Roman Kryklia doesn't hunt for finishes - they just happen when he steps into the Circle.

The reigning ONE light heavyweight kickboxing and heavyweight Muay Thai world champion returns to action in an attempt to add yet another 26 pounds of gold in the main event of ONE Fight Night 37 on Friday, November 7.

That evening, he faces undefeated Turkish slugger Samet Agdeve for the inaugural ONE heavyweight kickboxing world title.

In a pre-fight interview with ONE Championship ahead of his bid to become a triple champ, the 34-year-old Ukrainian powerhouse opened up about his devastating finishing ability and the mindset he brings into each of his fights inside the Circle.

"I have a scary knockout power. But when I go in the ring, I don't look for a knockout. It comes naturally," Roman Kryklia said.

His perfect 7-0 record in ONE Championship, filled with highlight-reel knockouts, validates this philosophy.

For the Ukrainian giant, who stands as the most dominant striker in two of the heaviest weight brackets in the striking realm, allowing knockouts to "come naturally" has proven far more effective than desperately chasing them.

Roman Kryklia's natural power faces ultimate test in Samet Agdeve

While Roman Kryklia's knockout power has dominated every opponent in ONE Championship, Samet Agdeve represents a different kind of challenge when the two trade leather in Bangkok, Thailand, this Friday.

The 21-year-old promotional (17-0) has put 12 opponents to sleep with a variety of match-ending weapons, and his accuracy and creativity when loading up his striking weapons could prove useful against the Ukrainian megastar.

Will the Champ Belts colossal become a triple world champion with another natural knockout, or will Agdeve's power disrupt his perfect ONE Championship run?
