#2. Janet Todd's frightening head kick (ONE Championship: Century)

ONE Championship atomweight kickboxing champion Janet 'JT' Todd produced one of the most memorable head-kick knockouts in recent memory.

Her stunning decimation of Ekaterina Vandaryeva at ONE Championship: Century was like a scene from a movie. Fighting under Muay Thai rules, the slick Todd effectively closed the distance to nullify the height and reach of Vandaryeva. Todd also peppered Vandaryeva with hard leg and body kicks in the pocket.

In the second round, 'JT' surprised Vandaryeva by kicking high instead of kicking low. Expecting another low kick, Vandaryeva didn't see Todd's thunderous head kick as it connected to her jaw. What resulted was the skin-crawling sight of a stunned Vanderyeva walking away before dropping to the canvas. It was bone-chilling.

#1. Superbon shocks the world (ONE Championship: First Strike)

Superbon Banchamek produced perhaps the most highlight reel-worthy headkick knockout in ONE Championship history. The relatively unknown Superbon shocked the kickboxing world by knocking out the legendary Giorgio 'The Doctor' Petrosyan.

Petrosyan, known as one of the greatest pound-for-pound kickboxers of all time, entered the ONE circle with an air of invincibility about him. Having only lost twice in over 100 fights prior, Petrosyan was the heavy favorite to win the bout. Superbon, however, had other plans that night.

Early on, Petrosyan used a bullying type of offense to pressure Superbon. Superbon, to his credit, answered Petrosyan's aggression with his own. The two traded debilitating kicks and punches, with Petrosyan being the constant aggressor.

Early in the second round, however, Superbon made history by connecting with a textbook left hook-high kick combination in the pocket. The crowd was absolutely stunned to see a god-like figure drop to the floor like he'd been shot by a gun. The knockout was ruthless, violent, and absolutely unforgettable.
