Two-sport ONE world champion Roman Kryklia might be 6-foot-6, but his athleticism and striking abilities mirror those of an athlete who competes in the 145-pound bantamweight or even 155-pound featherweight division.

Roman Kryklia predicting a knockout victory over Lyndon Knowles

Roman Kryklia has never been beaten in his six-fight ONE tenure, and he does not expect to have his winning streak snapped by one of the head coaches of the world-famous Knowlesy Academy. In fact, he is foreseeing a knockout of Lyndon Knowles.

The Champ Belts affiliate recently told the promotion:

"I don't think this one goes the full five rounds. Heavyweights, small gloves, Muay Thai rules — add in elbows and knees, and there's a high chance of a knockout."

ONE Fight Night 30 will be available live and free to all Prime Video subscribers in the United States and Canada.
