"Beast vs Beast" - Fans drum up potential thrillers for rising star Jaosuayai at stacked flyweight Muay Thai class

Jaosuayai Mor Krungthepthonburi captured the attention of ONE Championship fans following his masterful performance against Nakrob Fairtex in the main event of ONE Fight Night 32: Nakrob vs. Jaosuayai on Prime Video last Friday, June 6. As such, fans already have some names they would love to see him face next.

Aiming for a definitive victory in his main roster debut, his dogged determination bore fruit barely a minute into their bout when he dropped Nakrob with a quick combination. After seeing him on wobbly legs, Jaosuayai prevented any thought of a comeback with a monstrous head kick knockout.

With a spectacular showing in the Sor Dechapan representative's back pocket, the world's largest martial arts promotion asked fans who should be his next opponent in an Instagram post.

Jaosuayai surprised by his handiwork against Nakrob

While he delivered one of the best knockouts of the year against the fifth-ranked ONE flyweight Muay Thai competitor, Jaosuayai admitted that even he caught himself off-guard with the finish.

The ONE Friday Fights alumnus said as much in the post-fight interview with combat sports journalist Nick Atkin:

"It certainly surprised me. I thought it would go longer. I thought it would be an entertaining fight, trading punches, exchanging, but I thought it would be more exhausting for me. So, the first-round KO was totally a surprise."
