Overview
- Jaosuayai will face Yuan Pengjie in the flyweight kickboxing co-main at The Inner Circle on Friday, June 5, at Lumpinee Stadium with the fight streaming on live.onefc.com.
- This bout is his first kickboxing fight in nearly five years and is booked under kickboxing rules that limit clinch work and elbows to favor a speed-and-combination style.
- He and his team say he will stop competing at strawweight and make flyweight his long-term home to avoid the strength and recovery problems he says followed frequent weight changes.
- Jaosuayai says he will fight with more composure and rely on fight IQ instead of emotion, a tactical change he credits as key to ending a multi-fight losing streak that included a late TKO to Pompet PongSuphan PK.
- A former K-1 tournament finalist who earned a six-figure ONE contract and a 52-second head-kick knockout of Nakrob Fairtex, Jaosuayai sees this return as a turning point that could restore his standing on ONE’s roster.
