Malaysian-Thai knockout machine Aliff Sor Dechapan did what he does best to halt his two-match skid at ONE Fight Night 24 last Friday, August 2.

The 21-year-old striker wrapped his night with a first-round finish of Moroccan fighter Zakaria El Jamari in their 132.75-pound catchweight Muay Thai joust inside the iconic Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.

Though seemingly lost for words after getting his hand raised, the Thailand-based fighter believes there would be only positives from now on after bagging his first victory on the promotion's American primetime card.

Speaking to Circle-side color commentator Mitch Chilson, Aliff shared:

“Remember me, I’m the guy who can do all the most beautiful Muay Thai moves here in ONE Championship."

After reading what his opposite number brought to the table, the Malaysian-Thai warrior bit on his mouthpiece and loaded up his weapons.

From there, it didn't take him long to put the cherry on the cake - and what a finish it was.

The Sor Dechapan star whipped out a head kick from hell just past the 60-second mark of the tie to drop El Jamari to the canvas.

Sensing a finish was near, he hopped back into the pocket after his foe regained his footing, slamming in a body shot and a straight right to earn the knockout just 97 seconds into the tie.


Aliff thankful for $50,000 performance bonus

To make matters sweeter, Aliff bagged a US $50,000 performance bonus from ONE Championship Chairman and CEO Chatri Sityodtong for his statement finish.

On the bonus, the 21-year-old said:

"I feel very happy to earn that bonus here in ONE Championship. This is one of my goals."

His victorious outing inside the Mecca of Muay Thai last week improved his overall resume to 58-9. At the same time, his promotional record now stands at 5-2.
