Muay Thai rising star Johan Estupinan had a performance to remember last Friday, October 4, at ONE Fight Night 25 inside the Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, with an electrifying knockout of Zakaria El Jamari.
'Panda Kick' dominated most of the exchanges with his speed and technique, though an overhand right from El Jamari slipped through his defense early in the first round. An enraged Estupinan exacted his revenge with a three-punch combo in the second round, leading to the knockout victory.

The 22-year-old Colombian is now undefeated through four fights since starting his tenure under the ONE banner with a 27-second knockout of Kouta Omori this past May. Overall, he spots a perfect 26-0 resume.
Prior to ONE Fight Night 25, Estupinan added Filipino-American standout Sean Climaco to his list of victims with a thrilling TKO finish at ONE 168: Denver on Sept. 6 inside the Ball Arena.
Fans are hoping Estupinan's next foray inside the circle will be against fellow Muay Thai sensation Johan Ghazali, who is coming off a knockout win of his own at ONE 168: Denver over Josue Cruz.
Johan Estupinan wanted a first-round knockout of Zakaria El Jamari
Johan Estupinan's immense fight IQ played a significant role in his flyweight Muay Thai bout with Zakaria El Jamari, though the knockout came later than he initially projected.
In the post-fight interview with Mitch Chilson, Estupinan stated:
"It all depends on my opponent. The plan was to kick, but I changed it. I couldn't finish him in the first round, but I tried. And this is a show, I'm just giving you the best show."
