Colombian striking star Johan Estupinan left a lasting impression on the global audience when he knocked out Kouta Omori in his ONE Championship debut in May 2024 at ONE Friday Fights 64.
Estupinan only needed 27 seconds to finish the Japanese contender inside the Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand. ONE Championship reposted the ending sequence of the match, captioned the Instagram post with:

'Panda Kick' started the match in aggressive mode as he attempted a flying knee, following it up with leg kicks and vicious punch combinations.
This approach by the 22-year-old instantly paid off, as he landed a beautiful uppercut-head kick-left hook combination that separated Omori from his consciousness.
After this outstanding victory, Estupinan swept his next three fights, defeating the Zafer Sayik in June at ONE 167 via unanimous decision, Sean Climaco in September at ONE 168: Denver via second-round TKO, and most recently Zakaria El Jamari in October at ONE Fight Night 25 via second-round knockout.

Ahead of that match, Estupinan has revealed that he is ready to take on 'Jojo' through a comment he posted in one of the promotion's social media post:
