ONE Championship returns with another stacked card to Lumpinee Boxing Stadium, featuring title fights across kickboxing, Muay Thai, and MMA. In the main event, Jacob Smith will take on Rodtang for the now-vacant flyweight belt, and Jackie Buntan clashes with Anissa Meksen for the inaugural strawweight kickboxing title.
Despite Rodtang approaching the buildup and training more seriously this time, the Thai fighter was unable to meet the required hydration and weight limit for the second consecutive time, weighing in at 135.5 lbs. As a result, he will be stripped of his title and will forfeit 20% of his purse to his opponent, Jacob Smith.
Jackie Buntan, who has faced weight issues in the past, successfully made weight this time, hitting the mark at 125 lbs. Former GLORY champion Anissa Meksen will move up in weight to face Buntan for the inaugural strawweight kickboxing title.
Earlier on the card, former champion Sam-A returns to the sport of kickboxing to face 20-year-younger prospect Zhang Peimian.
