Johan Estupinan: "Sneaky southpaw" - Fans grimace at the utter pain Johan Estupinan unleashed on his Moroccan foe in Bangkok barnburner

Johan Estupinan solidified his reputation as a bona fide knockout artist with a sensational fourth consecutive victory under the ONE Championship banner nearly a year ago.

The Colombian phenom authored a highlight-reel performance at ONE Fight Night 25 in October 2024, squaring off against Morocco's hard-hitting Zakaria El Jamari in a thrilling flyweight Muay Thai showdown at the iconic Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.

Right from the opening bell, the two warriors went to war in a high-octane exchange. Estupinan showcased his trademark aggression, combining explosive punch combinations with dynamic airborne kicks.

El Jamari, in turn, responded with sharp counters that momentarily staggered the Colombian but couldn't halt his relentless pace.
