WATCH: Colombian rising star Johan Estupinan snatches souls in collection of highlight reel KOs in ONE Championship

Johan Estupinan has undoubtedly emerged as one of the breakout stars of 2024 in ONE Championship.

The Colombian phenom has dazzled in four outings this year, clinching victories in breathtaking fashion.

Recently, the promotion highlighted his ascent, drawing attention from fans and analysts alike, who are now eagerly watching Estupinan as one of the top Muay Thai fighters heading into the new year.

Take a look at his impressive carousel of knockouts below:

In the comments section, fans have lavished praise on ‘Panda Kick,’ with Instagram users @wilsonvargashelmut, @don.die.slowly, and @poseidon_rusavy all expressing admiration for his exciting style.

“Animal!!”

“Nasty knockouts I’ve seen.”

“Bro is too sharp.”

This admiration is well-deserved, given Estupinan’s ongoing rampage in the weight class.

Estupinan, the first-ever Colombian athlete to compete in the world’s largest martial arts organization, made an unforgettable debut this past May with a blistering 27-second knockout of Kouta Omori.

He followed this up with another dominant performance a month later, knocking down Zafer Sayik twice on his way to a unanimous decision victory.

The 22-year-old continued his winning ways by taking down Filipino-American striker Sean Climaco with a sensational second-round TKO at ONE 168: Denver at Ball Arena in Denver this past September.

Not content with resting on his laurels, he quickly returned to action, defeating Zakaria El Jamari in a thrilling, back-and-forth brawl.

With his unorthodox and crowd-pleasing demeanor, Estupinan promises to be a tough challenge for anyone in the flyweight Muay Thai division.
