Former ONE World title challenger “King of the North” Nico Carrillo has demonstrated incredible dedication to his craft by relocating halfway across the globe from his native Scotland to Thailand. Now living with his family and training full-time in the birthplace of Muay Thai, the 27-year-old firecracker is fully committed to taking his career in “the art of eight limbs” to the next level.
Carrillo is widely regarded as one of the most explosive fighters in ONE Championship and is sharpening his skills through world-class training. Speaking to the South China Morning Post, he shared insight into his rigorous routine:
“Six weeks out now so we’ll start really hitting the doubles hard and stuff now. Routine just training in the morning either running, strength and conditioning then Muay Thai at night. Bangtao is just an amazing place. Every time I’m here it just feels at home now. I’m making it at home now this time but it does feel like I settled in so quick and everybody at Bangtao was just so nice and we’ve got so many amazing trainers as well.”
Known for being absolutely unstoppable when he’s on point, Carrillo is ready to make a strong statement in his upcoming return to action in the world’s largest martial arts organization.
