Carrillo first defeated Furkan Karabag in his debut at ONE Friday Fights 13 in April 2023 via third-round TKO. Two months later, in June of the same year, he quickly followed it with another TKO win against Muangthai PK Saenchai at ONE Friday Fights 22.
His latest and biggest triumph under the world's largest martial arts organization came in December 2023 at ONE Friday Fights 46, when he engineered a come-from-behind win against former ONE bantamweight Muay Thai world champion Nong-O Hama.
That win has skyrocketed the Daechkalek Muay Thai Academy athlete to the number one spot in the divisional rankings, putting him one step closer to earning his first shot at the ONE bantamweight Muay Thai world championship.
