Yuya Wakamatsu Knees His Way to a Second-Round KO Against Joshua Pacio – ONE 173 Highlights

Yuya Wakamatsu retained his ONE flyweight Muay Thai world championship at ONE 173, brutally knocking out Joshua Pacio within the night’s co-main occasion.

Taking a page out of Christian Lee’s handbook, Wakamatsu delivered his personal highlight-reel end in Tokyo, getting his opponent down on the mat earlier than unleashing a sequence of brutal knees that finally put his challenger to sleep simply earlier than the one-minute mark of the second spherical.

Official End result: Yuya Wakamatsu def. Joshua Pacio by way of KO (knees to the top) at 0:54 of Spherical 2.

With the win, Wakamatsu efficiently secures his first protection of the flyweight title and extends his win streak beneath the ONE banner to 5, together with highlight-reel KOs in opposition to Xie Wei, Adriano Moraes, and now Joshua Pacio.
