Rodtang "The Iron Man" Jitmuangnon has re-committed himself to the promotion that made him a global phenomenon, and the timing could not be more significant.
The former ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World Champion has produced some of the most electric wars fans have ever witnessed, a big part of that coming down to his forward-marching, never-back-down style that has captured the attention of millions worldwide.
Add in a seemingly indestructible chin that lets him walk through fire while landing his own haymakers, and it becomes clear why "The Iron Man" couldn't be a more apt moniker for the Thai megastar.
Across 20 appearances under the promotional banner, he has featured in Muay Thai, kickboxing, and even a mixed-rules super-fight against ONE Hall of Famer and MMA GOAT Demetrious "Mighty Mouse" Johnson.
Now, at 29 years old and officially back in the fold, the matchmaking possibilities are endless for the 274-win veteran. Here are five fighters who could be next in line to share the global stage with him.

“The Angel Warrior” Panpayak Jitmuangnon has yet to taste defeat under kickboxing rules in ONE Championship, and he has every intention of keeping that pristine record intact at The Inner Circle 23 on Friday, July 24.
The seven-time Muay Thai World Champion locks horns against Anuar “Bad Boy” Cisneros in a co-main event bantamweight kickboxing clash, just before Sam-A Gaiyanghadao and Aliff Sor Dechapan collide for the ONE Interim Strawweight Muay Thai World ****** le in Bangkok’s decorated Lumpinee Stadium.
Fight fans can gain exclusive access to the complete Asia primetime card with a subscription at live.onefc.com.
Across a storied career, the Jitmuangnon Gym and ****** et Fight Club representative has already established himself among Muay Thai’s best. He carried that form onto the global stage, even winning the 2022 Knockout of the Year courtesy of a head-kick finish.
His move into kickboxing, however, has provided him with something entirely different: a clean slate and three straight victories, the most recent of which came against Othman “The Ironside” Rhouni at ONE Friday Fights 155 this past May.

Othman "The Ironside" Rhouni arrived in ONE Championship under difficult circumstances, learned hard lessons, and came back a different fighter. On Friday, July 10, he gets the chance to show exactly how much has changed.
The Moroccan striker faces Thai phenom Jaradchai Maxjandee in a flyweight Muay Thai main event at ONE Friday Fights 161 live in Asia primetime from the iconic Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.
Rhouni's first appearance on the ONE Friday Fights stage came against "The Angel Warrior" Panpayak Jitmuangnon, a seven-time Muay Thai World Champion, who carries one of the most feared names in the division.
Stepping in on 10 days' notice against that level of opposition would have been a daunting proposition for any fighter. For Rhouni, it came with an additional layer of difficulty that made the performance even more understandable in hindsight.
The razor-close split-decision loss stung, but the context behind it tells a story that the result alone cannot.
