Canadian-English standout Jake Peacock may have suffered a defeat inside the Circle at ONE 173, but the striking wizard won the hearts of fans in a clip that he uploaded onto his Instagram account (@jake_leestriking) after his fight.

Peacock squared off against Thai slugger Suakim Sor Jor Tongprajin in a bantamweight Muay Thai matchup on the star-studded spectacle, which emanated live from Tokyo's Ariake Arena on Sunday, Nov. 16.

Despite shifting into gear early and causing plenty of problems for his 30-year-old opponent, Jake Peacock went down to a crushing left hook early in the third stanza.

It was only the Road to ONE: Canada tournament winner's second defeat of his career, but he clearly didn't let that setback get the better of him.
