#4. Former ONE welterweight world champion Zebaztian Kadestam

13 wins with 11 knockouts. Former ONE welterweight world champion Zebaztian 'The Bandit' Kadestam is so powerful that most of his losses come by way of his opponents desperately taking him down to avoid his punches. We haven't seen a fighter so feverently avoided on the feet than this Swedish powerhouse.

Seriously, if you dare trade punches with this man, you're most likely going to have a short night.

Once 'The Bandit' connects with your jaw cleanly, you're going to be sent to the shadow realms for sure. The powerful Swede used his fists to win the ONE welterweight world title by separating Tyler McGuire from his senses.

The punch nearly took McGuire's head clean off his shoulders:


#3. ONE Championship bantamweight slugger Kwon Won Il

Out of the 10 wins scored in 'Pretty Boy' Kwon Won Il's career, 8 of them were via knockout and were all caused by his sledgehammer fists. The surging South Korean has bombs for hands and has been using them as his go-to weapon inside the Circle. It has been highly effective so far, to say the least.

Former ONE bantamweight world champion Kevin Belingon is as tough as they come but what Kwon did to him raised a lot of eyebrows. Known for his world-class conditioning and otherworldly toughness, nobody saw Belingon folding to a body shot. Kwon did just that in their fight.

Imagine how powerful your punch has to be for you to shatter an elite fighter's mid-section so badly that he couldn't continue. That's Kwon Won Il's punches in a nutshell. The Belingon knockout was Kwon's 3rd straight KO win before losing to Fabricio Andrade earlier this month.

Look to see more fireworks from 'Pretty Boy' in the future as he continues to use his powerful hands to put opponents away inside the Circle.
