The young gun takes on the teenage Lebanese warrior in a strawweight Muay Thai fixture, which will be part of ONE Fight Night 38 on Friday, December 5, inside Bangkok's legendary Lumpinee Stadium.

During his exclusive pre-fight interview with ONE Championship, Aliff made clear he sees himself holding advantages everywhere the fight might go, not just in isolated exchanges.

"Ramadan is very confident in his punching, and I'm confident in myself. I have good skills in everything, and my weapons are definitely more diverse than his," Aliff Sor Dechapan declared.

The Sor Dechapan fighter's analysis is spot on, after all.

Ondash brings elite-level boxing skills and legitimate finishing ability in his hands, but those weapons become less dangerous when opponents can counter with knees in the clinch, teeps to create distance, or devastating low kicks that compromise mobility and power generation.

Aliff's confidence stems from experience navigating Thailand's brutal Muay Thai circuit, where specialists get exposed, and well-rounded fighters thrive.

He's faced powerful punchers before, absorbed their best shots, and neutralized their offense through the technical diversity Ondash hasn't encountered at this elite level.

Ramadan Ondash may see gaps in Aliff Sor Dechapan's defense, and though he plans to make the most of it at fight night, the Tiger Muay Thai representative does expect a tough battle.

Speaking to the promotion ahead of his fifth fight inside the Circle, the 19-year-old revealed that he's left no stone unturned to ensure he gets his hand raised against the in-form Malaysian-Thai striker in this guranteed barnburner.

"I'm training hard for this fight, for this moment. I'm ready, Inshaallah. It will be a very good fight. It will be perfect, like a war fight between me and Aliff," he noted.
