Colombian phenom Johan Estupinan has been unstoppable since joining ONE Championship in May last year. He has prided himself in being techninal as well as the knack for being explosive.
The 22-year-old JCFernandez/Team CSK was in his technical best when he stood toe-to-toe in an entertaining decision win over Zafer Sayik in his second outing in the promotion at ONE 167 back in June at the Impact Arena in Bangkok, Thailand.
Estupinan presented varying looks to his opponent, including his crack counters that had the Team Mehdi Zatout affiliate scrambling to deal with. One of them saw 'Panda Kick' connect on a perfectly placed counter straight right to the chin that sent Sayik crashing to the canvas.
ONE Championship looked back at the precise timing that Estupinan displayed against Sayik with a video post on its official Instagram profile.
