Nico Carrillo is known as “The King of the North,” but now stands one more match away from being the king of ONE Championship’s bantamweight Muay Thai division. The Scot reigned supreme at ONE Fight Night 23 on July 5. The second-round TKO over Saemapetch Fairtex cemented his status atop the contender’s board
“I’m on cloud nine. I’m very happy with my performance. And yeah, another Thai legend added to the list. Not many people can say they’ve done what I’m doing,” Carrillo said after the event.
The match had a hot start, with both strikers gunning for a finish.
