WATCH: Jake Peacock shows no mercy in methodical beatdown of Shinji Suzuki in Muay Thai collision at ONE 171

Jake Peacock has made it his goal to be recognized as one of the all-time great Muay Thai fighters who happens to be born with one arm instead of the other way around. He made a huge step in that direction with a virtuoso performance at ONE 171: Qatar on Thursday, Feb. 20.

The English-born Canadian striker stepped into the circle against Japanese veteran Shinji Suzuki in a bantamweight Muay Thai battle. 'The One' thoroughly dominated most exchanges heading into the third round, where he turned up the heat.

Barely a minute into the final frame, Peacock logged two knockdowns to bring his total tally to three after dropping Suzuki with a flurry of strikes late in round two. With about a minute and a half remaining in the fight, Peacock poured on the punishment to send him to the canvas for the last time and secure the TKO victory.

Peacock continues to pass his tests with flying colors under the world's largest martial arts promotion. Now, it may only be a matter of time before he faces a ranked ONE bantamweight Muay Thai fighter.
