This content is protected Really good fight. Kira is touted as one of the best young fighters from Japan. His first title shot is against arguably the best fighter in the division. A real trial by fire for the Japanese fighter. If case anyone is wondering. Santiago has been made champion in recess.
Insane finish! Feels bad to see Triple C get flattened like that, especially after he's had such an unfortunate year getting stripped and having his fight cancelled due to the US invasion of Venezuela. But if ever there was a way to stamp your name at world level, landing a sensational left hook one-hitter to win your maiden title bid is certainly the way to do it. I hope Kira stays around long enough at 108 to beat up Santiago. An all-Japanese clash against Takami or Iwata would also be heartily welcomed.
Kira got hit clean quite a bit, hopefully he'll tighten up going forward. Fantastic way to finish the fight!
