Guto Inocente is making a habit of scoring spectacular knockouts in One Championship.
The Brazilian bruiser served up a first-round KO to Serbian behemoth Rade Opacic in their heavyweight kickboxing clash at One 158: Tawanchai v Larsen at the Singapore Indoor Stadium last week to make it two in a row in the circle so far.
Inocente used the first half of the opening round to work out a pattern in Opacic's movements, and from there, he went to work, landing heavy blows.
The Brasilia native gained momentum as he inflicted damage on his rival and hunted for the finish. Then, with one jab to the liver, he ended the fight.
Opacic had been riding a four-fight knockout streak before he met the hulking 36-year-old star at One 158, making this dominant performance even more impressive.
And when taking into account that Inocente also finished Bruno Susano in his One debut, the question of who will give the Brazilian a real challenge inside the Circle begins to emerge.
Inocente has been thinking the same thing, and he has some ideas, including the One heavyweight and interim world champions.
"[Arjan] Bhullar and [Anatoly] Malykhin are very good, very strong fighters. I really want to face them. I want to work, I want to fight. I want to fight everyone in the division. I'm at my best. I'm full of health, so it's time to test myself," he said.
"I'm a complete fighter, and I want to show that in One Championship. I believe that One is the perfect place to work hard and fight kickboxing, Muay Thai, and MMA. That's what I want."
Inocente has spent the majority of his career focusing on kickboxing and has racked up 40 wins, 19 of which have come by knockout. However, he has also competed in mixed martial arts, where he accumulated 10 victories.
