ONE lightweight Muay Thai sensation Sinsamut Klinmee returned to the win column the only way he knew how: constant forward pressure to break his opponent's defense en route to a finish. He did just that at ONE 170 on Friday, Jan. 24.

Fighting in front of his countrymen inside the Impact Arena in Bangkok, Thailand, appeared to have emboldened 'Aquaman'. He continuously pressed Nauzet Trujillo and knocked him down thrice to claim the first-round TKO victory.

With his beatdown of Trujillo, the two-time ONE lightweight Muay Thai world championship challenger snapped his two-fight losing skid while notching his fifth win under the ONE banner.

Additionally, the Team Mehdi Zatout affiliate received a $50,000 performance bonus from ONE Championship Chairman and CEO Chatri Sityodtong for the finish.

The full replay of ONE 170 is available via watch.onefc.com.


Sinsamut's comedic response to earning $50,000 performance bonus

Sinsamut is all business when it comes to competing inside the circle. However, he allowed his comedic side to shine after ONE commentator Mitch Chilson asked what he would do with his hard-earned performance bonus.

The 29-year-old told 'The Dragon':

"Khun Chatri is one of the people who I want to say thank you to. Thank you for the bonus, and thank you for this opportunity. I don't know if my wife will take some of this bonus or all of it."
