ONE Championship video: Zhang Lipeng lights Ruslan Emilbek Uulu up with knockout combination

Zhang Lipeng won big and then cashed in big at ONE’s latest show.

The veteran lightweight needed just 36 seconds to dust Ruslan Emilbek Uulu at Friday’s ONE Championship: Only the Brave event in Singapore as he landed a two-punch combination that sent Emilbek Uulu crashing to the mat.

Watch the amazing finish in this video.

Afterwards, it was announced on the broadcast that Zhang was awarded with a $50,000 prize for his highlight-reel knockout.

Zhang has now won three straight fights and he is on a 23-2-1 tear since parting ways with the UFC in 2015.

Rade Opacic, a heavyweight kickboxer, and Hiroyuki Takahara (welterweight) were also making waves at the ONE cage.

Opacic attacked Francesco Xhaja’s body and a series of punches forced a third knockdown. In the second round, Opacic was stopped by an automatic TKO. A $50,000 bonus was also awarded to Opacic for the powerful finish.

Tetsuka’s finish saw him put short-notice replacement Edson Marques away with a stinging left hand and he capped off his performance with a lively celebration.

That’s two straight wins now for Tetsuka.

Marques was stepping in on less than a week’s notice as a replacement for Zebaztian Kadestam, who was forced to withdraw due to a non-COVID-related illness.
