Thai rising star Jaosuayai Mor Krungthepthonburi got rewarded handsomely after notching the most thunderous finish at ONE Fight Night 32 last June 6. The 23-year-old knockout artist blitzed through his Thai compatriot Nakrob Fairtex, finishing him in just 52 seconds in the curtain closer at the Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.
The world's largest martial arts organization certainly didn't leave him hanging, rewarding Jaosuayai with a massive $50,000 performance bonus for the biggest win of his promising career.
Jaosuayai was filled with emotion after receiving his incentive from ONE Chairman and CEO Chatri Sityodtong and made sure to acknowledge his loving mother's presence in the legendary arena.

"To be here with my family, with my father, and my mother watching on the side as well. I was thinking to myself because today is also my mother’s birthday, so I’m taking this win for her."
Jaosuayai couldn't have given his mother the perfect birthday gift. After earning a six-figure contract with the promotion, the ONE Friday Fights alum continued his rapid ascent and has now won his last five matches.
Jaosuayai says he's ready for Rodtang
Jaosuayai just took out Nakrob with relative ease and would likely steal his fifth spot in the stacked 135-pound Muay Thai division rankings.
The 23-year-old rising star has no plans of slowing down anytime soon and believes he's ready for the big dogs at flyweight.
Asked if he's ready to take on former flyweight Muay Thai kingpin Rodtang Jitmuangnon, Jaosuayai didn't hesitate and gave a resounding yes.
He said in his ONE Fight Night 32 post-event interview:
"I never turn down opponents. So if the chance comes, I will definitely catch it. So if ONE Championship sees that I am fit to fight with Rodtang, I will take that."
