After the fight, he told ONE Championship:

"Osmanov is really a fighter who wouldn't be out of place in the rankings. I want to rest a bit and then look for my next target. Right now, I want to bask in today's joy."

Needless to say, Yoza has emerged as one of the top kickboxers in ONE Championship, and a fighter fans should definitely watch out for.

Yuki Yoza says footwork was key to beating Elbrus Osmanov: "Foreigners often compare my movement to a ninja"

Japanese kickboxing star Yuki Yoza turned in a virtuoso performance against Elbrus Osmanov last week and had fans and observers alike completely mesmerized by his skills.

The 27-year-old likened his performance to that of an assassin. He told ONE:

"Foreigners often compare my movement to a ninja, so I wanted to show that kind of smooth movement."

Yoza was also proud to have troubled Osmanov with his signature leg kicks, as he said:

"It's simple - kick with full force with the intention of breaking their leg bone. Don't think about unnecessary things like 'what if it gets caught' - just kick with full power. It sounds simple but it's difficult, and that's the key point."
