Before the Thai-Malaysian knockout artist shoots for his 61st career victory, we take a closer look at five of his greatest performances in ONE.
#1 Aliff Melts Rittidet With A Spinning Elbow
Aliff’s promotional debut at ONE Friday Fights 13 in April 2023 showcased what fans would soon come to expect – pure fireworks. That night, the Thai-Malaysian phenom engaged in a fierce, back-and-forth war with Rittidet Kiatsongrit, where he had to weather an early onslaught of attacks from his talented opponent.
In a beautiful display of composure and timing, Aliff created just enough space to unleash a spinning back elbow that instantly crumpled Rittidet, bringing an end to the contest in the opening minute of the second round.
This sensational knockout announced the Sor Dechapan product’s arrival in ONE, and it will live on in his highlight reel for years to come.
#2 Aliff Demolishes Ratchadej In 50 Seconds
At ONE Friday Fights 24 in July 2023, Aliff took his electrifying style to another level with a lightning-fast knockout of Thai standout Ratchadej Sor Petjumrat.
Aliff needed just 50 seconds to land a terrifying left hook, which sent his countryman crashing to the canvas and down for the count.
That devastating stoppage further elevated his star power and set the stage for plenty more thrilling performances to come.
#3 Aliff’s Triple Knockdown Masterclass
Just four months later at ONE Friday Fights 40, Aliff went head-to-head with Iranian scrapper Peyman Zolfaghari and delivered a performance so impressive it earned him a US$100,000 contract and spot on ONE’s global roster.
After dropping Zolfaghari in the first 15 seconds of the tilt with a perfectly timed left hook, Aliff applied constant yet patient pressure, dropping his foe two more times with his thunderous right hand to seal the deal at the 1:44 mark of round one.
That calculated display improved Aliff’s promotional record to 4-0 and officially set him on the path to international superstardom.
#4 Aliff’s Body Shot Brilliance
At ONE Fight Night 24 in August 2024, Aliff squared off against dangerous Moroccan brawler Zakaria El Jamari – the older brother of Elmehdi El Jamari. The Sor Dechapan product hardly broke a sweat, as he quickly dispatched his adversary.
The Thai-Malaysian dynamo first sent El Jamari to the canvas with a picture-perfect head kick, and then he followed that up with a crushing body shot and clean right hand to bring an end to the contest after just 97 seconds of action.
Aliff’s unforgettable knockout of El Jamari earned him a US$50,000 performance bonus and, importantly, laid the foundation for a heated grudge match at ONE Fight Night 32.
#5 Aliff Decimates Adukhov In A Flash
In his most recent outing at ONE Fight Night 28 this past February, the Thai-Malaysian contender met Russia’s Shamil Adukhov and staked his claim as the leading threat to the ONE Strawweight Muay Thai World Championship.
Aliff demonstrated flawless counter-striking and concussive punching power with a savage left hook, which immediately dropped his opponent and forced the referee to call an end to the battle after just 70 seconds.
