Veteran Australian fighter Martin Nguyen has established a reputation as one of the more exciting and creative fighters in ONE Championship in over a decade of competing in the promotion. Whenever the opportunity presents itself, he does not hesitate to thrown in some flair in his attacks.
One took place in April 2019 at ONE: Roots of Honor in Manila, where he knocked out Narantungalag Jadambaa of Mongolia in the second round by way of a spectacular flying knee to retain the featherweight MMA world title he then was holding.
ONE Championship relived that winning moment of 'The Situ-Asian' in a video post on Instagram, from the calf kick that set up the flying knee to the amazing finish.
