Aliff took on "Iron Hands" at ONE 169 in November last year in a strawweight Muay Thai battle. The contest was highly competitive with both fighters putting up solid performances.

The Malaysian-Thai fighter was crisp with his assaults from long range, allowing him to set up telling combination punches against his opponents. Goncalves, for his part, countered Aliff's attack with solid leg kicks and punches of his own.

In the end, however, it was Aliff Sor Dechapan whose name was declared the winner, with all three judges giving him the nod.
