ONE Championship: Fabricio Andrade is down to welcome Rodtang, Superlek at bantamweight after Haggerty fight
- Bantamweight MMA champ eyeing more big names – and says Rodtang super fight would be ‘crazy’
- Brazilian feels Jonathan Haggerty at disadvantage in clash for vacant kickboxing title, predicts knockout
ONE Championship bantamweight MMA champ Fabricio Andrade is open to another super fight after facing Jonathan Haggerty for the vacant bantamweight kickboxing title – if the stars align.
The Singapore-based promotion has been putting together a myriad of big matchups across multiple martial arts in recent months, and Andrade would welcome Rodtang Jitmuangnon and Superlek Kiatmookao with open arms were they ever to move up to bantamweight and want to compete at championship level.
Both men have had issues on the scales over the past 12 months, with ONE flyweight kickboxing champ Superlek missing weight twice and Rodtang once even opting not to give a sample for his hydration test.
“[Rodtang] and Superlek, they are interested in moving up,” Andrade told the Post at the Tiger Muay Thai gym in Phuket, Thaikand. “They’ve been having some problems making weight so I think that could be a possibility in the future.
“I think that would be a crazy fight against Rodtang, for sure.”
ONE flyweight Muay Thai champ Rodtang has arguably become the biggest name in the organisation, and he will challenge Superlek for his fellow Thai’s title in a blockbuster clash on September 22 in Bangkok.
