Thai megastar is pulling out all the stops to ensure that his weight and fitness are on point for his five-round flyweight kickboxing super-fight against in the main event of this Sunday, March 23.
That highly anticipated is now just days away, and Rodtang has made significant changes to his diet, nutrition, and training regimen.
In his most recent appearance at last November, the 27-year-old failed to make weight while hydrated for his ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World Title defense against .
While 바카라The Iron Man바카라 won the fight in sterling fashion, his miss on the scale forced him to relinquish the belt, which he had successfully defended five times to cement himself as one of Muay Thai바카라s most dominant World Champions.
Looking back, Rodtang told that he was crushed to lose his World Title that way 바카라 but that he바카라s using the disappointment as fuel this time around:
바카라I tried my best to make weight, especially since it was a World Title defense. No one wants to lose, but when you lose, you have to accept it.
바카라Of course, I felt so sad because I had kept this belt for so long. I defended it many times, but I lost it to the scale, not to my opponent. I was devastated, but it was a huge motivation for me.바카라
To be sure he doesn바카라t make the same mistake again, Rodtang started working with a nutritionist who plans and portions all of his meals.
He바카라s also cut out his biggest indulgences from his diet and is happy to report that he바카라s been shedding pounds each and every week:
바카라I바카라ve prepared my body very well for this fight. Thanks to Peter, the nutritionist who came to take care of my diet.
바카라I also have to thank my family and my wife바카라s family who always tell me not to eat fried food or sweets. Plus, I train in the morning and evening every day. My weight is gradually going down, as I바카라ve updated on my social media.바카라
Indeed, Rodtang looks to be in peak condition and appears poised to perform at his best in one of the biggest kickboxing fights in history.
It hasn바카라t been easy to stay disciplined, he added. But over time, he바카라s adjusted to his new, healthier diet and is now reaping the benefits:
바카라I had to force myself to eat properly. The food the nutritionist gave me for each meal comes in small portions, but I eat all three meals each day as he orders. As time passed, I didn바카라t feel as hungry. I could train normally without feeling hungry and sleep well.바카라
Rodtang: 바카라I Guarantee That I Won바카라t Miss Weight Again바카라
Rodtang Jitmuangnon바카라s training camp for ONE 172 has been the hardest of his career, with a special emphasis on power and conditioning.
Well aware of Takeru Segawa바카라s absurd durability and terrifying power, the Thai is doing everything he can to ensure he바카라s capable of fighting at a fast pace for 15 minutes of action:
바카라I바카라m focused on building muscle, fitness, and strength so that when I get hit by my opponent바카라s weapons, I will be able to withstand them for a full five rounds.
바카라In the evening, I practice everything, including kicking the pads, trying techniques, training abdominal muscles, and then going back to practicing techniques again. Even on Sundays, I don바카라t stop. I wake up and go for a run.바카라
That demanding training schedule has taken its toll on Rodtang바카라s body, but he wouldn바카라t have it any other way.
Come March 23, he promises to be on weight and ready for war:
바카라I바카라ve worked hard every day. I guarantee that I won바카라t miss weight again in this fight.바카라
