Can Holzken cement his legacy as one of the best strikers in history? Catch him THIS WEDNESDAY, 21 April, on Bleacher Report in U.S. prime time!
That uppercut shut his showboating off ❤️😆
turned off his lights too..lol
sent his arrogance to the cosmos
Holzken is so patient. He doesn't take the bait from taunts, and he just stays laser focused. Very solid fighter.
How can you tell when its bait?
Nieky was walking Cosmo into all sorts of traps there. He had Cosmo losing his balance throughout a lot of the fight, and would throw bombs when the opportunity came. That's the thing about Nieky, his western boxing training elevates him amongst others in a no clinch-no elbow rule set, and he's playing chess in there with proper professional level punching technique.
Great comment you know yr stuff, Respect.
At the end he was to tired to keep his hands up. When he got cocky it was a matter of time.
Beautiful work by Nieky and a perfect finish to shut Alexandre up! Pure class 💪🏼
man ruined the ending
Holzken very methodically walked him down, great patience power and accuracy you just knew the right hand was coming.
They should call Holzken 'the surgeon'... he's always precise, no energy exhausted when not needed... such a clean style, no clutter.
he looked like a beast against Northcutt but when put up against someone of the same experience he looks like a punching bag. hmm, interesting.
Exactly why I thought
In Cosmo's defense, he has been a world champion and all that. He knows how to fight. Perhaps Nieky is just a different kind of beast. The Ronaldo of kickboxing.
@@BluuurghAg9 nahh hoost, aerts, baukaw must be the maradonas then
Meh. . .he just slipped a (rather) lucky hook on Northcutt. he threw those here with Nieky too. Those are rather good but wild hooks. . .sometimes they land. Too bad Northcutt had his guard so damn low, i think that could've been a good fight.
@@campland2880 northcutt should have fought in a circle cage. dude was so cornered in that ring and he had bad footing. wth was northcutts father thinking when he made that fight?
That uppercut sent him right into Cosmos
I see what you did there.
😂👊🏻✨✨✨
bet he saw stars..
hes never been the same since. Still astral traveling through the cosmos
The lads a human weapon. Max respect, Nieky Holzkien. What a debut in One Championship.
It's always great when "is that all you got" fighters get KO'd. Best kind of footage.
Just love it when "is that all you've got' Clowns get demolished. Cosmo had nooo chance.
If a fighter acknowledges damage, it was most likely a heavy hit. No matter if he laughs it off or asks for more, he definitely felt it and wasn't too happy about that fact.
Dude is no clown he was trying to play off the damage as to not let on he was hurting. He's a VERY EXPERIENCED fighter. He would easily drop you and I def not someone to call clown BY A LONG SHOT.
@@jimmyreyz4363 You funny.. my mother would drop me. That's why I am not a pro-fighter. I still love it when someone acting as a clown is demolished.
@@jimmyreyz4363 Maybe dont do that when you are keeping your right hand away from your chin with your back to the cage? Cosmo looks massive here, but its Nicky who is keeping him on the back foot.
this "is that all you've got" is all part of the game. It's not clowning. Everything they do in there has a purpose. Please shut up if you don't know what you are talking about. Makes you look like a clown.
I don't care about that KO, but that lips to lips kiss with Holzken's coach was impressive🤣
His coach is his Sjef Weber, fyi ;)
Never did understand that (💩),why would you kiss youre father in law on the lips🙈🙈
Kissed father in-law just like kissed his daughter.
@@youngtula8928 its a cultural thing. We kiss a lot in the Netherlands.
@@nielsgroothedde8038 Pretending to be southern Europe?
Seems like cosmo really wanted to get knocked out
Yeah I felt that. Mafia payed him iff
On point 🎯
@@RyleKittenhouse that is true, they're involved.
he admitted this on a podcast in Brazil.
Cosmo lost via sticking out his tongue and posing, while forgetting that Holzken is the better fighter.
Lol. He pissed off Nieky, bad move.
Second time lost
Nieky much better
Sage Northcutt to Nieky Holzken: "My Hero!"
sage should have taken this kind of fight
@@DeepThinkingGPU and he would’ve got slept even worse 😂
Whatever cornball casual
Lol
Sage lost because he didn't have more tattoos than cosmo
Deadliest strike was the kiss from the coach right after
I remember this dude Cosmo breaking northcuts face in 7 spots and just now realized I had never listened to that audio. Hearing dudes credentials before this fight has me wondering why they booked that fight to begin with. There's a huge gap there lol
And this dude just spanked Cosmo lol
Nope Not happening Holzken is a legend in kickboxing.
Cosmo is a veteran of the fight business, he has over 50 kickboxing fights and is on MMA for 10 or so years.
Real mismatch, but Northcut and his team accepted.
Watching this after watching comso vs sage northcutt. And why am I just now realizing how deep the art of striking is. There’s so many high level strikers these ufc fighters wouldn’t stand a chance against these kickboxers.
Yeah, top dog kickboxers would never lose to the best mma fighters in striking department atleast.
Depends. There's some pretty good kickboxers in the UFC, and some pretty good Muay Thai fighters throughout MMA broadly
That lady's & gentlemen is why you don't taunt during a fight & act like your opponent isn't doing anything to you, Coz then you get knocked the F%$# Out.
When i fought, i always messed around and taunted. It's part of the show and it helps gain momentum to make money as a fighter.
@@lmaoanatorhilarious2582 this
@@adohmnail6445 hell no lmfao 😂😂😂 we weren’t allowed to mess around unless we were good
@@lmaoanatorhilarious2582 yeah you re good and Cosmo s not:))))))))))))))))
@@lmaoanatorhilarious2582 Seems you may not be telling the truth.....
Wat een beest die nieky
That uppercut was ruthless!
There's nothing sweeter than watching a cocky prick go from taunting his opponent to face-planting unconscious...
That was a masterpiece .
Cosmo felt the flight response, he was actually sticking his tongue out at himself for feeling inferior
More accurate with his punches than kisses at the end there.
As long as it didn't land on the lips, it's a successful kiss.
Cosmo picked up a sponsorship from Tempur-pedic after this fight.
the card girls reaction to that upper cut knockout is priceless
Proud to be Dutch 🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱
Holzken absolutely owned him from the bell. . . seemed an uneven match.
Holzken never dissapoints! He dominated cosmo,and cosmo is no slouch!
Impressive fight!!
Get a hold of that! Lovely boxing!
He avenged Nortcutt with the Uppercut! 😂
Nieky Holzken reminds me of the liquid man off Terminator lol
I watched him win a glory tournament, guy is unbelievable, no quit, keeps coming forward, very technical and dangerous as hell.
@@alltimeklazzikz I know, it was glory 13 back in 2013. I watched it live and he already had a ton of experience.
Liquid man, would it take you 5 seconds to google who it was?
@@johnm3907 Why comment? You knew who I was referring to.
Nieky: Cosmo are you hungry ? Did you have lunch, eat this.
Wonderful fight
Why is this Knock Out SOOOO satisfying to watch?
Nieky is awesome!!
One Fc: where kick boxers fight in cages & MMA fighters in rings
New to ONE so after watching that Sage Northcutt fight I though wow this Cosmo guy was pretty good and would be tough to beat. Enter Holzken.
Super easy, barely an inconvenience
It's rigged...
This was satisfying to watch.
Took em to school with that upper cut 💯🔥🔥🔥🔥👊🏾👍🏾
I love his kickboxing style
Great to the great Niecky in vintage form again.
Lekker Nieky 💪💯
Браво!!!!
Maat! Jij blijft de beste! Mooi dat die gast denkt dat die grappig is..bots, licht uit bij die praatjes maker👌🏻👊🏻
Goodnight Irene.....Peach !! 👊
Não sou fã do Cosmos, mas pra mim ele não soltou o jogo, posso até estar enganado, mais acho que essa luta foi entregue
Nieky still my favorite fighter
lekker bezig Nieky!
cosmo has been sent flying into cosmos
as soon as I saw dudes 90 Wins 14 Losses record, I knew he was going to win lol
Dit is jaren geleden!!
Quelle domination !!!! super
Holzken looks like the healthy cool twin brother Ninja from the Andwoort!
I absolutely love holzken brilliant
The right hand of Alexandria's deadly, I would time my workout around it haha
Class act
Космо довыпендривался!😁👍
É assim que se entrega uma lua.
Excellent Performance by Nieky .
that ppercut was perfectly choosen and placed
Супер !
Alexandre needs to focus more on his defensive game instead of juicing.
For real. Those roid traps don't do him any favors.
Mortal Kombat vibes Fatality. Finish Him
He got knocked out so hard he saw Infinity Stones.
He needs the soul gem to revive him.
Very sportsmanship performance by Flying Dutchman
não entendi essa luta até agora o cosmo lutando super recoado, recebendo vários golpes contundentes e ficando parado na frente do oponente, muito estranho essa luta.
Nieky ! 👏👌✊✊
Very good
What sport is this
9:40 They are a close team
O primeiro knock down foi decisivo Cosmo perdeu o rumo de casa e não conseguiu mais achar distância
Cosmo na encarada estava derrotado. Muito estranho.
Ele disse que praticamente vendeu essa luta por conta da pressão dos organizadores. Ele não queria lutar nessa categoria de peso, mas precisava do dinheiro para a família dele. Tanto que essa luta foi a única derrota dele por KO.
Did the coach or the ring guy smooch him at the end? OR did I misunderstand something?
Ники зверь!! The beast!!!
Nederland 💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪
Zo lekker..
When was this fight?
2010
Gotta keep them hands up all the time when fighting a killer like Nieky
Красиво, все сделал! Молодец :-)
round one was a 10-7 in my books
Frick Cosmo
Why do you say that?
Not sure why all the comments are hating on the taunting and not just enjoying a beautiful performance.
I think Cosmo should have invested more in left leg kicks, in the second round, to keep a safe distance until he hurt Holzken's arm and solid base, which had already filled the way to victory.
Acompanho o cosmo a quase 3 década e esse não é o estilo dele. Não entendi o porquê "lutou" dessa forma.
👍🏽 52
what weight?
Lightweight
Do you felt that Cosmo? Karma at its best...
So we we just gonna ignore holzken kissing his coach on the lips after the knockout?
trận này hay phết ae ạ
The ring girls are actually robots
Holzken is a different beast🦍💪
Ники красавчик!!!
One is already a better company to fight for then UFC.
Wow this is not mma! So elegant.
Один и тот же бой показывают
Ammazza questo Olandese che tecnica
WOW!!!
