Johan Estupinan comments on when he decided to go for the knockout against Zakaria El Jamari

Johan Estupinan's victory at ONE Fight Night 25 was not without difficulty as he got tagged with a hard overhand right from Zakaria El Jamari barely a minute into their epic flyweight Muay Thai battle.

In the post-fight interview with ONE fighter-turned-commentator Mitch Chilson, Estupinan cited that punch as the turning point in the fight, saying:

​

"No, no, no, he woke me up. Actually, I got angry when he hit me. I was like, 'No, no one can touch you. Wake up! Hit him!'"
