Roman Kryklia made history in the main event of ONE Fight Night 17 on December 8 after knocking out Alex Roberts in the second round of the ONE heavyweight Muay Thai world title match inside the Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.
It was Kryklia’s sixth victory under the world’s largest martial arts organization and his fifth TKO/KO stoppage as he flattened the WBC heavyweight Muay Thai world champion down the mat with a thunderous left hook.
Because of yet another masterful performance, Kryklia not only secured an additional $50,000 bonus from ONE Championship Chairman and CEO Chatri Sityodtong but also received admiration and love from fans all over the world, especially from his Ukrainian compatriots, as Instagram users @sperzhanovskyi, @areaofmuscleofficial, @tasya_mas.lova, @sureenisme, @bodybuildingwithaaron, and @aptieziev commented on his recent post.
