In yet another surprising upset, Timofey Nastyuhkin knocked out multiple-time Lightweight World Champion Eddie “The Underground King” Alvarez in the first round of their ONE Lightweight World Grand Prix Quarter-final bout at ONE: A NEW ERA back in March.

It was Alvarez's ONE Championship debut, and many expected him to reach the final.

Nastyuhkin's power and size proved to be too much for Alvarez, and the former moved on in the tournament after a dominant stoppage win. If Nastyuhkin doesn't reach the finals of the Grand Prix, it could set up a possible fourth-quarter rematch with Alvarez.

It would be an excellent opportunity for Alvarez to redeem himself, or for Nastyuhkin to prove his dominance.
