Tennis Panipak Wongpattanaakit, the Thai national taekwondo hero, posted a video sending support to Rodtang Jitmuangnon after Rodtang was knocked out by Takeru in the fifth round of ONE SAMURAI 1. He expressed confidence that Thai fans continue to back Rodtang and jokingly mentioned wanting to see a "Part 3."
On 29 April 2026, following the intense match between Rodtang Jitmuangnon and Takeru, Tennis said, "It's over now for Takeru and Rodtang. Rodtang was knocked out in the fifth round, but I have to say Takeru prepared very well. He was able to neutralize Rodtang's weapons, and once Rodtang was hit from the first round, he had to press forward."
The Olympic gold medalist also sent encouragement to the beloved Thai fighter, saying, "It's okay. Go back and train again. Sports have wins and losses—that's all. I'm always cheering for you, and all Thai people are still supporting you as before. Keep fighting, you're very good."
At the end of the clip, Tennis added, "Looking forward to Part 3," amid comments from boxing fans sending their support to Rodtang Jitmuangnon, Thailand's representative.
