Anane set up his victory by landing a sweet one-two combination that stunned Carrillo at the 1:23 mark of the opening canto. Thirty seconds later, he unleashed a solid head kick that had his opponent all wobbly just to beat the count.

Sensing that he had Carrillo on the ropes, the 20-year-old sensation went for the finish, landing a right hand with 25 ticks to go and ending the fight. ONE Championship relived the rousing finish that Nabil Anane essayed against Carrillo with a video post on Instagram,
