The 23-year-old simply took advantage of the opportunities that came his way, grinding to a remarkable 7-2 record in the tough ONE Friday Fights circuit.

The promotion rewarded his hard work and dedication, awarding Jaosuayai with a six-figure contract and a spot among ONE Championship's elite roster.

Things have certainly moved fast for the Sor Dechapan Gym product since he'll now be fighting in the main event of ONE Fight Night 32: Nakrob vs Jaosuayai on Prime Video in less than 24 hours.

The stakes couldn't be any higher for the Thai upstart, who will be locking horns with the flyweight Muay Thai division's fifth-ranked fighter, Nakrob Fairtex, this Friday, June 6, at Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.

While aware of the pressure from headlining his first Amazon card, Jaosuayai couldn't help but feel grateful.

Reflecting on how far he has come in his pre-event interview with Nick Atkin of The Bangkok Post:

"This is my first fight in ONE Fight Night, so it really gives me a lot of motivation to win. I’m excited, and I’m really happy to be in the main event."

Jaosuayai won't waste a golden opportunity

Riding the high of a four-fight winning streak, punctuated by that brutal finish of Denis Puric, Jaosuayai wants to strike while the iron is hot.

The 23-year-old will be gunning for the biggest win of his promising career so far at ONE Fight Night 32. It certainly won't be easy, considering Nakrob is one of the most respected mainstays of the 135-pound striking ranks.

Jaosuayai, though, believes fortune favors the bold. He told ONE:

"I feel good about fighting Nakrob because he's currently ranked. It's a great opportunity for me. If I can beat him in my first fight after getting a contract, I could take his spot in the rankings."
