“I believe I will win it someday” - Aliff Sor Dechapan believes world title will soon be within reach after beating Ramadan Ondash

21-year-old Malaysian-Thai sensation Aliff Sor Dechapan has ONE Championship gold on his mind, and a victory in his next bout could finally produce an opportunity for the ONE strawweight Muay Thai world title.

Aliff is set to face 19-year-old Lebanese star ‘The Scorpion’ Ramadan Ondash at ONE Fight Night 38: Andrade vs. Baatarkhuu on Prime Video this weekend, and he’s looking to score a statement victory and position himself for the next crack at Prajanchai PK Saenchai’s belt.

The Sor Dechapan affiliate told the world’s largest martial arts organization in an interview:

“After I beat Elmehdi, Prajanchai came up to the ring to have a face-off with me. I was happy because I thought, ‘Oh, I must have a chance to fight for the title next.’ I was excited, thinking I would finally face the champion, but in the end, I didn’t.”

Aliff says being in close proximity to Prajanchai, however, made him even hungrier for the gold. He added:

“I want to face great fighters. I even got to touch Prajanchai’s belt, just to get a feel for it. I believe I will win it someday.”

A victory over Ondash could be just enough to finally book Aliff the world title shot he’s been yearning for.

ONE Fight Night 38: Andrade vs. Baatarkhuu on Prime Video will go down live in U.S. primetime on Friday, Dec. 5, and will take place at Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand. North American fans can watch the event free of charge with Amazon Prime Video.
