The Best Knockouts Of 2016 #4: Timofey Nastyukhin’s Cross-Hook Combo
At ONE Championship’s inaugural show in Bangkok, ONE: KINGDOM OF CHAMPIONS, Top Russian featherweight Timofey Nastyukhin scored one of the biggest wins of his career when he knocked out Australian juggernaut Rob Lisita in just six seconds, tying the record for the fastest knockout in ONE Championship history.
Nastyukhin dropped Lisita with the first combination he threw, a straight right and a left hook, which both landed right on the button. Lisita immediately fell to the mat, and was pretty much out before he hit the ground. If there is any doubt as to whether or not Nastyukhin’s power is legitimate, there should be no doubt now. Lisita is one of the toughest opponents in ONE Championship’s lightweight division, and for someone to manhandle him like that truly speaks volumes.
Nastyukhin is the total package. Out of 10 victories so far in his career, Nastyukhin owns four wins by submission and an impressive six wins by knockout. A true action star in every sense of the word, none of his fights have gone the distance.
