WATCH: Filipino mauler Kevin Belingon sends Manila into meltdown with his patented spinning back kick against Andrew Leone

Kevin Belingon’s signature weapon has always been his thunderous spinning backkick, and it was this very move that produced one of the most electrifying finishes of his career.

That unforgettable moment unfolded at the Mall of Asia Arena in Manila, Philippines, when “The Silencer” needed less than two rounds to dismantle American opponent Andrew Leone in the main event of ONE: Heroes of Honor in April 2018.

Check out the finishing sequence below:

From the opening bell, Belingon wasted no time, swarming Leone with a relentless offensive onslaught. The American fought desperately to fend off the barrage, but the Filipino spitfire refused to let up.

Then, in the second round, Belingon unleashed a thunderous spinning sidekick to the midsection that sent Leone crashing to the canvas. Sensing the end, he followed up with a relentless flurry of strikes, forcing the referee to step in and award him a spectacular technical knockout victory.

However, that was only the beginning of a banner year for Belingon in 2018. Just months later, he outdueled Martin Nguyen to capture the interim bantamweight MMA crown, setting the stage for a long-awaited rematch with Brazilian rival Bibiano Fernandes.

When he had the chance to get his hand on 'The Flash,' Belingon rose to the occasion. He edged out Fernandes via split decision to become the undisputed ONE bantamweight MMA world champion.
