‘I Am Coming For Your Belt’ – Aliff Sor Dechapan Sets Sights On Prajanchai After Dominating Ramadan Ondash At ONE Fight Night 38
Aliff Sor Dechapan entered ONE Fight Night 38: Andrade vs. Baatarkhuu knowing exactly what stood between him and a shot at Prajanchai PK Saenchai’s ONE Strawweight Muay Thai World Title — a heavy-hitting Lebanese prodigy with fight-ending power in both hands.
But under the bright lights of Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, this past Friday, the 21-year-old Malaysian-Thai sensation delivered the most composed performance of his young career, ripping through Ramadan “The Scorpion” Ondash over three rounds to claim a unanimous decision victory and, with it, the long-awaited World Title shot.
The bout began with Ondash firing right out of the gates, repeatedly catching Aliff’s right kicks and hunting for the left hook that has ended so many opponents before him. It was the same punch that detonated Chartpayak Saksatoon in his last fight – the knockout that earned Ondash a ONE main-roster contract and cemented his reputation as a dangerous finisher.
But Aliff never panicked:
“It was crucial for me to stay composed because he has very dangerous punches. I just couldn’t go in and trade punches with him. I had to be careful.
“There wasn’t anything surprising with Ramadan. He came as expected. But for me, I trained my kicks more in order to counter attack him.”
That discipline became the turning point.
In round two, Aliff took full command. He repeatedly whipped his left kick into Ondash’s ribs, breaking down his rival’s body with clinical precision.
As the strikes accumulated, the Lebanese star began to slow, unable to find answers for the relentless body attacks.
Aliff said:
“Yes, I believe my height and reach advantage played a crucial role for this fight, and I really needed to make use of that.
“I expected that he would come like that because he would try to knock me out in order to win this fight. So I was already on my defense.”
Standing roughly 4 inches taller than Ondash, Aliff used that natural leverage to control the range, dictate the distance, and stay out of danger while punishing the body.
With momentum fully on his side, the young prodigy headed into the final round with confidence. In the third stanza, he produced the defining moment of the contest.
As Ondash launched his trademark left hook, Aliff timed a leaping left knee that connected flush with the Lebanese star’s chin and sent him down for an eight-count.
Still, the Sor Dechapan affiliate refused to rush.
He said:
“When I got the knockdown, I had to be really careful because I knew that Ramadan would get up and try to knock me out. So I played the game very carefully.”
Ondash rose immediately and charged forward in desperation, hoping to land the punch that would steal the bout back from the brink. But Aliff stayed measured, maintaining distance and protecting his lead until the final bell.
There were no surprises on the scorecards.
The unanimous decision pushed his winning streak to five and confirmed him as the next challenger to Prajanchai’s throne. Even after nine hard minutes with Ondash, Aliff held deep respect for the young powerhouse’s grit.
He said:
“I think he’s one of the most dangerous fighters out there. He’s still young, and I think he can still come back strong.”
Aliff Delivers Warning To Prajanchai
With his fifth straight victory secured and arguably the sharpest performance of his ONE Championship tenure, Aliff Sor Dechapan now stands on the doorstep of the biggest challenge of his career — a shot at reigning ONE Strawweight Muay Thai World Champion Prajanchai PK Saenchai.
The 30-year-old Thai icon has built a reign defined by speed, precision, and mastery of range. Very few fighters call Prajanchai out with confidence, but after navigating Ondash’s power and earning his place as the next contender, Aliff believes the time has come to aim upward.
The 21-year-old said:
“I’m not interested in a rematch with Ramadan Ondash. I am waiting for my title shot.
“I am confident that my next fight will be a title shot. They also announced it in the ring, so I’m very confident. And if I still don’t get the title shot, I don’t know what to do then. Prajanchai, I hope you’re ready for me. I am coming for your belt.”
Measured but motivated, Aliff speaks like a contender who has been preparing for this moment since the beginning.
As he steps toward the biggest opportunity of his career, he hasn’t forgotten the people who helped carry him here.
He said:
“I would like to thank all the fans, people who have come to see me inside the stadium, and also people at home who are cheering for me. Thank you so much for your support.”
