ONE Championship: Malaysian prospect hopes to become country’s first champion
Aliff Sor Dechapan, 21, enjoys a breakout performance at ONE Fight Night 32 with a unanimous decision win over Elmehdi El Jamari
Aliff Sor Dechapan said he is ready to bring a ONE Championship world title back to Malaysia after a breakout performance at ONE Fight Night 32 – and a post-fight face-off with Thai legend Prajanchai PK Saenchai hinted a meeting could be on the cards.
The Thai-Malaysian striker impressed at Bangkok’s Lumpinee Stadium with a unanimous decision win over Moroccan stand-out Elmehdi “The Sniper” El Jamari.
His slick striking and intelligent game plan lifted his career record to 61-9 – and might lift him into title contention.
“I’m very happy to get a win here,” Aliff told the Post. “I was sick before, but I just followed my camp plan. Everything is good.”
Despite feeling under the weather, Aliff delivered a composed performance from start to finish. He punished El Jamari with a steady stream of kicks to the legs and body, and even landed a spinning back-kick flush to the face.
“I was confident for this game,” the 21-year-old said. “The focus was on all the kicks because I just used my height as an advantage.”
