Video: ONE Championship’s Top 10 Knockouts of the Year: Part 2 – Cosmo Alexandre demolishes debuting Sage Northcutt

It’s been a spectacular year for Singapore-based promotion ONE Championship. With big-name signings and a packed schedule of events encompassing MMA, kickboxing and Muay Thai, 2019 has been the biggest year in ONE Championship history.

The promotion has served up more than its fair share of spectacular finishes over the course of the year, as the stars of Asian MMA have delivered a plethora of eye-catching knockouts to wow the fans across the region.

In Part 2 of ONE’s official countdown of their Top 10 knockouts of the year, we recap the finishes that occupy spots 6 to 4 on their list, with three more ONE Championship stars joining the list with spectacular KOs.

The latest batch of entrants features two Filipino strawweights, with Robin Catalan’s stunning head-kick KO of Gustavo Balart slotting in at No. 4 and Jeremy Miado’s finish of China’s Miao Li Tao listed at No. 6. But perhaps the most notable addition to the list is that of Cosmo Alexandre at No. 5.

The Brazilian kickboxer, known as “Good Boy”, had previously competed in ONE’s striking-only league ONE Super Series against the world’s top kickboxers and Muay Thai fighters, but he also had a 7-1 MMA record (including a 5-1 record in Bellator) from earlier in his career. And the power striker switched back to MMA to welcome former UFC prospect Sage Northcutt to the ONE Championship ring at “ONE: Enter The Dragon” back in May, and handed the young Texan a brutal beating as he finished “Super” Sage in devastating fashion in just 29 seconds.

Northcutt’s first career knockout loss left him with facial fractures that saw him undergo nine hours of surgery. But the always-upbeat 23-year-old was in typically good spirits afterwards, saying: “My terminator face is not too shabby. ‘I’ll be back!’”

Paul Hughes explains choosing PFL over UFC offer: ‘I deserve to get compensated’
