ONE Fight Night 32: Taiki Naito says he’ll use momentum of ending Johan Estupinan’s unbeaten record to his next match: “Win that by KO”

Japanese striker Taiki Naito didn't mind missing out on the $50,000 performance bonus at ONE Fight Night 32.

'Silent Sniper' pulled off one of the biggest shockers inside Lumpinee Stadium last June 6 when he snapped Johan Estupinan's 27-0 undefeated record in their action-packed flyweight Muay Thai encounter.

The 29-year-old veteran showed incredible patience and composure to weather Panda Kick's aggressive ways. Naito's reflexes were on point, particularly his counterstriking, as he nullified Estupinan's fire with sharp and precise retaliation en route to a decisive majority decision victory.

Taiki Naito added:
