ONE Featherweight Champion Martin Nguyen shocked the MMA world when he knocked out Marat Gafurov to win the ONE title.
Last month, at ONE Championship: Quest for Greatness, Nguyen fought Gafurov in a rematch from their battle in 2015.
At ONE Championship: Odyssey of Champions, Gafurov submitted Nguyen in under a minute to win an interim champion.
After their first encounter, Gafurov won three straight fights. He won the undisputed ONE featherweight title and defended it twice.
Nguyen won four straight fights to earn another opportunity at the ONE title. All four of his fights ended in the first round by either knockout or submission.
With Gafurov being so dominant in their first battle, ONE fans were stunned when Nguyen ended the fight in the second round by knockout.
