Video: Was the Demetrious Johnson-Rodtang Jitmuangnon ONE hybrid rules fight a sign of the future?

Things got crazy at ONE Championship X this past Saturday with a unique hybrid rules match.

Former UFC flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson took on ONE flyweight muay Thai champion Rodtang Jitmuangnon. It wasn’t an MMA fight. It wasn’t a muay Thai fight. It was both. After the first muay Thai round, Johnson submitted Jitmuangnon in the second frame.

So what was the takeaway? Was it fine as a one-off, or do we want to see those kinds of fights more often?

Our “Spinning Back Clique” panel of Mike Bohn, Matthew Wells and Danny Segura discussed that topic with host “Gorgeous” George Garcia. Check out the discussion in the video above. And don’t miss the full episode below.
