ONE Championship featherweight Muay Thai standout 'King of the North' Nico Carrillo of Scotland put his entire life on hold after losing to Nabil Anane in January in his first-ever ONE world title opportunity.
Of course, Anane delivered a savage beatdown of Carrillo that ended in the very first round. Since then, 'King of the North' had nothing on his mind but getting back in the win column, and admittedly even forgot about his upcoming wedding to his fiancee.
Speaking to veteran MMA reporter Nick Atkin of Bangkok Post, Carrillo said he is now ready to put fighting on the backburner for the meantime so he can focus on his significant other.

'King of the North' said:
"I’m getting married to my best friend in the summer. And all my attention needs to go to her now because she was there in my darkest times this year and she stood by me, she was my rock. I had a few hard conversations with her this year and a lot of plans got canceled this year because I had to come straight back out here and she was with me the whole time. So I just want to give back to her a little bit now."
