ONE on Prime Video 1 kicked off with Zebaztian Kadestam vs. Iuri Lapicus at a catchweight bout. The former welterweight champion, though, missed weight, didn’t miss impressing the fight fans with a quick first-round T/Ko win over Lapicus.

The 31-year-old ‘The Bandit’ took on the 26-year-old, who was coming off an NC (no contest) result against American star Eddie Alvarez. Whereas, the former champion was coming off a win against Valmir da Silva.

The champion came with a flashy jumping knee and was taken down immediately. However, he got back from the ground quickly and knocked out Lapicus. The former welterweight king showed why he was at the top of the mountain. A timely placed uppercut and a first-round finish were all it took for Kadestam.
