23-year-old ONE Championship flyweight Muay Thai phenom Jaosuayai Mor Krungthepthonburi of Thailand admits he was in quite a hurry to get dangerous foe Nakrob Fairtex out of the ring rather quickly.

After all, the no.5-ranked flyweight Muay Thai contender and Fairtex Training Center product was one of the most highly regarded practitioners of 'the art of eight limbs' heading into their much-anticipated showdown.

Nevertheless, Jaosuayai was unfazed when the two met in the main event at ONE Fight Night 32: Nakrob vs. Jaosuayai on Prime Video last weekend, where the Sor Dechapan athlete scored a scintillating first-round knockout victory.

Speaking to veteran ONE Championship broadcast analyst 'The Dragon' Mitch Chilson after the fight, Jaosuayai said his goal was to stop Nakrob early.
