“I had no idea that Americans would respond that way” - Rodtang expresses shock at the enthusiastic reception he received in his US debut
Rodtang couldn’t be but shocked about the way he was welcomed in his US debut last year at ONE Fight Night 10.
The Thai superstar wasn’t sure exactly what to expect from the fans, only that they were interested in seeing what all the hype was about with ONE Championship.
ONE 169 is still happening … but not in Atlanta.
Instead, the promotion will return to Lumpinee Stadium in Thailand to satisfy “partner obligations” on Sat., Nov. 8, 2024. Fortunately, fight fans who purchased tickets to the “Peach State” MMA card will be able to get their money back from Ticketmaster.
“Though the organization was slated to return to America with ONE 169: Atlanta on November 8, the event will now be moved to Bangkok due to partner obligations in Thailand,” the promotion said in today’s release.
“All fans who purchased tickets to ONE 169: Atlanta will receive a full refund via Ticketmaster.”
ONE 169 is expected to feature several marquee matchups, including Anatoly Malykhin vs. Oumar “Reug Reug” Kane and Rodtang vs. Jacob Smith, among others; however, Tawanchai vs. “Smokin” Jo Nattawut has been removed from the lineup due to injury.
Moved to Thailand , same date
“I think this fight is the way to get that world title shot after seven long years,” Kingad told Manila Standard. “I’m motivated. The world title is there for the taking and I’m eyeing it.”
