Jaosuayai: WATCH: Rising star Jaosuayai captures biggest win yet in nasty knockout finish of Nakrob Fairtex at ONE Fight Night 32

Jaosuayai Mor Krungthepthonburi cemented his place as one of the premier strikers in ONE Championship's stacked flyweight Muay Thai division with a statement-making victory last Friday, June 6. In the main event of ONE Fight Night 32, which aired live in U.S. primetime from the fabled Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, the Thai rising star locked horns with compatriot and No. 5-ranked flyweight Muay Thai contender Nakrob Fairtex.

There, the 23-year-old delivered the biggest win of his young career, stopping Nakrob with a spectacular first-round knockout.

From the opening bell, Jaosuayai pressed forward with aggression. After a brief exchange, he uncorked a perfectly timed head kick that rocked Nakrob and sent him reeling into the ropes.

Smelling blood, the Sor Dechapan member unleashed a flurry of hooks that floored Nakrob.

Although Nakrob managed to return to his feet, that damage had already been done. Jaosuayai quickly closed the distance and unloaded another barrage of hooks, punctuated by a crushing head kick that sealed the deal and left no doubt about the outcome.

This emphatic finish earned Jaosuayai a well-deserved $50,000 performance bonus from ONE Championship Chairman and CEO Chatri Sityodtong.

Jaosuayai looks to build momentum before facing division's big names

With this breakthrough win at ONE Fight Night 32, Jaosuayai Mor Krungthepthonburi is widely expected to crack the weight class's top five rankings — positioning him closer to potential matchups against notable names such as former divisional king Rodtang Jitmuangnon and current ONE flyweight kickboxing world champion Superlek Kiatmoo9.

Still, the young phenom remains grounded, insisting that he wants to stay focused on building momentum and stacking more victories before setting his sights on the bracket's marquee figures.

Jaosuayai said this during the post-event interview:

"I haven't planned on my next opponent yet because this is my debut [on the main roster]. I haven't planned that far. I just want to focus on making my forms and also just keep winning."
