Superbon starches Nattawut, Bags $50K bonus at ONE Friday Fights 81 

Superbon showcased his incredible striking prowess yet again in the main event of ONE Friday Fights 81, earning a $50,000 bonus courtesy of ONE Chairman and CEO Chatri Sityodtong.  

The ONE Interim Featherweight Muay Thai World Champion made quick work of “Smokin” Jo Nattawut in a non-title Muay Thai bout last Friday, September 27, in Bangkok, Thailand’s Lumpinee Stadium. 

The Thai megastar took control of the match from the opening bell. He pressed the action, launching a barrage of head kicks and elbows that forced his compatriot onto the defensive. 

Nattawut, the #2-ranked featherweight Muay Thai contender, attempted to engage but was quickly overwhelmed by Superbon’s relentless offense. 

The pivotal moment came when Nattawut committed to a combination. He was met with a sneaky counter elbow from Superbon.  

This strike sent Nattawut crashing to the canvas. Despite his efforts to regain his footing, he could not continue, handing Superbon the knockout victory. 

Sityodtong recognized Superbon’s stunning performance by rewarding him with an extra five-figure incentive.
