Aliff won by unanimous decision and picked up a title shot against division king Praanchai PK Saenchai, as announced immediately afterwards by ONE chairman and CEO Chatri Sityodtong. The 21-year-old systematically put an end to the Lebanese phenomenon and handed Ondash his first promotion loss, while proving he is ready for Championship-level competition.
The final round sealed it. Aliff scored a knockdown that swayed the judges and pushed his record to 62-9. His striking diversity overwhelmed Ondash throughout the fight, but that knockdown moment could have changed everything if mishandled.
“When I got the knockdown, I had to be very careful because I knew Ramadan would get up and he would try to knock me out to get his victory. So I played the game very carefully,” he said.
Aliff Sor Dechapan used physical advantages to control the fight
The game plan revolved around size. Ramadan Ondash brought power and aggression to every interaction, but Aliff Sor Dechapan’s range kept the Lebanese striker at bay when it mattered most.
His height allowed him to shoot from distance, while avoiding the close-quarters war where Ondash thrives. The strategy worked perfectly for 15 minutes.
“I believe my height and reach advantage played a crucial role in this fight and I really had to take advantage of that,” he explained.
Now comes the championship opportunity against Prajanchai PK Saenchai. The Thai king has ruled the strawweight Muay Thai division with an iron fist, defending his title against elite competition multiple times. But Aliff believes his time has come.
“I am confident that my next fight will be a title shot,” he said. “You know, they announced it in the ring too, so I’m very confident. Prajanchai, I hope you’re ready for me. I’m coming for your belt.”
