ONE Fight Night 32: Rising Muay Thai star Jaosuayai Mor Krungthepthonburi made his presence known in his ONE Championship main roster debut at ONE Fight Night 32 on Saturday, June 7, in front of his compatriots.

In a little under a minute into his fight at Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, he dispatched #5-ranked flyweight Muay Thai contender Nakrob Fairtex. It was even unexpected for the man himself.

"I'm very happy about it. I didn't think that I would get the knockout that quick," Jaosuayai said after ONE Fight Night 32 concluded.

The knockout was anything but a fluke. The new contender detailed that he meticulously studied film of his opponent. Knowing the deficiencies in his game, it was just about exploiting them inside the ring.

"I thought that would be an opening that I could use. So, when he came in like that, and I saw the opening, I led with my punches, and then I connected with a high kick onto his neck," the Sor Dechapan athlete said.

The massive victory was the culmination of years of hard work and sacrifice. Jaosuayai even understood the importance of showing out on a global platform in U.S. primetime. Having arrived in highlight-reel fashion, the Thai is feeling invincible.

"For 16 years, I've been on this journey, and I've been fighting, and I've been training really hard. I am proud of myself. I'm so thankful that I did not give up," Jaosuayai said.

As a burgeoning global star, Jaosuayai is more than grateful for the opportunity to represent the "art of eight limbs" worldwide. He hopes to become one of the biggest names to help bring the sport to new heights.

"ONE Championship is such a great organisation. I just want to be a force behind it, to push Muay Thai for the world to see. So I'm really grateful to be a part of that, and I really want to show Muay Thai to all the fans around the world," Jaosuayai said.

The seat at the top of the flyweight division remains open. Given how the division is playing out, Jaosuayai feels he can contend with anybody, including the former ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World Champion, Rodtang Jitmuangnon.

"I never turn down my opponents. So if the chance comes, I will definitely catch it. So if ONE Championship sees that I am fit to fight with Rodtang, I will take that," Jaosuayai concluded.
