Top strawweight Muay Thai contender Aliff Sor Dechapan is excited for what’s to come.
After his impressive unanimous decision victory over Lebanese star Ramadan ‘The Scorpion’ Ondash at ONE Fight Night 38: Andrade vs. Baatarkhuu on Prime Video last weekend, the 21-year-old was thrilled to know that he would be facing ONE strawweight Muay Thai world champion Prajanchai PK Saenchai next for the division’s gold.
That being said, Aliff doesn’t believe Prajanchai really wants to fight him, and has even suggested that the Thai icon is ducking him.

He told Bangkok Post’s Nick Atkin:
“Maybe I was serious, I don’t know. It seems like he doesn’t really want to face me. I don’t know. So maybe he can face Ramadan first. But I’ll be waiting for the title shot.”
However, none other than ONE Championship chairman and CEO Chatri Sityodtong himself has confirmed that Aliff’s next fight will be for the world title, and the Malaysian-Thai fighter is basking in excitement.
In fact, if he were to have his way, Aliff would be fighting Prajanchai in Malaysia, in front of his family and friends.
Aliff added:
“If possible, I’d like to fight in Malaysia. I want the Malaysian fans to see me. I want to show my skills to my fans.”

Aliff Sor Dechapan says it will be an honor to fight Prajanchai
Aliff Sor Dechapan, like every Muay Thai fan in the world, holds Prajanchai PK Saenchai in high regard.
And despite the fact that he will be fighting the Thai icon for the ONE strawweight Muay Thai world title soon, the 21-year-old says he still has a lot of respect for his senior.
He told Nick Atkin:
“I really like fighting with someone who's really good and a really great fighter. It’s my goal and my ambition. And I’m just more motivated to fight and train. I really want to fight with him, and it’ll be an honor to fight him.”
