knockdown in rnd 2 aswell. Rodtang didn’t throw a single leg kick. Leg kicks score more than fists in muay thai. So he got outscored by alot. Although rodtang made superlek bleed on his head. And a few elbows that was really it. The weight made a difference in the clinches rodtang looked weak.
@toddmichael6889Cause Rodtang landed one really good hit on the 1st hand yet Superlek managed to hold on despite that early cut and scored a knock down on the 2nd round, plus knees are scored more, so Superlek does deserve this win and those knees did a lot of damage as well. It is just that it isn't as visible compared to the elbow but clearly Rodtang was hurt so bad.
Perhaps the best fight I've ever seen. I'm almost a pure grappling/MMA fan, rarely watch pure striking. But I'm aware these are the two best. Incredible matchup.
Just to note for those who don't know. Superlek missed weight by 5 pounds. Rodtang made weight. Cutting any type of weight affects performance. 100% Rodtang is the better muay Thai fighter. He almost won against a guy was much more nourished than him. There is no way superlek is on his level p4p
Superlek bullied him with that extra weight, he was probably 10 pounds heavier than Rodtang. Not sure how they judge rounds here but i had this draw by boxing rules 🤷♂️
Man this might be the most amazing fight i have ever seen. This is the first time i have seen Rodtang look challenged by another fighter to the point where he looks super focused every single second. Its crazy that only someone so much larger than him can do that. True beast. Both fighters did amazingly, Superlek looked great out there. Cannot believe some of the shots both fighters landed. Rodtang splitting Superleks head in R1? Woahh talk about going for the kill strategically. Superleks size advantage was so noticeable i almost felt sorry for Rodtang for being exposed to that much power, yet somehow he held his own the entire way and may have had better cardio. Gobsmacked.
Because it's against a fighter who is thai. In Thailand, Muay thai is life for most of them and they train day night like it's a full time job. Rodtang doesn't mess around with other thai fighters, both fighters know and understand the game. It's just a matter of how skilled the other opponent is and the endurance they can hold throughout The fight.
I love all Thai fighters, they are polite and respectful to their opponents. Changpuek, buakaw, saenchai, twanchai, superlek and rodtang. There is no reason to hate them
Look at the size difference , super lek missed the weight cut .Smaller in size but never in spirit .No matter the decision of the judges ..Rodtang nailed him
@@jpoelfebryan577It was the training camp of Rodtang who requested 3 rounds though even in a catch weight. They didn’t want Rodtang to fight 5 rounds knowing he was on a huge disadvantage
What a beautiful display of combat! This was one of the best fights I’ve ever seen. Everything left in the ring. I thought Rodtang won, or at worst was a draw, but I’m just happy to witness this amazing display. Props to both warriors.
You can see Superlek bouncing up and down during the clinch while his arms was on top of Rodtang's shoulders. He was taking advantage of the weight difference by putting his body weight on top of Rodtang.
The more i rewatch this match, the more i understand why the judges is in favour of superlek than rodtang. He simply have more significant strikes. Not only that, he have the big knockdown to cover up. The damage and dominance rodtang did wasn't enough to conquer superlek points
100% agree. I watched it live and thought it could have gone either way. Just watched it again for the third time and I clearly see Superlek winning 2-1. He displayed a superior skill set and landed more, especially with the kicks and knees. Rodtang just did more visible damage to the face. All the blood makes people think Rodtang won round 1 it but it was just one good elbow in a place that bleeds a lot. Superlek landed way more and generally dominated the round. I also think he edged the second round, and that's not even taking the knockdown into account (which was debatable but acceptable). Third round was actually closer than I previously thought. Seemed like Rodtang easily took it with the pressure and aggression but when you watch closely you see Superlek landed a lot too. Only reason I give it to Rodtang is because he had more in the tank (pun intended).
Superlek almost collapsed in the 3rd round from exhaustion, looking at the clock and everything, i definitely thought Rodtang won this fight and if it was a 5 round fight like it was supposed to be I don’t see how superlek would have continued for 2 more rounds after how he looked in the 3rd
He punches and kick way harder than Rodtang... He trains to fight 3 rounds, so Of Course he will empty his gas at 3 rounds, and if they schedule to fight 5 rounds then he will keep the paste for 5 round, what is so hard to understand.

Fantastic Rerformance from Rodtang, especially since his opponent missed weight
Tidak adil itu rod tangan pemenangnya taiko la
Tidak adil sama sekali buta ke
I think Rodtang won that fight. The damage in the 1st round and the 2 take downs in the 3rd. In my opinion it was enough win even after he took a knock down in the 2nd round. Great fight .
rewatching this 3rd time and I can't comprehend how I still find new details about their technique. Truly impressive!
It was impressive how Superlek neutralized Rodtang's striking by grabbing his elbows, but he was hugging for his life in round 3. Thought Rodtang won this.
So do you not count knee strikes? If you don't like clinch don't watch Muay Thai. Rodtang had no answer for superleks hand fighting and clinch game. He landed nearly nothing significant all of round 3 while Superlek landed dozens of knees.
Who think Rodtang should be the winner, they don’t know Muay Thai Rule and how to give a score by Muay Thai rule. Superlek is clearly a winner in this fight with his flying knee and perfect technique in this fight. Rodtang is also a beast in this fight and fight with 5lb less weight, he deserves my respect.
Hugging for his life? He was clinching and kneeing the fuck out of RT in R3 and totally shut down RTs punching.

Best fight I’ve watched this year. And believe me I watch a lot of fights. The intensity, the skills, the damages, the toughness, the mutual respect.. all at the highest level in one fight. This should be the highlight fight of ONE FC for years to come.

Children that are still too young to know that what they are seeing is not normal are being exposed to disgusting deviant content that is forcibly shown to them by hacking their devices.

If a victim discovers what has happened to them these worms will misuse equipment and manpower to stalk, shame, mock, and generally try to make the lives of the people affected by this as hellish as possible both offline and online. They follow victims in person and try to intimidate or harass them. They generally use different people who act as though they aren't affiliated with each other and don't do anything they can be arrested for at the time of the harassment. They think they can shame and mock their victims into silence because some of what happens is coerced. These are depraved cowards that gather in groups to harass solitary women and children just to protect deviant SAers. They harass the victims to try to instigate a violent reaction that they can be locked up for. This is a strategy they have used for decades against enemies in different contexts, only the child SAers use it to try to get rid of victims using advanced military technology like weaponized AI
In this match Rodtang should have won, because every punch he hit was on target in Superlek's face, whereas Superlek only showed energy and movements that seemed wild but were only tricks and not on target. The Superlek game, like a chicken that is gasping for air, doesn't look like a real fighter, likes to hug the rodtang and hold the rodtang's elbows, that's just a style technique. The judges have made a mistake in deciding the winner in this match. The judge deserves to be fired because he is incompetent, after all, he is not good at scoring, the judges cannot see the side of martial arts and punches that are on target, that's serious, just fire him, that's a shame. Superlek should be embarrassed to win, and the judges should be embarrassed to give victory to someone who is only good at tricks and looks like a beast, but is not on target hahahaha

Bro me too
Here’s the biggest thing that a lot of people seem to be missing:
This is Muay Thai in Thailand. The Thais have a completely different scoring criteria.
Punches mean absolutely nothing in Muay Thai (unless you KO your opponent with a punch). It’s all about the clinch, knees, kicks, and elbows. Yes Rodtang cut Superlek open, but Superlek didn’t show that he was visibly hurt (unlike in America, they will not stop fights due to cuts). Superlek also landed more solid kicks, and more knees in the clinch (both of which score extremely high), and was able to shut down a lot of Rodtangs punches by hand fighting. Not to mention Superlek had that big knockdown in round 2 (for those arguing against it: the rules say that if contact is made, and a fighter goes down, it’s a knockdown. Doesn’t matter if the fighter is hurt or not), so Rodtang would’ve had to have a HUGE 3rd round, just to make it even. Which he did not.
The one thing Rodtang did better than Superlek was constant forward motion. So I would’ve loved to see a 5 rounder. Such an incredible fight nonetheless.
excellent comments
Superlek was downed round 1 and 3…do the tosses not count?
Yes the tosses can win rounds but this fight only being 3 rounds an no clinch allowed I'm assuming that coz ref kept breaking clinch so don't know how they scoring this one. It looked to me superlwk holding on for his life at the end. 5 rounds I'd like to see
this is unfair rodtang is shorter, shorter people cant land knees and kicks efficiently and have disadantage during clinches
Super lek was visibly overweight also in third round he kept hugging rotdang and hold his hands all over the round...he was hanging on for dear life in that third round... In a 5 round he would definitely lose he was already done in third round he survived that by hugging him and holding his hands
I'm a big Rodtang fan but I think Superlek scored more points then managed the fight by avoiding a lot of hand to hand combat
I had Rodtang 2-1, but a great fight between two pioneers of Muay Thai, two absolute warriors
It was 2:1 but under MT rules, the knockdown (and it was a legit knockdown) means that one round was 10-8, therefore when they are equal on score, the fighter that has the knockdown on an equal score wins. I was impressed by both, I think Rodtang can win a rematch if Lek is actually the same weight
@@michaellandon8901 🙏appreciate that knowledge bro. I’m an MMA fan, so MT scoring im not very clear on.
? I agree with the judges
What the other guy said about the scoring was correct. In MT rules, kicks and knees are worth more than punches, as well as how clean the technique looked. I would say Superlek scored more kicks in the first round, which probably gave him the edge. Funny enough though, I asked a ref in Thailand once, and he said judges look at the fight as a whole, rather than round by round. You can have quite a few interesting decisions that way. OneFC has probably made sure that doesn't happen
So you think it was a draw?
My favorite part about Muay Thai is there respect for eachother
Me too
The winner should be Rodtang🙋
How they lived up to their nicknames in this fight is crazy. Rodtang, despite him being lighter, was less exhausted/injured because he's the iron man. On the other hand, Superlek kneed and kicked his way to victory because he's the kicking machine. Such legends❤
What??
Rodtang was gassed af. The reason he lost this for sure... He needs to work more on his stamina. Less on taking the damage
@@liamneslind5708 Huh? Rodtang is the smaller one. He landed more hits and definitely had better stamina than superlek. Superlek was clinching his way through the end of the 2nd round and 3rd round to catch his breathe.
@@ajz2436 Couldn't say it better.
@@ajz2436Rodtang didn't look tired but are you blind or something? Are you not seeing the big knees Superlek was throwing in the clinch? Also the kicks he's landing, are you not seeing them? Rodtang barely scored after the first round
@@kermit1211 Are you seeing superlek transition from throwing hits to clinching? He's throwing heavy kicks and knees in his clinch as well, but look at the rate of it. It decreased DRASTICALLY after the 2nd round and you could CLEARLY see him catching his breath by clinching a lot. what r u on?
Both showed us that they're unbelievably tough and skilled warriors. The dedication and the heart that they give to the sport is beyond human.
Rodtang lost to reward of points in the match but he won in my eyes as a really champion warrior.
Yes
no, he won in general and everybody knows it
@@grindmonster8373😢 u know nothing
You must be blind bruh. Superlek destroyed him with the knees and the leg-kicks
@@grindmonster8373knees and kicks got Superlek the win it’s not that hard to see. I think Rodtangs front leg was hurt so he relied on close range to get into sweeps. Wasn’t enough.
This is the Greatest Muay Thai Fight of All Time.
I’ve never seen anyone mention this about Rodtang, but this is what I think truly makes the dude so good. His “distancing” is absolutely insane. It’s extremely rare for him to be out of range for whatever he throws. He’s incredibly good at knowing his range and mirroring his opponent’s movement if his opponent steps back he moves forward or vice versa while the opponent moves forward. For anyone that trains a striking art will tell you how hard it is to learn your reach of your legs and hands.
ayo, facts! finally someone has mentioned it
@@botog2499 everyone looks over it and I truly feel that’s what separates him from the majority or fighters. Learning your range and how to stay in that pocket is incredibly difficult to do let alone be as consistent as Rodtang is at it.
That is so real, man. I do muay thai for 8-9 month now and I have so much trouble with the distancing. It's what seems to be the hardest to me aint gonna lie. Finding the correct distance, closing or expanding the distance is so seriously hard and every respect to Rodtang and every muay thai fighter!!!
@@JázminKlecskó anyone that does combat sports even boxing. That’s always the hardest thing to learn in my opinion. Knows your distance takes an enormous amount of hours to even grasp it a little let alone always be at the right distance like Rodtang.
what makes distancing so hard to me is that 1. you have to have an almost robotic muscle memory with your technique to be able to land it everytime with precisely the same distance, and 2. you can only "sense" the distance, there is nothing more than your depth perspective telling you how far your target is. you can extend your arm to kinda "rule" the distance but it is not exact. throw into the mix the fact that most of people outside of professional athletes will train the majority of time with heavy bags and pads, always on static targets, and we end up training the least one of the hardest things to master
Superlek looked like an entirely different weight class in there. Crazy to me that Rodtang was able to do what he did and still have more gas in the tank at the end of the fight despite a bigger man leaning on him the whole time. Great fight.
Rodtang really wanna show a real close combat fight..🥊 and here, he always struggle to get off from that bro hug🫂
An easy 15lbs between them on the night i would bet. Two weight classes difference although the decision was always going to go this way if it went the distance for those running the gambling books.
Yeah much respect to rod for fighting a weight class or two up.
i think this fight is a big draw....
If this fight in 5 round, the result would be clear that rodtang win this game.. i'm sure
It seems as if two brothers are fighting... If someone gets hurt, they're also saying sorry and makes up for it again. Truly both are legends.
Rodtang é feito de aço? Inacreditável! O cara sai intacto depois de uma luta dessa.
Rodtang is the truly hardest fighter i have seen, but superlek is insane too. Truly two warriors!

Exactly. I commented this above. 3x3 is kindergarten stuff at this level and so called "super fight".
it suppose to be a 5 rounds for championship fight but superlek didn't make weight so they changed to a normal fight 3 rounds

Amazing one
I just started watching this stuff because i heard about rodtang and i am addicted now lol. I love any type of combat sports and this stuff is really entertaining to watch
I'm starting to think Rodtang is not human i think he is some type of cyborg or something the guy is an absaloute beast OneFc Muay Thai has hands down become my favrioute combat sport to watch ever and i cant believe i'm saying this bc Boxing has always been my passion but these muay thai fights with the mma gloves is something else man
It's like they really want to kill each other but there isn't the slightest ounce of brawling, it's razor sharp technique at lightning speeds. Truly insane. I do my own thing but wen i saw how fast these men throw i understand why they are the best in the world.
U saw his eyes man damn so goodn
Boxing was always my favourite ppv until a few months ago. Now it seems almost boring compared to watching Muay Thai

Recently broke my hand in a muay thai sparring. Just watching this made me excited to get back into training. Too bad I have to wait another 3 months. Long live to the kings Superlek and Rodtang!
How is muay thai? I’m doing boxing bc i can’t stand the thought of being elbowed in the face and accidentally kneed in the balls lol. Is it as brutal as it sounds?
I was a lifelong boxer, just started muay thai four months ago - totally different game. I went in thinking "boxing plus kicks, can do!" But nah dude it is absolutely more brutal than boxing. Different footwork, different punching techniques, it's a ton of fun and boxing will give you some excellent fundamentals but muay thai is far more complicated and quite frankly.. way more painful 😅 awesome sport though, give it a try!
@@Mutantdogfangsyou always have ball‘s Protection on When doing muay thai 😂👀and for beginners you will have protection on your elbows until youre ready for a Fight with Full muay Thai rules (without any gear) if you want to

Get well soon! How did you break your hand?
I have watched this fight over and over and outside of Rodtang being dropped I'm finding it hard to think that Superlek won. I wouldn't outright deny he won but I'm not so convinced that was a clear win. Amazing fight card and main event is one for the history books. Rematch!!!

It was an absolute BANGER, Superlek looked significantly bigger, but Rodtang had some nasty elbows. I’m not familiar with the scoring, but I thought Rodtang looked better overall.

Superleck having out of breath, but Rodtang still fit.
The kick from superlek had no effect on Rodtang.
I dont know how the jury committee scored this fighting so superlek becomes the winner??
@@ibradenis1351 It is because this is Muay Thai, not kickboxing, Kicks, and knees score more points that punches. Superlek neutralized Rodtang hand with his clinch and Knees. its called Muay Khao style, clinch in Muay Thai is very techincal and is part of the fight. The only fighters that beat Seanchai (Muat thai GOAT) used this clinch fighting to neutralize strickes
@@sebamtorres Yes!!! Today Rodtang just joking to the Thai fans that Superlek is a bad big brother because he didn't even let him(his younger brother) won even one round, And Rodtang also said to his Thai fans that he lost to all 3 rounds and have a lot of work to do and he really upset about that. 😊😊😊
i think it’s because rodtang did win 1 and 3 ... i understand superlek had good kicks, knees, elbows but they weren’t all landing ... rodtang didn’t just open him up with 1 elbow, he had kicks of his own, elbows, and punches ... he def won round 1 and round 3 was close because how well superlek did at the end of the round but rodtang still edged it ... round 2 rodtang was gonna lose but the kd is what would’ve made it a draw but because of thai scoring i think they favored the knockdown more than the damage
Honestly Rodtang's toughness is insane. You can see Superlek just hanging on to survive the last round. Rodtang looked like he could do 10 more rounds. Points-wise due to the second round knockdown, Superlek won but if they were to actually brawl it out for real, it would be Rodtang who would have walked out of that ring alive
yes, totally agreed.
The issue here is that, he only has a superleg, when he gets his superpunch, superknees and super elbows, he might beat The rod.
Idk about that last part. Superlek was dominating rodtang in the clitch. And rodtang only ever got out of it by the ref. If that was a no holds bar brawl. I think superlek wins by just keeping him in the clinch and kneeing him to oblivion
@@tmhkwootnessy252u punny bro
Agreed. Rodtang the beast 🫡
The fight was epic and legendary but I was pretty confident that Rodtang won.
this was unexpected, but superlek clearly won in points, he had kicks and knees on his arsenal and rodtang relied on his punches and elbows. superlek had more points because there are times when he kept kicking and rodtang is just standing and he kept kneeing while on clinch

sports should bring out the best in people. but then you got cancer sports like basketball and football that do the opposite.

It's an entirely different attitude to any other fighting sport. This was brutal. You wouldn't want to start a fight with either guy. The amount of heavy elbow strikes to the head and chin and they both still move forward.
Because in Thai rodtang coach doesn't feel Superlek is enermy. That why they don't hate eachother. Coach feels like superlek is one of his son like rodtang. This is how thai people feel. And rodtang - Superlek feel like they are brother in Muay Thai.

aint no way. In terms of raw output superlek took it. He got the knockdown in rnd 2 aswell. Rodtang didn’t throw a single leg kick. Leg kicks score more than fists in muay thai. So he got outscored by alot. Although rodtang made superlek bleed on his head. And a few elbows that was really it. The weight made a difference in the clinches rodtang looked weak.

Just to note for those who don't know. Superlek missed weight by 5 pounds. Rodtang made weight. Cutting any type of weight affects performance. 100% Rodtang is the better muay Thai fighter. He almost won against a guy was much more nourished than him. There is no way superlek is on his level p4p
Excuses 😂 dude lost stop crying
You have to congratulate them both for this fight. The best fight I've ever seen in my life


Superlek has always had a higher prestige than Rodtang… just cos rodtang is popular, doesn’t make him the P4P best.
Unanimous decision.... SUPER lek
Superlek bullied him with that extra weight, he was probably 10 pounds heavier than Rodtang.
Not sure how they judge rounds here but i had this draw by boxing rules 🤷♂️
Man this might be the most amazing fight i have ever seen. This is the first time i have seen Rodtang look challenged by another fighter to the point where he looks super focused every single second. Its crazy that only someone so much larger than him can do that. True beast.
Both fighters did amazingly, Superlek looked great out there. Cannot believe some of the shots both fighters landed. Rodtang splitting Superleks head in R1? Woahh talk about going for the kill strategically.
Superleks size advantage was so noticeable i almost felt sorry for Rodtang for being exposed to that much power, yet somehow he held his own the entire way and may have had better cardio.
Gobsmacked.
Because it's against a fighter who is thai. In Thailand, Muay thai is life for most of them and they train day night like it's a full time job. Rodtang doesn't mess around with other thai fighters, both fighters know and understand the game. It's just a matter of how skilled the other opponent is and the endurance they can hold throughout The fight.

The french guy he fought actually out scored him in the earlier rounds so rodtang had to clinch to get the wictory so he has had some tough fights

Virei fã de superlek!!!!!!! I Love you superlek!!!!!
I watched this fight in the middle of class, there were so many times that I almost screamed because of how wild this fight was.
❤
Bro's got balls of steel doing this
I love all Thai fighters, they are polite and respectful to their opponents.
Changpuek, buakaw, saenchai, twanchai, superlek and rodtang. There is no reason to hate them
Look at the size difference , super lek missed the weight cut .Smaller in size but never in spirit .No matter the decision of the judges ..Rodtang nailed him
No he lost, move on. I know it's hard to accept a loss 🤭🤫🤫🤡
lost bcos the advantage missing 5 lbs, and 5 round to 3 round.
yeah 2.5 kgs would make so much difference in size comparison lol
@@jpoelfebryan577It was the training camp of Rodtang who requested 3 rounds though even in a catch weight. They didn’t want Rodtang to fight 5 rounds knowing he was on a huge disadvantage
What a beautiful display of combat! This was one of the best fights I’ve ever seen. Everything left in the ring. I thought Rodtang won, or at worst was a draw, but I’m just happy to witness this amazing display. Props to both warriors.
You can see Superlek bouncing up and down during the clinch while his arms was on top of Rodtang's shoulders. He was taking advantage of the weight difference by putting his body weight on top of Rodtang.
Great insight,that's very true and strategically smart on his part,love Rodtang though,still my favorite. Want to see a rematch.
no, hes trying to keep rodtang from establishing a strong body lock its a defensive move

ya always hanging n hug rodtang how boxing gonna be
Do you even train? Do you know how a clinch works? Do you even know Superlek clinches are his best weapon or did the cauliflower not give it away?
The more i rewatch this match, the more i understand why the judges is in favour of superlek than rodtang. He simply have more significant strikes. Not only that, he have the big knockdown to cover up. The damage and dominance rodtang did wasn't enough to conquer superlek points
100% agree. I watched it live and thought it could have gone either way. Just watched it again for the third time and I clearly see Superlek winning 2-1. He displayed a superior skill set and landed more, especially with the kicks and knees. Rodtang just did more visible damage to the face. All the blood makes people think Rodtang won round 1 it but it was just one good elbow in a place that bleeds a lot. Superlek landed way more and generally dominated the round. I also think he edged the second round, and that's not even taking the knockdown into account (which was debatable but acceptable). Third round was actually closer than I previously thought. Seemed like Rodtang easily took it with the pressure and aggression but when you watch closely you see Superlek landed a lot too. Only reason I give it to Rodtang is because he had more in the tank (pun intended).
@@kieranrankie203totaly agree with you and lucky you that got to see that fight live im very jealous you got tickets.
Superlek almost collapsed in the 3rd round from exhaustion, looking at the clock and everything, i definitely thought Rodtang won this fight and if it was a 5 round fight like it was supposed to be I don’t see how superlek would have continued for 2 more rounds after how he looked in the 3rd
Because he emptied his tank as it was a 3 round fight. What’s so hard to undertake about it
No he was trying to get away from clinch range, and he poured it on in the las 10 seconds, got the only 8 count.
He punches and kick way harder than Rodtang... He trains to fight 3 rounds, so Of Course he will empty his gas at 3 rounds, and if they schedule to fight 5 rounds then he will keep the paste for 5 round, what is so hard to understand.
@@majestytdhe did train for 5. The reason it was 3 is because he missed weight
Bruh again I'm just gonna say it superlek won this fight easy. I'm a rodtang fan but superlek takes the win no doubt
