WATCH: Nico Carrillo completes four cycles of the flippy stuff following dominant knockout win over Saemapetch in Bangkok

The only thing that can top a massive victory inside the ONE Circle is the post-fight celebration and Muay Thai star Nico Carrillo did just that in his most recent outing which happened at ONE Fight Night 23 last Friday, July 5.

'King of the North' added renowned Thai head-hunter Saemapetch Fairtex to his growing list of victims after knocking him down thrice in the third round to stay undefeated through four contests - all of them coming by way of a finish.

To celebrate another great win in his run under the world's largest martial arts promotion, the Scottish sensation pulled off four backflips to represent all four successful forays in the Circle.

Check out his acrobatic feat below as posted by ONE Championship on Instagram.

The Deachkalek Muay Thai Academy product continues to look extremely comfortable going up against elite-level talent and his hopes of challenging for the ONE bantamweight Muay Thai world championship just might happen soon.

However, he will need to wait for the outcome of Jonathan Haggerty's world title defense against Superlek Kiatmoo9 at ONE 168: Denver on September 6 inside the Ball Arena in Denver.


Nico Carrillo shares how he pulled off the finish against Saemapetch

Upending Saemapetch via TKO is a big feather in the cap of the 25-year-old and he revealed how he did it in the post-fight interview with South China Morning Post.

Nico Carrillo stated:

"He caught me with it in exchanges but every time he threw it off the bat, I was just timing the distance and controlling his shots well. That was it."
