About this listen
In this episode of The Anything Combat Show, Johnny K sits down with rising ONE Championship Muay Thai contender Nico Carrillo, fresh off a dominant victory over Luke Lessei. Nico reflects on his transition to a higher weight class — a change that has dramatically improved his health, confidence, and performance. He admits that fighting at bantamweight left him entering bouts at around 50–60% capacity, and looking back, he feels he may have waited too long to move up due to being so close to a title shot.
Nico also opens up about his loss to Nabil Anane — a defeat he doesn’t shy away from. He attributes the outcome to an extreme weight cut and poor health but refuses to make excuses and holds no grudge. He believes letting go of the past prevents bitterness and allows life to move forward. If the opportunity comes, he’d love to run it back — not out of hatred, but to rewrite the story.
