The fight card is crammed full of interesting battles, with World Titles being contested, veterans returning, and young phenoms making their promotional bow all in one exciting evening of martial arts action.
A highlight-reel finish will be the goal of each competitor, and headliners John “Hands of Stone” Lineker and Fabricio “Wonder Boy” Andrade are well-known for those.
So instead of focusing on the athletes in the main event, we’ve broken down some of the best finishes from other fighters appearing on the card to ensure you don’t miss a potential show-stealer at ONE on Prime Video 3.
Danial Williams’ Body Shot Folds Muay Thai Legend
“Mini T” Danial Williams put the entire strawweight division on notice when he finished former ONE Strawweight World Champion Dejdamrong Sor Amnuaysirichoke in his promotional MMA debut at ONE: BAD BLOOD this February.
The Perth native troubled the legendary Thai striker with a bucket of attacks right from the start of the action. Whether it was his jabs, stinging leg kicks, or straights – he was uncorking them on repeat from the sound of the bell.
By the time the second round got underway, it looked as if Dejdamrong didn’t want to be there. And just 95 seconds in, it was “Good night, Irene” for him.

“Mini T” connected with a right hand to the body that instantly crumbled the veteran star, handing the Aussie-Thai bruiser his first victory in the all-encompassing sport in ONE.
Kim Jae Woong Puts Former Divisional King To Sleep
“The Fighting God” Kim Jae Woong has eight knockouts in his career, but his finish of Martin “The Situ-Asian” Nguyen at ONE: REVOLUTION last September stands as one of his most wicked yet.
Kim took some time to settle into the contest. But once his hands were loaded, he went berserk on the former two-divisional king.
The pair traded blow in the pocket, and with wild shots being thrown from both men, they were understandably fired up.
Nguyen seemed to want it a little more, which turned out to be too much for his own good.
As “The Situ-Asian” stepped to the South Korean star, with his trademark overhand right prepped, Kim stepped away and countered with a right cross that instantly left Nguyen looking at the ceiling.
Kim swarmed with ground-and-pound from there, forcing the referee to intervene at the 3:15 mark of the opening round.
Sinsamut Stuns Kickboxing Icon In Promotional Bow
Not many fighters have shocked Muay Thai and kickboxing fans like Sinsamut Klinmee did at ONE X in March this year.
The Thai had the odds heavily stacked against him, and for good reason, as his rival was kickboxing legend, Nieky “The Natural” Holzken.

Holzken uncorked a left hook, but Sinsamut beat him to the mark with one of his own. The punch dropped “The Natural” instantly, giving the 26-year-old a sensational debut and a sweet US$50,000 performance bonus.
