Former flyweight champion Geje Eustaquio returned to the win column in devastating fashion at Friday’s ONE Championship: Masters of Fate in Manila, Philippines.
Looking to avenge a 2016 submission defeat to former title contender Toni Tauru, Eustaquio scored one of the best knockouts of 2019 in the third round, flooring Tauru with a spinning back kick to the liver.
The fight card was headlined by dominant ONE Championship strawweight king Joshua Pacio against Rene Catalan.
Both fighters went for heel hooks early in the opening round, and Catalan transitioned to a kneebar.
