ONE Championship: Takeru Segawa Retirement Uncertain After Rodtang Victory

Takeru Segawa is reportedly set to wrap up his mixed martial arts career at ONE Samurai on Wednesday, 29 April. The Natural Born Krusher will face a familiar foe in Rodtang Jitmuangnon in a highly anticipated rematch for the ONE Interim Flyweight Kickboxing World Title at the Ariake Arena in Japan.

Segawa and Rodtang first met at ONE 172 on 23 March 2025. Jitmuangnon won against the Japanese fighter via a first-round knockout. That appears to be more than enough motivation for the 34-year-old, not only to avenge that loss but also to cap his MMA run with a fitting victory.
