This was supposed to be the start of Bruno Pucci’s (4-2) big comeback streak, as the Evolve MMA product and two-time BJJ No-Gi World Champion had finally put a series of nagging back problems behind him.
China’s Nuerdebieke Bahetihan (3-1), however, had other ideas in their featherweight clash at ONE: UNBREAKABLE WARRIORS.
Once the opening bell rang, Pucci came out strong with a one-two combination that had Bahetihan backing up towards the cage.
However, Pucci inexplicably hesitated for a moment with his guard low. That’s when Bahetihan uncorked a devastating right hook to knock Pucci out cold. A hammerfist on the ground soon followed to punctuate the stoppage, with referee Olivier Coste diving in to save Pucci from further damage.
The finish came at 0:08 of the very first round, making it the second-fastest KO in ONE history. The existing record is jointly held by Mario Satya Wirawan and Timofey Nastyukhin at 0:06.
