Abolfazl Alipourandi

Abolfazl “White Wolf” Alipourandi has traveled the world in search of tough tests, and the Iranian striker has rarely shied away from a challenge.

Though he hails from Iran, the 30-year-old has built most of his professional career far from home. Over the years, he has faced a long list of formidable opponents and collected big wins across multiple countries and disciplines.

His resume speaks to his versatility. Alipourandi has competed in high-level Muay Thai bouts at Bangkok’s legendary Lumpinee Stadium dating back to 2018, gained Kun Khmer experience in Cambodia, and earned kickboxing victories in China’s respected Kunlun Fight organization.

For years, the Iranian made the journey to Thailand to sharpen his skills, training at a variety of gyms along the way. Today, he is based in Pattaya, where he represents Venum Training Camp and Team Mehdi Zatout, which has become one of the most respected gyms on the planet for the striking arts.

Fighting out of an orthodox stance, “White Wolf” is a Muay Mat, or puncher, who loves to get in his opponents’ faces from the opening bell. He applies relentless pressure and tests his rivals’ durability with heavy punching combinations.

Alipourandi’s big break arrived in May 2025, when he accepted a lightweight Muay Thai bout against former World Champion Liam Nolan on just five days’ notice at ONE Fight Night 31.

It was the biggest challenge of his career, but he made the most of the opportunity. After backing Nolan up against the ropes, the Iranian blasted him with a powerful head kick that turned his lights off in just 59 seconds, sending shockwaves through the striking world.

In his next outing at ONE Friday Fights 136 in December 2025, he went toe-to-toe with undefeated Russian star Maksim Bakhtin. After three hard-fought rounds, Alipourandi came up short in a razor-close split decision loss.

Now, the Iranian striker is determined to bounce back, build on his explosive start in the world’s largest martial arts organization, and prove he belongs among the elite in the stacked lightweight Muay Thai ranks.
