#4. Honorio Banario vs. Jaroslav Jartim - ONE Championship: Kings of Destiny
It's easy to forget that former ONE Championship featherweight world champion Honorio 'The Rock' Banario was a straight-up machine in his heyday. Though his overall record is not the cleanest, the Team Lakay veteran is a marvel when he gets the chance to shine.
Banario's knockout of Czech fighter Jaroslav Jartim exemplifies one of Team Lakay's greatest strengths: their unpredictable power.
What made the knockout so memorable was how unexpected it was. The grueling battle was mostly fought on the ground and stayed there for the majority of the bout. Though not the most technical grappler, Banario used his signature Lakay strength and cardio to continually give Jartim problems on the ground.
A minute-and-a-half into the second round, 'The Rock' found a brief separation on the feet. That was when the Lakay fighter landed a textbook stepping left hook off a right cross to the body.
The punch landed flush on Jartim's jaw and instantly knocked him out cold. The Czech fighter was unconscious even before he hit the canvas. The surprise knockout in the middle of an otherwise grappling-heavy bout made everybody jump out of their seats.

#3 Joshua Pacio vs Yosuke Saruta II - ONE Championship Roots of Honor
Reigning ONE Championship strawweight world champion Joshua 'The Passion' Pacio proved that Lakay fighters keep their knockout power at all times. His marvelous knockout of rival Yosuke Saruta in their second bout was as brutal as it was awe-inspiring.
The classic back-and-forth bout was the definition of a see-saw battle. After getting himself knocked down by an overhand right by Saruta in the first round, Pacio bounced back to keep the fight competitive.
The fight for ONE Championship's strawweight belt was like a highly-kinetic chess match. The two fighters used speed and timing to repel each other's momentum. Aside from the knockdown by Saruta in round one, no one really had the upper hand coming into the fourth round.
Deep into the fourth frame, as fatigue settled in, Pacio showed why he's the ONE Championship world champion. 'The Passion' landed a devastating head kick similar to Edward Kelly's where his knee instead of his shin landing on the Japanese's head.
Saruta dipped his head down as he was trying to land another overhand right. As a result, the Japanese's head collided with the champion's knee that shut his lights off instantly.
