Chase Mann’s background in powerlifting is not the typical origin story of a successful MMA fighter, but when it comes to the “Mannimal,” surpassing expectations has been a life-long journey.

Rodtang Jitmuangnon is determined to reclaim the ONE Championship flyweight Muay Thai world title on Sunday in Tokyo – and put a difficult stretch firmly behind him.
