The Sor Dechapan representative turned in a shocking first-round knockout of highly regarded no.5-ranked ONE flyweight Muay Thai contender Nakrob Fairtex in the main event of ONE Fight Night 32: Nakrob vs. Jaosuayai on Prime Video.

But not only did he register the emphatic finish, Jaosuayai also booked a US$50,000 performance bonus from none other than ONE Championship chairman and CEO Chatri Sityodtong himself.

Speaking to veteran ONE broadcast analyst Mitch 'The Dragon' Chilson in the ring following his fight, Jaosuayai was over the moon and didn't really know at that moment what exactly he would do with the bonus money.
