Despite the defeat, ONE Championship chairman and CEO Chatri Sityodtong recognised the effort, awarding both fighters a 350,000 baht performance bonus. It marked a record-extending 10th bonus for Suriyanlek on the ONE Friday Fights series. “I am happy and I would like to thank Chatri and all the ONE team for giving me the bonus,” Suriyanlek told the Bangkok Post backstage. Despite nine wins and seven finishes – and appearances on major numbered cards at ONE 170 in Bangkok and ONE 172 in Saitama – Suriyanlek remains unsigned. “The contract has always been my goal since my first fight in ONE,” he said.
