If there was anyone who left the iconic Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, last Friday, June 6, with a heavy heart, it was none other than Stamp Fairtex, who witnessed her teammate Nakrob Fairtex suffer a devastating loss.
Nakrob, the No. 5-ranked flyweight Muay Thai contender, headlined ONE Fight Night 32 against fellow Thai rising star Jaosuayai Mor Krungthepthonburi in a bout that aired live in U.S. primetime from the historic venue.
In what was the biggest win of his professional career, Jaosuayai stunned the crowd with a spectacular first-round finish over Nakrob.
The 23-year-old came out firing from the opening bell. After a brief exchange, he connected with a perfectly timed head kick that sent Nakrob stumbling into the ropes.

Cameras caught Stamp, a former three-sport ONE world champion, watching anxiously at ringside, a moment shared by the world's largest martial arts organization in a clip posted on Instagram.
Watch the clip below:
Sensing that the end was near, Jaosuayai swarmed Nakrob with a flurry of powerful hooks that dropped that Fairtex Training Center representative to the canvas.
Although Nakrob bravely beat the referee's mandatory eight-count, he never fully recovered. Jaosuayai quickly closed in, unloading another wave of hooks capped by a crushing head kick that ended the contest emphatically.
As Nakrob lay motionless on the mat, Stamp and her entourage stood in silence, while Jaosuayai soaked in the biggest triumph of his promising run.
Jaosuayai never expected to make quick work of Nakrob Fairtex
Jaosuayai Mor Krungthepthonburi admitted that he couldn't believe the outcome, confessing he never expected to defeat Nakrob in such dominant fashion.
He said this during the post-event interview:
"It was totally unexpected, and I'm very happy about it. I didn't think that I would get the knockout that quick."
