Scottish knockout artist and ONE Championship superstar 'King of the North' Nico Carrillo isn't even thinking about the fight game right now.
After a spectacular performance in his return to the featherweight Muay Thai division in ONE, Carrillo has earned a break and is content with allowing ONE Championship to dictate who he fights next.
Speaking to the South China Morning Post in a recent interview, Carrillo said he will wait for his next foe in the world's largest martial arts organization.
'King of the North' said:
"I'm not even trying to call anybody out. I'm sure that ONE Championship will make the right decision. They'll make the right fight when the time comes. I'm sure they want me back."
Carrillo is fresh off a scintillating second-round knockout victory over Thai veteran 'Killer Kid' Sitthichai Sitsongpeenong at ONE Fight Night 30: Kryklia vs. Knowles on Prime Video.
The victory also earned Carrillo a US $50,000 performance bonus from ONE chairman and CEO Chatri Sityodtong.
