Rodtang Jitmuangnon is okay, but he recently had to pull out of a major fight after feeling unwell from a tough weight cut, and the bout was canceled and set to be rescheduled.

Quick Scoop

  • Rodtang was scheduled to fight Nong-O Hama for the vacant ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World Title at ONE 173 in Tokyo in November 2025.
  • After successfully making weight and passing hydration, he reported feeling unwell and was taken to a local hospital for evaluation and treatment, forcing him to withdraw from the fight.
  • Because Rodtang withdrew and Nong-O also failed to make weight and pass hydration tests, the title fight was completely scrapped and will be rescheduled for a future event.

Health situation

  • The issue appears related to the physical toll of the weight cut, with reports noting that his body “couldn’t handle it” after weigh-ins, leading to precautionary hospitalization.
  • There has been no credible reporting that he suffered a career-ending injury; the public framing is that this was a serious but manageable health scare around making weight, with plans for him to return once cleared.

Recent and future plans

  • Despite the setback at ONE 173, Rodtang remains a central name in ONE’s striking divisions and is still discussed for big matchups at flyweight.
  • After Takeru Segawa’s TKO win at ONE 173, Takeru publicly called for a final retirement fight against Rodtang in 2026, and Rodtang accepted in-circle, setting up a likely high-profile rematch pending official confirmation.

Fan and forum reaction

  • On forums like r/MuayThai and r/MMA, fans have reacted with concern for his health but also support, with many emphasizing that his safety should come before any title fight or weight-cut expectations.
  • Discussions also connect this situation to previous weight issues and debate whether moving up a weight class or adjusting his approach to cuts might be better for his long-term career.
