WATCH: Nong-O, Tawanchai, Rodtang showcase some of the nastiest leg-breaking kicks in ONE Championship
One of the best weapons in combat sports is the leg kick, which fighters utilize to inflict damage on their opponents. It may not be as satisfying to watch as a head kick, but leg kicks could certainly end a fight if landed properly.
A recent video published by ONE Championship on Instagram proved that leg kicks can be lethal, as they put together a compilation of some of the most brutal leg kicks that were witnessed under the promotion. In the caption, they wrote:
"Miss me with those leg kicks 😱 Check out some of the NASTIEST low strikes in ONE! 😨"
Some of the most notable names on the video compilation of the world's largest martial arts organization were former ONE bantamweight Muay Thai world champion Nong-O Hama, reigning ONE featherweight Muay Thai world champion Tawanchai PK Saenchai and current ONE flyweight Muay Thai world champion Rodtang Jitmuangnon.
Nong-O obliterated Liam Harrison with calf kicks, which resulted in a first-round TKO finish in their world title showdown at ONE on Prime Video 1 in August 2022.
This was also the same technique that Tawanchai used against Jamal Yusupov in February 2023 to retain his 26-pound golden in their ONE Fight Night 7 championship clash.
Meanwhile, at ONE: Warriors of Light in May 2019, Rodtang punished Sok Thy with multiple leg kicks as he ended what seemed like every combination with solid right leg kicks. The fight eventually ended in a second-round knockout finish for 'The Iron Man.'
More nasty leg kicks will be featured in ONE Championship with stacked events scheduled
ONE Championship has a lot in store for the upcoming weeks and months as it puts together solid fight cards featuring some of the best strikers in the world. The ONE Friday Fights 68 event will be headlined by the world title fight between Prajanchai PK Saenchai and Jonathan Di Bella for the vacant ONE strawweight kickboxing world championship on June 28.
It will be followed by the inaugural ONE women's strawweight kickboxing world title match between Jackie Buntan and Anissa Meksen on July 5 at ONE Fight Night 23.
Both cards will go down at the historic Lumpinee Boxing Stadium.
ONE Fight Night 23, just like all of ONE Championship's Amazon cards, is available live and free to all Prime Video subscribers in the United States and Canada.
