Jordan Estupinan ONE Fight Night 31: "Leaving our flag on the highest" - Fans marvel at Colombian striker Jordan Estupinan's gritty win over Ali Saldoev

ONE Championship's flyweight Muay Thai roster is one of the most stacked divisions within the promotion, and Jordan Estupinan is quickly making a name for himself among fans because of his highly engaging fighting style.

The Colombian star was tasked with opening the ONE Fight Night 31 card last Friday, May 2, where he went toe-to-toe with the hard-hitting Ali Saldoev. The legendary Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, hosted the event.

Estupinan left little to the imagination as he thoroughly dissected the Archangel Michel affiliate throughout all three rounds to notch his second consecutive win in ONE.

The world's largest martial arts promotion posted 'Panda Kick' celebrating his victory in an Instagram post, which can be seen below:
