ONE Championship president Chatri Sityodtong has shut down the idea of Takeru Segawa rematching Rodtang at ONE 173, as he believes the K-1 legend needs to rebuild himself properly before facing Rodtang again, especially after his brutal first-round loss.
“They’ve been talking on social media, but Takeru lost in just 80 seconds, so he needs to rebuild properly. The fans wouldn’t be interested otherwise.”
“There are still five months left, so I’d like to decide on Takeru’s opponent within the next couple of weeks.
