Jaosuayai's extensive scouting of Nakrob led to highlight-reel finish

Jaosuayai utilized his knowledge of Nakrob's fighting style to exploit it against him and secure the finish at ONE Fight Night 32.

Speaking with ONE ahead of their bout, he said:

"Nakrob's strength is his high stamina and good attacking ability, but his weakness is that he tends to come straight in, which is predictable, and he neglects his defense."
