Next March, ONE Championship is planned to return to Saitama Super Arena in Japan, with a showcase kickboxing bout to close the evening between Takeru Segawa and Rodtang Jitmuangnon.
Segawa will be looking to carry the momentum of his first win with the promotion, an efficient first round knockout of Thant Zin. Being the former king of K-1 Japan, Segawa will be fighting on familiar ground, but that is unlikely to phase the aggressive nature of his Thai competitor.
Rodtang most recent entered the circle back in November at ONE 169, where he retained his 135-pound Muay Thai title after 5 rounds of battle with British challenger Jacob Smith.
ONE 172: Takeru vs. Rodtang will take place on March 23rd in Saitama, Japan. The event is currently set to go live at 4 a.m. ET / 1 a.m. PT, with streaming options available for the North American audience on YouTube.
