ONE Championship: “Beautiful debut” - Jaosuayai on cloud nine after cashing in $50,000 bonus in his first main event in US Primetime

Jaosuayai Mor Krungthepthonburi could not be more thrilled with the result of his latest performance. Last weekend, the Sor Dechapan product headlined ONE Fight Night 32: Nakrob vs. Jaosuayai on Prime Video, and took out the no.5-ranked flyweight Muay Thai contender Nakrob Fairtex via scintillating first-round knockout.

In the process, the 23-year-old cashed in on a hefty US$50,000 performance bonus from none other than ONE Championship chairman and CEO Chatri Sityodtong himself.

Speaking to veteran ONE Championship broadcast analyst Mitch Chilson after the fight, he thanked the promotion's head honcho.
