In his last outing, the Champ Belts affiliate authored another moment of pure violence to take out multi-time WBC Muay Thai world champion Lyndon Knowles.

He attacked from the sound of the bell, throwing one big missile after another that instantly pushed the Englishman into reverse gear – barely before he found his footing.

As a result, all he needed was a final hammering straight right that brought the contest to an end at 2:10 of the first frame, thus scoring a successful defense of his heavyweight Muay Thai throne.

It wasn't anything new from the Ukrainian megastar on the global stage of the promotion, though.

Along his impressive campaign, he's knocked out many more titans, including Alex Roberts, Iraj Azizpour, Guto Inocente, Murat Aygun, and Tarik Khbabez.

The 33-year-old returns to the Thai capital city seeking to extend his 15-bout win streak. If history is anything to go by, Roman Kryklia should be well on his way to another crowning moment when ONE Fight Night 37 comes to an end.
