ONE Championship: “I’m so tired” - Rising star Jaosuayai couldn’t hold his emotions in career-defining KO of Nakrob at ONE Fight Night 32

23-year-old Muay Thai phenom Jaosuayai Mor Krungthepthonburi of Thailand is over the moon following arguably the biggest win of his young career.

Jaosuayai put together an incredible performance last weekend at the recently concluded ONE Fight Night 32: Nakrob vs. Jaosuayai on Prime Video, turning in a spectacular first-round knockout victory over no.5-ranked ONE flyweight Muay Thai contender Nakrob Fairtex.

He told veteran ONE Championship broadcast analyst Mitch Chilson in the ring after the fight:

"First of all, this moment means a lot. I really don’t want to cry on stage right now, but I’ve been training so hard and I’m so tired."

Jaosuayai made quick work of a highly regarded opponent and bagged a US$50,000 performance bonus in the process. Needless to say, it was certainly an impressive outing for the youngster, one that should set him up for even bigger opportunities down the road.

ONE Fight Night 32: Nakrob vs. Jaosuayai took place live from the iconic Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, last Saturday, June 7.

Big things are expected of Jaosuayai Mor Krungthepthonburi, following the 23-year-old's spectacular U.S. primetime debut last weekend at ONE Fight Night 32: Nakrob vs. Jaosuayai.

But the Sor Dechapan athlete will be the first to say he isn't quite ready for the big fights just yet. The 21-year-old is looking to gain more experience. He told Nick Atkin of Bangkok Post:

"I think maybe later I can face someone in the rankings. But, maybe I [could use] two to three more fights to continue trying it out. This was my first fight, it was also in the morning, and it added to my nervousness. So, yeah, maybe a few more fights I can face some of them."
