Nadaka Yoshinari believes there will be plenty of opportunities to receive a $50,000 performance bonus from ONE Chairman and CEO Chatri Sityodtong.
The promotional debutant turned heads and left a lot of jaws on the floor following his brutal finish of the ultra-tough Rak Erawan at ONE 172: Takeru vs Rodtang at Saitama Super Arena last Sunday, March 23.
While it was his first time competing in four-ounce gloves, the ten-time Muay Thai World Champion proved every bit of hype surrounding him was real.
Yoshinari ran circles around his Thai foe using his blistering speed and lightning-fast combinations. The 24-year-old went for the kill in round 3, flatlining Rak with a brutal left-hand missile to secure an impressive knockout victory.

Surprisingly, however, Nadaka Yoshinari missed out on a post-fight bonus for his incredible handiwork.
Still, Yoshinari promised an even better performance to ensure he'll get the extra moolah in his next outing.
"To be honest, of course, it will be nice to have one," he said during the ONE 172 post-event press conference.
"However, this means that I'm not getting a bonus, [which] means that I should do better. I should do more. So I accept that and I hope that I will do it better next time."
