“I don’t party” - Nico Carrillo likes to drink beer and eat chocolate to celebrate victory

First-ranked ONE bantamweight Muay Thai world title challenger 'King of the North' Nico Carrillo of the United Kingdom is one of the most ripped athletes in the game, and it takes insane work ethic to achieve a sixpack like the one he has. But even the Scottish sensation says he indulges in a cheat meal every now and then.

Following Carrillo's most recent victory over no.4-ranked contender Saemapetch Fairtex at ONE Fight Night 23 on Prime Video last week, 'King of the North' planned on giving in to his cravings.

Speaking to South China Morning Post in a recent interview, Carrillo revealed the top two items on his ideal cheat meal checklist.

​

'King of the North' said:

"Chocolate. Can I have some chocolate right now? Probably chocolate. But I do like a beer. As I got older my tastebuds have gotten used to Italian beer. I like that when I go out with my fiance but I don’t party. I just have one after meals and I’m good. I have a Spanish background that’s why I like beer."

Carrillo scored a second-round technical knockout over Saemapetch at Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, sending the hometown favorite to the canvas three times to force the referee to call a halt to the contest.

Fans in the United States and Canada can catch a replay of ONE Fight Night 23 absolutely free and on-demand via Amazon Prime Video.
