Meanwhile, his opponent, El Jamari had a rousing ONE debut last April, scoring a first-round KO win over Thai Thongpoon PK Saenchai. 'The Sniper' is looking to achieve further success in the "Home of Martial Arts" after building his name in the Moroccan Muay Thai circuit as well as in WBC and K-1.

Aliff says he has a good idea how to finish upcoming opponent Elmehdi El Jamari

Aliff Sor Dechapan said he has a solid idea on how to stop Elmehdi El Jamari in their showdown at ONE Fight Night 32. He is turning to the insights he got when he defeated the Moroccan's brother, Zakaria, last year.

He shared this in an interview with ONE Championship, citing how his first-round KO win over Zakaria in August provided a blueprint for him in his preparation for Elmehdi.

Aliff said:

“Yeah, I’ve knocked out his brother. I think both of them have the same style. But, in my opinion, Elmehdi is much more powerful than Zakaria. He’s much more complete than his brother.”

The win over Zakaria halted a two-match slide for Aliff and started a winning streak, which currently stands at three straight.
