Seeking to defend the 265-pound Muay Thai world championship in the main event against Lyndon Knowles, the 6-foot-6 Ukrainian striker blitzed the decorated United Kingdom star's defenses early on.

This high-pressure offense from Kryklia worked perfectly against the Knowlesy Academy affiliate, dropping him with a punch-kick combo midway through the opening round. Though Knowles got up, Kryklia sent him to sleep with a straight right hand.

Watch Kryklia land the knockout blow below, which ONE shared on Instagram:

"How do you feel after the victory? Try and you will know it. I cannot share with you this feeling after the fight, and after the successful fight, everything ends in a good way. I'm happy, I'm free, and I can now relax a little bit, because it was a very hard period for me [mentally], the period before the fight. Now I'm free. I'm happy."
