Initially uncertain, Di Bella reviewed the fight multiple times and concluded that the referee made a good call by declaring it a legitimate knockdown. Takeru's victory not only earned him the ONE interim flyweight kickboxing world title but also made him the first fighter to stop Rodtang in ONE Championship history. After the fight, Takeru revealed that his game plan focused on targeting Rodtang's legs to exploit his durability, ultimately leading to his success. The event took place at the Ariake Arena in Tokyo, Japan, and is considered one of the most thrilling ONE Championship cards this year.
