Over three years ago, Zebaztian Kadestam proved that he still has plenty left in the tank as a mixed martial artist by ending his three-bout losing skid in emphatic fashion. This happened when the former ONE welterweight MMA world champion went head-to-head with Valmir da Silva on the lead card of ONE: Full Circle in February 2022.

Watch the full fight uploaded by ONE Championship on its official YouTube channel:

After enduring a rough stretch, Kadestam reminded everyone of his knockout power with a stunning first-round finish of Da Silva. The Swedish hard-hitter needed just 86 seconds to dispatch his Brazilian opponent in their 192-pound catchweight MMA clash.

The contest began with a brief feeling-out process as both men traded probing jabs and kicks to measure distance. But once 'The Bandit' decided to pull the trigger, it was all over.

Kadestam unleashed a blistering four-punch combination, with a right crossed followed by a left uppercut doing the most damage – dropping Da Silva to the canvas and prompting a walk-off knockout.

Since that triumph, Kadestam added two more victories, including a second-round stoppage of Croatian superstar Roberto Soldic at ONE Fight Night 10 in May 2023.
