Former Bantamweight Back to ‘Full Powers’ Ahead of Featherweight Debut
Nico Carrillo was on his way to the top of the bantamweight division. However, Nabil Anane torpedoed his rise in ONE Championship with a knockout at ONE 170.
The Scot has had time to reflect on that loss before his April 4 return at ONE Fight Night 30.
“I was devastated. I’d never wanted the clocks to turn back so much. The one thing I wanted to do in life at that point was turn the clocks back, and I knew I couldn’t. It broke my heart. I’ve never been as heartbroken as I was that night. I’d have taken a family member dying much easier than I took that defeat, but it’s now a reminder of what can happen in this game,” Nico Carrillo admitted to ONE.
