Career
Rodlek had his first Muay Thai fight, which took place at a temple fair, at the age of 10. He lost that fight.[1] The loss motivated him to commit to training in Muay Thai, his initial goal being to beat his opponent in a rematch.
At the age of 12, he moved to the Jaotalaytong Gym. Upon finishing high school, Rodlek moved to Bangkok to build on his fighting career. It was in the country's capital where he also joined the Sitsongpeenong Gym, while also completing his bachelor's degree in management.[2]
Rodlek made his name in Muay Thai with his repeated successes at the famed Channel 7 Boxing Stadium. On April 24, 2016, he would become the Channel 7 130lb Champion with a win over Nuenglanlek Jitmuangnon. He did regularly fight at both Lumpinee Stadium and Rajadamnern Stadium but did not find the same success as he did at the Channel 7 Stadium.
Rodlek made his ONE Championship debut at ONE Championship: Legendary Quest in Shanghai on June 15, 2019. In his first ONE fight, he defeated Liam Harrison by unanimous decision.[3] He then faced Andrew Miller at ONE Championship: Dawn of Heroes in the Philippines on August 2, 2019, where he knocked out Miller in the third round.[4]
Rodlek was scheduled to face Chris Shaw at ONE Championship: Fire & Fury on January 31, 2020.[5] At Fire & Fury, he was able to knock down Shaw in the final seconds of the third round before claiming the unanimous decision victory.[6]
