ONE Championship 94 saw the promotional debut of American striking specialist Thanh Le. Yusup Saadulaev didn’t enjoy it all that much.

Heading into the second round of their featherweight contest, Le came out looking to flash his vaunted standup attack, and nearly did exactly that with a high kick that came up just short of the target. Saadulaev figured that as Le reset, it might be the perfect time to duck in for a takedown.

It most certainly was not.

Check out the highlight above, as Le (9-2) lands a perfectly timed strike that left Saadulaev (17-5-1) out cold.

Le’s win sees him rebound from a disappointing knockout loss to current UFC fighter Kevin Aguilar at LFA 40 in May 2018. Prior to that setback, Le had owned an eight-fight winning streak, with all eight of those victories earned by stoppage.
