One possible future ONE signing, he claimed, is kickboxing star Tenshin Nasukawa, who was cage-side for the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sityodtong suggested that Nasukawa could potentially join ONE to rematch Muay Thai action fighter Rodtang Jitmuangnon, who was victorious on the ONE: A New Era undercard. Nasukawa and Rodtang engaged in a razor close battle at RISE 125 in 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTenshin was in the audience in the first row, and he has definitely expressed his opinion \u2013 privately and publicly \u2013 that he would like to join ONE Championship,\u201d Sityodtong said (transcript via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.onefc.com\/articles\/chatri-sityodtong-reveals-possibility-of-tenshin-vs-rodtang-rematch-in-one\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"onefc.com (opens in a new tab)\">onefc.com<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHe does want to face Rodtang again, so I\u2019m very excited to hold that fight in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Given that Tenshin Nasukawa already trains at Sityodtong&#8217;s EVOLVE MMA in Singapore, it&#8217;s long been suggested he could soon make the move from RIZIN to ONE Championship. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>This article first appeared on&nbsp;<\/em><a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/\"><em>BJPENN.COM<\/em><\/a><em>&nbsp;on 4\/2\/2019.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ONE Championship has signed a host of high profile free agents over the last few months, such as former UFC champions Demetrious Johnson, Eddie Alvarez and Vitor Belfort, former UFC stars Sage Northcutt, Yoshihiro Akiyama, and Yushin Okami, Muay Thai star Yodsanklai IWE Fairtex, and kickboxing ace Nieky Holzken.
