22-year-old Columbian striking savant 'Panda Kick' Johan Estupinan turned in another explosive performance Saturday at ONE Fight Night 25: Nicolas vs. Eersel II on Prime Video against Morocco's Zakaria El Jamari, but not before again running into a little bit of adversity.
El Jamari tagged the hard-hitting Muay Thai fighter with a solid shot early, visibly staggering the Columbian. But Estupinan shook it off and proceeded to overwhelm his opponent.
After the fight, 'Panda Kick' addressed the punch and shrugged off any notion that he was hurt.

Addressing the media in the official ONE Fight Night 25 on Prime Video post-fight interviews backstage, Estupinan said:
"I felt it. Of course, I felt it. It wasn't that hard. I think my brother punches me harder. My brother can hurt me. He has heavy hands, but like, if I had, I don't know, one more minute, I could have finished the fight in the first round. I felt it, but I was not hurt."
Needless to say, Estupinan wore the damage well and went on to dominate the contest en route to the early finish.
