The rematch between Rodtang and Takeru Segawa has been announced to fulfill the main event of ONE Samurai 1, scheduled to go down on April 28th inside the Ariake Arena in Tokyo.
The pair first met last March in Saitama, Japan, with Rodtang ending the evening quickly in the first round with a powerful left hook. Now Takeru will get his shot at redemption against Thailand’s Rodtang, on home soil in Japan once again, when the two clash for the ONE interim bantamweight kickboxing championship.
ONE Samurai is ONE Championship’s newest series, and is expected to feature monthly events in Japan, much like the ONE Fight Night events broadcast on Prime Video from Thailand, which have become a staple for North American MMA fans. At this time, no official streaming option has been announced for the inaugural event or subsequent ONE Samurai events, but there is still time before April for the promotion to land a U.S. based broadcast deal for the series to encourage maximum exposure.
