The Muay Thai showdown between Elias Mahmoudi and Denis Puric at ONE Fight Night 26 lived up to the expectations of displaying violence, as the two striking sensations went into an all-out war in front of the Lumpinee Stadium crowd in Bangkok, Thailand.

Mahmoudi, though, scored the stunning last-second knockout of Puric and ONE Championship published the ending sequence of the match on their Instagram account with the video's caption read:

"BUZZER BEATER 😱 Elias Mahmoudi KOs Denis Puric with TWO SECONDS left in their Muay Thai thriller! @elias_mahmoudi_official"

'The Sniper' landed a devastating knee strike straight onto the body of 'The Bosnian Menace' to fold him like paper and make him crumble to his striking power.

Elias Mahmoudi grateful for the performance bonus that ONE Chairman and CEO Chatri Sityodtong hands out

After yet another highlight-reel victory, the Mahmoudi Gym representative addressed everyone inside the ring in his post-fight interview with 'The Dragon,' Mitch Chilson.

One key point he discussed was the additional $50,000 performance bonus that ONE honcho Chatri Sityodtong gives to fighters who perform well during every event.

According to Mahmoudi, it motivates every athlete on the card to give their best when competing, as he stated:

"Thank you to the big boss, you've changed the lives a lot of fighters in the world because now with your bonus and with the respect you give to the fighters, many fighters can make a living out of martial arts. So thank you, Chatri, thank you big boss for this, and thank you everybody for coming to see the fight. See you all next time!"
