Timofey Nastyukhin introduced himself to ONE Championship fans by knocking Eduard Folayang unconscious with soccer kicks last December. He finished Yusuke Kawanao in exactly the same fashion in Guangzhou, China, on Saturday.
Nastyukhin’s fight with Kawanago was the main event of ONE: Dynasty of Champions at the Tianhe Gymnasium, where the two men exchanged punches early in the opening round with the Russian dropping the former Legend FC champion.
Nastyukhin sensed blood and moved in for the kill with soccer kicks, just like he did against Folayang, causing referee Olivier Coste to call of the contest at 1:32 of the first round.
