ONE Championship 87 video highlights, including that sickening head-kick KO

ONE Championship was back in Indonesia this past Saturday with a title fight, but an early result was the show stealer.

It took Niu Kang Kang (5-1) just 31 seconds to put away Sunoto Peringkat (10-5) in their catchweight fight at ONE Championship 87. Kang caught Peringkat with a perfectly placed left shin to the head. Peringkat hit the canvas immediately, out cold, and Kang leapt to the top of the cage in celebration.

ONE Championship 87 took place at Istora Senayan in Jakarta, Indonesia. The card streamed on ONE’s app.
