23-year-old ONE Championship Muay Thai phenom Jaosuayai Mor Krungthepthonburi of Thailand turned in one of the most explosive performances of his young career last week when he electrified Lumpinee Stadium at ONE Fight Night 32: Nakrob vs. Jaosuayai on Prime Video.

The Sor Dechapan representative hurt and finished no.5-ranked flyweight Muay Thai contender Nakrob Fairtex early in the first round of their main event showdown, and took home a US$50,000 bonus in the process.

Addressing the media in his post-ONE Fight Night 32 interview backstage, Jaosuayai was asked how he knew he would get the finish.

The 23-year-old said:

"So when he came in like that [dropping his arms for a low guard], and I saw the opening, I led with my punch, and then I just led with the switch left kick, onto his neck with a high kick."

Needless to say, the emphatic win has easily boosted Jaosuayai's stock into the stratosphere, and fans can't wait to see him back in action.

ONE Fight Night 32: Nakrob vs. Jaosuayai on Prime Video was broadcast live from the iconic Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand last June 7th. Fans in the United States and Canada can catch all the action via replay on-demand with an active Amazon Prime Video subscription.
