They need to bring this guy around the world. One of the most exciting fighters to watch right now.
Hey weasel , I’m a relatively newer mma fan since I started watching the UFC in Jan 2021 , watching your videos has helped me understand and appreciate the sport better so thank you for that . I have two questions for you -
1. Who would you pick in prime gsp vs current top 5 welterweights and middleweights ?
2. Since there are a lot of fighters in the UFC who are specialists in certain disciplines , do you think there may be a possibility where some of them could excel in those martial arts once they hang up their ufc gloves ( example - Charles oliviera winning an ADCC championship or Max Holloway or Mcgregor winning a boxing title )
Rodtang makes reads like a supercomputer! Absolute GOLD! His stardom will grow now he is in the USA market.
check out his fight with tenshin nasakawa, it's a banger. questionable judging but a great fight
Honestly bro I’ve been advocating for you to do more One Championship breakdowns instead of just only UFC. shed some light onto these other fighters they deserve it. I get it.. you’re trying to grow your channel with the UFC fan base but I’ve been watching your channel for a while now and you need to expand your knowledge to other ventures to grow more hopefully this card makes you switch it up more. Wishing you success mayn.
Rodtang is a living legend and he’s only 25. 😳
I heard about him before dj mma fight, and i only warch the ufc. He is getting recognition for sure
The modern legends. The torch was passed from
Saenchai-->Buakaw-->Rodtang
@@ryu-ken plz put some respect on nong-o
@@user-fd4yd8gb3p he's good but not on the same level as the others
There is no legends at 25. Calm down😅
mouse destroyed him. Period
The guy studies him for years and comes up with a good counter for that body shot just to have it work once before Rodtang realizes what he's doing and adjusts to get a knockout off of it, that's wild. The fact he's able to see patterns and adjust that quickly is impressive.
Yeah, I hear both of you, but for real: the man carries some EXTREME-veteran volume of experience. Just, unheard of perspective he brings, to any possible situation, relative to most other professional fighters.
@@dumbyetsmarterthanyou2960
Right on, yeah, I just went and watched that DJ fight, it was good, but DJ's no slouch, even in muay thai, right?? I mean, he was throwing hard himself, and he's always been extremely well rounded, including his muay thai striking skillset...
Mexican guy had crazy style. Earned him a title shot. Impressed
@@dumbyetsmarterthanyou2960using the DJ fight is a terrible example because DJ is also a striking veteran and his clinch game is very good so knocking him out in one round is a pretty huge undertaking
@@dumbyetsmarterthanyou2960
Fair point
Weasle you have to do more One Championship breakdowns the level of striking in this promotion especially in the kickboxing and Muay Thai is unreal. Tawanchai, Nong-O, Haggerty, Grigorian, Allazov etc there’s too many to mention.
High level striking and Weasle breakdowns are a match made in heaven, would love to see you cover more!!!
Absolutely man, such incredible fights. Rodtang vs Haggerty is going to be fun again.
tawanchai is my favorite, what a technician he is
Haggerty might be one of the best non thai guys ever too. He's up there with the greats, hes still building his career but definitely MT Rushmore potential
@@TheWeasleMMA I feel bad for Soldiç. But yeah DOPE card, One in 3 years will go higher than UFC.
@@ryu-ken LOL Please ^^ There are plenty on non thai Lumpinee's champ. Stop it. And I mean early 90's thai boxing, 'real' one.
Holy shit, i swear i thought rodtang was in his thirties, not even by looks just by renown and skills.
I have been watching him for a while and I had no idea he was that young. He fights like an older fighter.
That’s what kids in Asia do. Get into martial arts out the womb and create your career from there. It’s normal in asian countries
How impressive is it that Mighty Mouse was able to hold his own in the Muay Thai portion of the Rodtang fight?
Reach,timing, patience and a lot of other attributes. Technique and timing outwit pure strength.
Surviving does not mean winning
He kind of grabbed constantly, in positions you aren’t supposed to.
Can’t blame DJ tho.
It made me very happy to see the reception he got from the crowd, but I'm not surprised either. Rodtang is always impressive, always in fun fights, and I'm sure some of his highlight reels were seen around the world. He deserves all the love he's getting.
I also hope Stamp Fairtex will get some recognition out of Asia as well. She got a crazy TKO today!
Overall this card was super fun to watch, One Championship will definitely be back in the US.
Dude the American crowd was cheering for her, and not for her American opponent. She's definitely on the rise.
Facts Stamp won the US crowd by the dance. She knows what she’s doing! Fan Favorite and Monster fighter
Muay Thai needs more recognition these dudes are the best strikers on earth it’s such a competitive sport I can’t believe it isn’t more mainstream
@@Lolzzz483I’ve been saying the same thing for years, they put a Muay Thai fighter from Thailand in one mma and nobody could stand with him
@@tavzilla there’s plenty of MT fighters transitioned/ing to MMA…. I’m taking my hat off and say, wrestlers/grapplers are our weakness since we stand 99.99% of the time in combat. That’s when you get someone like Izzy😉😉
Rodtang is a fucking animal man, I've been watching ONE for a long time and he's by far the main attraction. His fights against Haggerty were so damn fun. That time Haggerty caught Rodtang's kick, then tried to sweep him, and Rodtang freaking jumped over it like he was re-coding the entire matrix.
This card was so good man, ONE has some of the best fights, maybe they can't really compete with the UFC's best fight just yet but they are not far behind. Bellator and PFL gonna eat their socks man.
The level of striking in ONE in general is superior. Rodtang, Nong-O, Allazov, Superlek, Superbon, Tawanchai - these guys are all similar level of, say, Izzy is. But apart from Izzy there are few truly elite strikers in UFC like those mentioned in ONE. It's because the ONE fighters have like 200+ fights by the time they are 25, which is a ridiculous amount of fighting experience to learn and craft your skill set.
@@emerestthisk990 true but the UFC does purely MMA also alot of these guys would get ate up in pure mma against the best in the world
Drinking game: put on a theweasle playlist and take a shot whenever he says "this guy is something else man"
"I'm wasted"
He's just getting better the last year or so he's been adding those elbows alot more, mouth watering to think of him and Hagerty meeting again!!!
Nah, we want to see Superlekkk vs Rodtang. that's the one.
@@Lolife86 That's a super fight. I would give the edge to Rodtang but the way Superlek finished his last opponent was scary
Isn't he at featherweight now?
@@mpforeverunlimited BW-ONE=145
This was my first time watching Rodtang live and man he’s definitely special
One FC really killed it for their first event in America i enjoyed the entire event
The spinning elbow Tabares was looking for was amazing. It hit Rodtang once, but that boy is made out of stone.
It's a very risky move tho
Can't keep throwing the same attack 3 times and not expect your opponent to have a counter for it.
@@getonwithit.2847 agreed. I expected Edgar to be smarter than that, more creative and to have plan B and C if Rodtang stayed alive after those.
The dude is an absolute beast and fights so often. Great US debut for ONE!
I watched One live through prime tonight for my first time ever, it was awesome. I’ll definitely be watching more of it and I hope they continue to expand in North America
Bro that spinning elbow block was clean😂 Hes basically Mini Buakaw
That card was insane. Truly living up to the 70% finish rate on each card
I hope this card brings One Championship an opportunity to get more recognized globally
It was an incredible card!!!
I hope it does man. That deal the UFC did with the WWE was nothing more than a money grab for Dana.
with spinning shots not being as common in muay thai, that spinning elbow was a really good adaptation by Edgar, Rodtang looked annoyed when it partially landed in the first round, and for Rodtang to adapt to the adaptation just goes to show how elite Rodtang's striking is, we really need to see Rodtang vs Superlek already, please ONE make it happen
I can't believe that literally insane number of fights, at any age, but especially at twenty F'ING five. That's like, the number of WRESTLING matches you see in the ENTIRE career of the most accomplished/decorated WRESTLERS - but these are f'ing FIGHTS. Truly unbelievable, just - holy shit.
It’s their wrestling
Muay Thai boxers with a lot of competitive statistics because he started punching at a young age, some 3-7 years old already started punching And punching because it is poor, some people may not love Muay Thai. And the first punch, the price will be very small, 10-20usd 30usd per time, need to help the family Until you become famous to start earning a lot of money. And besides, it's also a disadvantage. If you look at foreigners who start practicing Muay Thai out of love and passion Now there are many foreigners overthrowing Thai boxers. But as for me, I'm happy. Be Thai or foreign But they all love Muay Thai. i am happy
I had never seen a Muay Thai fight so Rodtang was fascinating. This kid has a brilliant future ahead.
Insane analysis
They fight like daily when they are young .. Muay Thai is really crazy
i've been warming up to one since it came to amazon, really hope they keep it up
Great stuff!
i am neveeeeeer missing a ONE FC show near me the whole show was super fun , and it truly feels like a martial arts show
I legit got emo watching him win that 100k. Earned. He brings it every single time.
Weasel bro i’d love more coverage of ONE, there are so many high level fighters and just straight up savages mix that with your breakdowns of it would be mint💯
Weasle, if you're reading this. I hope you can make an impact by covering more kickboxing and Muay Thai OFC fights.
Thank you for making a video about this one, and hopefully we can see more from you. OFC will reward you if you give them more publicity. I guarantee you that.
Dude, please do more Muay Thai breakdowns. Love your perspectives! Thank you broda 🙏
I first learned about Rodtang when he destroyed John Haggerty. The dude is made of freaking rock! He takes punches and kicks flush to the jaw and just shakes them off. Happy that he’s finally coming stateside.
yehhhh boi
I was hoping you'd cover the ONE event
🇹🇭 let's gooooo
The first time Edgar threw that spinning elbow i was like damn what a sick counter but he just threw it too much. Someone like Rodtang will figure it out and Edgar had nothing for him. Good showing though, great fight. The whole event was so dooe
Deserved every moment of praise for a masterclass
Thank you for highlighting the Thai style not just mma
Muay thai with 4oz gloves is not far from watching a fight movie, because you can't do the shell up and stall game. Gotta love it!

Rodtag is well known everywhere ,where fighting is popular.
Glad to see DJ's son is doing well
Weasel! That kadestan ko of soldic! What an interview… ‘they try to kill me baby! Send some more. They cant kill me… I’m already DEAD!’ This guy is a f’king BADASS!!
He has a very tangy rod
This makes you wonder just how good is Chael Sonnen? 🤔🐐
Where does Chael Sonnen fit in this situation?
And Kevin Lee for that matter
100 percent greatest to ever do it, chael p sonnen. Never lost a round!!!
Journeyman level I'd say 🤔
@artur583 nah even as someone who doesn't like his fake character dickriders chael isn't a journeyman. Never the best but a high caliber fighter & always a threat. More comparable to porier or Gustafson.
I went to a Rodtang seminar and met him he’s a monster and he’s very nice 👍
Rodtang has 323 fights and is only 25, he is something special. I love to watch him fight.
All the casuals who don't respect One because "its not UFC" need to go watch golf. Muay Thai is amazing.
Everytime i see rodtang fight a guy i dont know of, i insta know he's gonna win. Cause very VERY little amount of people could actually beat rodtang. Rodtang just has everything a legend of a fighter needs to have. he is just a beast. You're never gonna have a easy fight with rodtang. Just the amount of words i would have to type, to explain to you how good rodtang is, would just be too much.
The way he blocked that elbow and gave one right back was a beauty
I can't be the only person who still wants to see Rodtang vs Superlek.....am I?
Love watching Rodtang he is a beast
Rod built like a tank! Hits harder than one too 😏. Big fan!
This was my favorite part of the fight card
FINALLY ONE GETTING THE RECOGNITION OVER IN THE STATES ‼️
3:50 that red light placement tho.
Rodtang has been my favorite muy thai fighter for years, now he just might be my favorite fighter
Dammit, I didn't even know One was on last night
Brownie point for Tebares to pick up a counter, but he only planned one move ahead. I was expecting Tebares to fake front kicks in round two, but he did not and got countered by using the same move over and over.
First rnd really was a downloading process before he went to work.
0:14 This would make a dope phone/desktop background
That block and elbow was some Tekken shit
Rodtang is one of the best muay thai fighters of all time at only age 25 so that begs the question....
Can he make the switch to MMA?
2 years of grappling and he can probably contact DJ to assist him in that aspect too.
Top 15 maybe but maybe not a belt
Weasle's pronunciation of iron really urkes me
Waiting for DJ vs moraes 3
Very good comentary and analysation of that fight, - yes the fighter who will knock Rodtang out is not jet born!
He's literally been knocked out before. Videos on TH-cam
@@jamescooke7243 I know only of one - where he has been knocked out that was about 6 - 7 years ago against a Thai fighter with an elbow straight to the chin! Abrutal knock out, yes! He was still a kid at the time and he was not as powerful in the neck area.
Of course he can be knocked out he is still human, but a long time this had not happened.
Tenshin Nasukawa is literally the only striker than can go toe to toe with Rodtang.
Rodtangs true rival. Tenshins technique is too clean
@@burningknuckle26 facts. Nasukawa’s striking is unrivaled.
Biggest stars of ONE FC are the Asian fighters, like Rodtang, Tawanchai, Nong-O, Superbon etc. This is what separates it from UFC, Bellator and even boxing where you never see these Asian monsters that come from the streets and rise to be champions. Of course, they have stars from all over the world. It's like Street Fighter but real life with the mix of disciplines. Superior to UFC in my eyes because of this
We will never get either one of these guys
Rodtang is something else. I was in somalia when I discovered him
I can't believe those numbers for Roatang to be true... That is some insane stats
Dominated and outclassed. Great fight tho kudos to the Mexican guy for taking the fight the whole event was 🔥
One has been putting on great fights lately. I don’t think this was even their best card of the year. There were just more eyes on this card being that it was in Colorado, and was potentially mighty mouses last fight. Their best card this year was probably One Fight night 6.
Watching the fight it seemed like in Rodtang’s head he’s thinking “I’ve fought plenty like you before” and decide to end him in the 2nd
Where's the dj video 😅
Fight iQ through the roof.
Figgy should go to One.
Tabares was a bit too timid and Rodtang could already smell his fear and went for the kill
Plus Tabares still needs to refine his Muay Thai skills. Traditional Muay Thai fighters don’t lay all their cards on the table at once. Tabares kept spinning his elbows even when he didn’t have to… crucial mistake
Well actually when you fight a thai you only have the 1st Round to surprise him and knock him out. Or they just gonna accelerate more and more. You ned to go with a fast start.And leur him quickly.Coz in thailand the first two round both re usually 10 - 10. Then in the 3rd the real thing start.
Superlek will be prob the only opponent that he respects and can beat him. They’ll fight next
I wish we had rodtang
One of the best Muay matt fighter imo. 🍻
Nice his first finish in what, 2 years?
Rodtang read Tabares like a children book.
Rodtang set him up because he knew tabares liked throwing the spinning elbow
2:30 left hook start up
I hope one FC give rodtang some real challenge in his next fight instead of someone no one really heard of
Edgar didn’t wan to stand up anymore haha
ONE FC is better than UFC all day. Rodtang next level AlhumduLILLAH
Rodtang muslim champion
What happened? JFC Weasle; the ONE FC brass recreated a lost Mayan warrior in a laboratory only to sacrifice it to the company Silverback Gorilla for our amusement in some violent Thunderdome-esque ish.
Couid you breakdown rodtang vs tenshin?
Rodtang vs sandhagen would be crazy.
ของจริง
Rodtang vs Song would be very interesting imo
Rodtang would sleep him. 😴
Rodtang the Iron 'Chin' Man.
Was the guy he fighting ranked?
Wow i thought he was in his mid 30s Holy shit 😅
Betting on Rodtang for every fight in his career
I'm no marketing genius, but he shouldn't have used IRONMAN. His style is the RHINO.
It like when you're rank diamond facing against grandmaster
Imagine if this guy joined the ufc and worked on his takedown defense/ bjj 💀
He can be a top contender but its really hard to be successful in Mma unless ur tdd is on point as a sttriker. I think mma ruleset favors elite grapplers
He's had mixed rules fight against Demetrius Johnson but that was just one fight
I don’t know id rather actually see the best Muay Thai fighters compete in Muay Thai, but that’s just me.
isnt demetrius going to fight him?
What really happened? Kept doing that spinning elbow after the caught kick.
When someone asks me why rod tang is a big deal. I say watch his highlights then keep in mind he has 320+ wins and 30sum losses. Then keep in mind hes in his twenties. Kid is special
