Surging flyweight Muay Thai athlete has emerged as one of the most electrifying strikers on the global stage today.

On June 6 in U.S. primetime, the 23-year-old knockout artist will throw down with #4-ranked divisional contender in a high-stakes clash at .

A veteran of more than 80 professional bouts, including nine battles at ONE Friday Fights, the Thai rising star will enter his U.S. primetime debut on a four-fight winning streak and eager to make a statement.

Before he goes toe-to-toe with Nakrob at Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, we take a closer look at Joasuayai바카라™s most dangerous Muay Thai weapons.

#1 Flying Knees

No discussion of the young Thai바카라™s striking style would be complete without mention of his explosive and acrobatic flying knees.

A hallmark of Jaosuayai바카라™s game is his ability to change paces in the blink of an eye, often catching opponents off-guard with his blinding speed and unpredictability. The flying knee is a perfect example of this talent.

Notably, he loves to throw the flying knee from the back foot, walking backward to lull his adversary into a false sense of security, only to leap up into a show-stopping strike with bad intentions.

#2 Looping Right Hands

In ONE Championship bouts, Jaosuayai has done the most damage and scored the most knockdowns with his thunderous right hand.

Whether he바카라™s throwing the strike on the lead or the counter, he will often lower himself into a crouched position, wait for the perfect opening, and then loop his terrifying right hand over and around his opponent바카라™s guard. When he lands this punch cleanly, it바카라™s almost reminiscent of a prime Mike Tyson.

Indeed, Jaosuayai바카라™s epic knockout of at was a result of this punch 바카라“ and was a thing of brutal beauty.

#3 Lunging Left Hooks

Much more than a one-sided fighter, Jaosuayai complements his concussive right hand with an equally powerful lunging left hook.

Yet again, speed and timing are what make this punch work. Because he throws his left hook from long range and with practically no telegraphing, Jaosuayai often surprises his opponents with this blow.

And, with ONE바카라™s small 4-ounce Muay Thai gloves, he바카라™s able to land the punch around his foe바카라™s high guard, making it even more difficult to defend.

#4 Head Kicks

While Jaosuayai is undoubtedly a talented leg and body kicker, he tends to do his best work with his head kicks.

It바카라™s important to note that the Thai is a true switch hitter, equally capable of fighting out of the orthodox or southpaw stances. With this in mind, he바카라™ll often adjust his stance to make the head kick easier to land, depending on his opponent바카라™s stance.

To make his head kicks even more impressive, Jaosuayai will occasionally throw a jumping version 바카라“ much to the delight of fans.

#5 Close-Range Combinations

Jaosuayai packs serious power into each of his individual strikes, but he바카라™s typically most dangerous when he바카라™s unloading furious punching combinations at close range.

Rather than applying constant, steady pressure, he will blitz forward with a jumping knee or a massive head kick, forcing his opponent against the ropes. From there, Jaosuayai can fire off lengthy punching combinations that mix in hooks, overhands, and uppercuts.

If he바카라™s able to corner Nakrob at any point during their showdown at ONE Fight Night 32, fans should expect Jaosuayai to let his hands fly with ruthless intentions.
