Aliff Earns World Title Shot Against Prajanchai After Handing Ondash First ONE Championship Defeat
Aliff Sor Dechapan systematically dismantled teenage sensation Ramadan Ondash across three rounds at ONE Fight Night 38 on December 6, earning a unanimous decision victory that punched his ticket to a ONE Strawweight Muay Thai World Championship clash against reigning king Prajanchai PK Saenchai.
The Malaysian-Thai striker’s dominant performance inside Bangkok’s Lumpinee Stadium handed the 19-year-old Lebanese phenom his first promotional loss while showcasing precisely the skills required for competing at championship level.
ONE Commentator Mitch Chilson announced during the post-fight interview that ONE Chairman and CEO Chatri Sityodtong confirmed Aliff would face Prajanchai for the title in his next appearance. It validated a calculated victory built on intelligent distance management and physical advantages the Sor Dechapan representative exploited ruthlessly throughout their strawweight collision.
The contest featured exciting exchanges between two talents, with both fighters demonstrating elite striking that kept fans engaged despite Aliff’s growing control. Yet the final frame delivered the decisive moment when Aliff scored a significant knockdown that ultimately swayed the judges’ scorecards in his favor, pushing his record to 62-9 while ending Ondash’s perfect start on ONE Championship’s global platform.
The knockdown required careful navigation rather than reckless pursuit. Aliff understood that desperation often creates dangerous opportunities for opponents with nothing left to lose, forcing the Malaysian-Thai striker into defensive awareness even as victory approached.
“When I got the knockdown, I had to be really careful because I knew that Ramadan would get up and he would try to knock me out to get his win. So I played the game very carefully,” Aliff said.
Physical attributes played crucial roles in Aliff’s game plan against the young and hungry opponent. His height and reach advantages created distance that frustrated Ondash’s attempts at closing range, allowing the taller striker to pick apart the Lebanese teenager through calculated striking that accumulated damage without exposing himself to counter-attacks.
“I believe my height and reach advantage played a crucial role for this fight and I really needed to make use of that,” Aliff explained.
Now guaranteed a title opportunity, Aliff immediately turned his attention toward the champion awaiting him. Prajanchai has established himself as ONE Championship’s most accomplished strawweight Muay Thai titleholder, creating a mountain the Malaysian-Thai contender must climb for capturing gold that’s eluded him throughout his lengthy career.
“I am confident that my next fight will be a title shot. You know, they also announced it in the ring, so I’m very confident. Prajanchai, I hope you’re ready for me. I am coming for your belt,” Aliff said.
