One FC has to improve their Heavyweight Division. I need to see KryKlia more active guy’s a monster.
That knockout was scary. Knowles is a great fighter.
Also the belts still looking huge on a 6”7 heavyweight is hilarious 😂.

Are there any notable heavyweights to challenge Kryklia?

This. MT no. He would find better harder challenges at HW KB (edited - in other promotion) instead.

Not in ONE Championship though. For whatever reason, they've let a lot of their heavyweights go.
Rade Opacic, Iraj Azizpour, Tarik Khbabez and Murat Aygen have joined Glory.
Anderson Braddock Silva and Guto Innocente are with K-1.
Giannis Stoforidis and Françesko Xhaja are with SENSHI, a Bulgarian promotion.
Andrei Stoicas last fight was with MO Fighting Show, a Romanian promotion.
There Wikipedia page only shows Roman Kryklia and Lyndon Knowles listed for heavyweight kickboxing/Muay Thai.
Glory has a monopoly on heavyweight kickboxers, so if Kryklia wants a challenge, he needs to join Glory.

I felt this was a big mis-match. Knowles looked so nervous and out of place. I am sure he’s a fantastic fighter, but it felt that the level difference was way too much in this particular fight.
