There was no shortage of thrilling finishes and unforgettable action when the world's largest martial arts organization descended upon the Ariake Arena for ONE 173 this past Sunday, November 16.
Five superstars, however, shone above the rest with their highlight-reel knockouts, and went back US$50,000 richer courtesy of ONE Championship Chairman and CEO Chatri Sityodtong.
The lifelong martial artist awarded five world-class athletes the performance bonuses for their impressive victories on the promotion's star-studded ONE 173 card in Tokyo, Japan.
Thai slugger Suakim Sor Jor Tongprajin bagged home the first bonus of the night after he shut down Canadian-English standout Jake Peacock in the third stanza.

Peacock appeared to be on his way to a third straight triumph inside the Circle. However, the 30-year-old from PK Saenchai Muaythaigym dropped him with a left hook to earn his sixth consecutive promotional victory at ONE 173.
ONE welterweight submission grappling world champion Tye Ruotolo was another recipient.
The 22-year-old American athlete pocketed yet another US$50,000 bonus after taking out undefeated Japanese star Shozo Isojima. The Tenore representative got the job done via a rear-naked choke.
Elsewhere, former three-division K-1 champion Takeru Segawa earned a similar sum for his destructive second-round finish of Denis Puric. With the victory at ONE 173, 'Natural Born Krusher' returned to the winner's column.

Last but not least, ONE flyweight MMA world champion Yuya Wakamatsu made the short journey back home US$50,000 richer after his fine second-round TKO triumph over strawweight king Joshua Pacio in the co-main event of ONE 173.
