The magnitude of the contest has drawn interest of world-class strikers from around the globe, including reigning ONE Lightweight Muay Thai World Champion Regian “The Immortal” Eersel . Eersel offered a composed and tactical assessment of the main event showdown: “I know Rodtang has a lot of power. Takeru has to fight smarter and keep his hands higher.

“If he’s smart and moves a lot, he just has to avoid the power shots of Rodtang. Move out, move in, move out, move in. Then, he can win – not easily, but he can win.
