5 of the craziest knockouts from the MMA fighters competing at ONE: Only the Brave

#2. Wang Shuo vs. Kim Kyu Sung - ONE on TNT II

Knockouts are part of Wang Shuo's arsenal. The last time he stepped foot inside the circle at ONE on TNT II, it was perhaps one of the most significant moments in his six-year professional MMA career.

The Chinese star reminded everyone why he deserves his moniker, ‘Little Whirlwind'. He extended his win streak to five fights via a knockout in the third stanza against Kim Kyu Sung.

The two striking wizards went for each other’s heads in the opening frame. However, it was Kim who held the upper hand as the second canto approached. The young South Korean star continued to pile on more misery on the Chinese debutant.

Knowing he needed something special to convince the judges, Wang came out of his corner set to outstrike his foe in the final five minutes. That plan paid dividends.

Wang avoided his enemy’s left hook and countered with a right elbow that crashed smack on his rival’s jaw. Kim went down, and after Wang briefly touched him up with a flurry of punches from the canvas, the referee handed the win to the Chinese star.

Wang hopes to score another emphatic victory when he takes on Japanese powerhouse Tatsumitsu Wada on January 28.

#1. Anderson Silva vs. Andre Meunier - ONE: Roots of Honor

Anderson ‘Braddock’ Silva makes his second MMA outing in ONE Championship versus Englishman Paul Elliott on Friday, January 28.

The Brazilian is one of the few athletes in the promotion who switches between MMA and kickboxing. He owns several crazy knockouts in his professional resume, but none could topple his 74 second knockout against Andre 'The Giant' Meunier in his promotional debut at ONE: Roots of Honor in April 2019.

Both men traded heavy leather as soon as the circle door shut. They traded crosses, hooks, and jabs, and at that point, the next man to connect with precision and power was near-guaranteed a highlight-reel stoppage. Fortunately for ‘Braddock’, it was him.

His Australian opponent lunged forward with a looping left hook. However, Silva stepped back and narrowly avoided Meunier’s shot. Silva then landed a chopping right hand to the temple, which instantly earned him a knockout.

This performance perfectly explains why Silva sits atop of our list of craziest knockouts from the MMA stars at ONE: Only the Brave. He'll surely be seeking another finish when he opens the show on January 28.
