ONE Championship: “I really have nothing to say” - Aliff all pumped up for his golden opportunity against champ-champ Prajanchai

21-year-old Malaysian-Thai Muay Thai phenom Aliff Sor Dechapan took home the biggest victory of his young career last weekend, when he took care of business against tough Moroccan Elmehdi El Jamari.

The Sor Dechapan product turned in an inspired performance, defeating his opponent via three-round unanimous decision at the recently concluded ONE Fight Night 32: Nakrob vs. Jaosuayai on Prime Video.

Afterward, Aliff was faced off with two-sport king and current ONE strawweight Muay Thai world champion Prajanchai PK Saenchai, presumably his next opponent.

Speaking to veteran ONE Championship broadcast analyst Mitch 'The Dragon' Chilson in the ring after his fight, Aliff shared his thoughts on the two-sport titleholder.

"I really have nothing much to say because I know how good Prajanchai is."

Aliff is certainly next in line to face Prajanchai, and hopefully, fans won't have to wait long to see the two face each other in the ring.

ONE Fight Night 32: Nakrob vs. Jaosuayai took place live from the iconic Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, last Saturday, June 7.
