“They are all bonkers” - Fans in equal pain and awe of some of the best one-shot knockouts in ONE Championship from 2024

To usher in the new year, ONE Championship relived the top one-shot knockouts delivered by fighters in 2024 on Instagram. The post left fans both in pain and awe of the scintillating performances.

Among those highlighted were the 49-second KO victories of Thai superstar Superlek Kiatmoo9 and ONE newcomer Amy Pirnie of Scotland, as well as the opening-round knockout win of Superbon.

Superlek made short work of Englishman Jonathan Haggerty at ONE 168: Denver in September, with a well-timed counter elbow on to the head of 'The General' inside the opening minute to seize the ONE bantamweight Muay Thai world title.

Pirnie, meanwhile, sent Yu Yai Pui of China to sleep-ville in just 49 seconds with a solid left to the chin in her debut in August, while Superbon also stopped veteran Jo Nattawut in the first round of their clash in September with a nasty elbow following an exchange.

Featherweight MMA king Tang Kai looks to stay unscathed in ONE Championship in next fight

ONE featherweight MMA king Tang Kai looks to keep his unblemished record in ONE Championship intact when he returns to action this month in a world title fight.

The Chinese star will defend his title against rising Kyrgyzstani fighter Akbar Abdullaev in the headlining contest at ONE Fight Night 27 on Jan. 10 at the Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.

It will be the first defense of Tang Kai (8-0) of the featherweight gold after unifying the division's championship belts in his last fight in March with a third-round TKO of erstwhile interim champion Thanh Le.

Looking to dethrone him at ONE Fight Night 27 is Abdullaev, who has been undefeated in three fights to date since making his promotional debut in March 2023.

ONE Fight Night 27 will be available live and for free in U.S. primetime to North American fans with an active Amazon Prime Video subscription.
