What happened: Nico Carrillo scored a knockout over Zhou Jiaqiang in his kickboxing debut at ONE Fight Night 46. The stoppage came in the second round via a body shot. Carrillo is the same Carrillo who was booked for this kickboxing debut back in July.

Why it matters: Carrillo already competes as ONE's featherweight Muay Thai standout, and the kickboxing win adds a second discipline to his record inside the promotion. The result folds into a card broadcast across more than 195 countries, giving the win wide international exposure.

What to watch: Watch for how ONE books Carrillo's next kickboxing assignment following the debut win.
