According to ONE, the legal move follows multiple ignored attempts to resolve the situation after alleged contractual violations. They highlighted a stringent policy against breaches, including misleading information and defamation. The organization insists it has taken necessary steps after exhausting all efforts to collaborate with Rodtang.
ONE's review and investigation continue, and they remain coordinated with authorities in each involved country. Legal proceedings aim to seek appropriate damages, but ONE will refrain from further commenting on specifics until the legal process progresses.
Publicly addressing the situation, Rodtang confirmed his previous contract with ONE Championship is expired. He stated no conflicts exist with the promotion and that negotiations for a new contract are underway.
Rodtang reassured fans that the expiration of his contract will not affect his high-profile fight with Takeru Segawa. Scheduled for April 29, 2026, at ONE Samurai 1 in Japan, it will proceed as an “out-of-contract bout." Rodtang is committed to thorough preparation for this major event to honor his supporters.
