‘I Want To Fight Rodtang’ – Asadula Imangazaliev Eyes Potential World Grand Prix Final Against ‘The Iron Man’
The unbeaten flyweight king welcomes the opportunity to face the Thai megastar.
Asadula "The Dagestan Ninja" Imangazaliev, reigning ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World Champion, has expressed his desire to face former flyweight division ruler Rodtang "The Iron Man" Jitmuangnon in the upcoming 2026-2027 ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World Grand Prix. The undefeated Dagestani is set to defend his title against Aslamjon "El Pantera" Ortikov in a quarterfinal rematch at The Inner Circle 39 on November 20.
If Rodtang advances to the semifinals, Imangazaliev would have the opportunity to fight the "Iron Man" in the Grand Prix final, a matchup that could feature two generations of Muay Thai greatness. However, Imangazaliev is prepared to face anyone in the tournament, as the competition's star-studded bracket holds no guarantees.
