#2. Eduard Folayang vs. Shinya Aoki - ONE Championship: Defending Honor

Former ONE Championship lightweight world champion Eduard 'The Landslide' Folayang's shocking knockout of Shinya 'Tobikan Judan' Aoki was monumental, to say the least.

Going 7-3 in the promotion leading to his fight with the seemingly unstoppable Aoki, Folayang was seen as the heavy underdog. The Philippines was thirsty for a new world champion after Folayang's teammate, Honorio Banario, lost his belt three years prior. Coming into his bout with the defending champion, the pressure was heavy on Folayang's shoulders.

The former SEA Games Wushu gold medalist delivered in grand fashion as he stuck to his gameplan and nullified all of Aoki's signature grappling attacks. Early in the third round, Folayang timed a flying knee as Aoki was shooting for a takedown.

This rattled the Japanese champion enough for Folayang to gain top position and land hard kneed and punches on the ground. It was clear that Aoki was hurt as he wasn't intelligently defending himself anymore, which lead to the TKO stoppage.

#1. Kevin Belingon vs. Andrew Leone - ONE Championship: Heroes of Honor

Former ONE bantamweight king Kevin 'The Silencer' Belingon delivered a ruthless turning sidekick that would make the great Joe Rogan proud. We guarantee that you will never find a turning sidekick landing more perfectly than this.

Belingon, who fights this Friday, December 17, at ONE Championship: Winter Warriors II, delivered one of his signature strikes against American Andrew Leone. The TKO finish served as the cherry on top of a sustained beatdown courtesy of the Filipino dynamo.

The timing, distance, speed and placement of the kick was absolute perfection. Though Leone tried his best to recover and fight off Belingon's subsequent punches on the ground, the fight was essentially over once the kick landed.
