"Alhamdulillah we did it again🇲🇦, still undefeated☝🏼🤲🏼 I want the new ONE [world title]🥇 #bantamweighttitle"
Ennahachi holds a perfect 5-0 record in ONE Championship and was 3-0 during his reign as the ONE flyweight kickboxing world champion.
The Moroccan star is also the only fighter in ONE Championship history to have beaten Superlek Kiatmoo9, who now reigns as the ONE flyweight kickboxing and bantamweight Muay Thai world champion.
Despite his perfect run at flyweight, Ennahachi decided to leave the division after health scares prevented him from making the 135-pound limit.
He's since moved up to bantamweight, where he holds a knockout win over Aliasghar Ghodratisaraskan and a crucial unanimous decision win over Akimoto, a former ONE bantamweight kickboxing world champion.
Ilias Ennahachi believes he has the power to hurt Rodtang
Many consider Rodtang Jitmuangnon as almost unstoppable inside the cage or between the ropes, but Ilias Ennahachi believes he has what it takes to put a dent in the Thai megastar's armor.
The reigning ONE flyweight Muay Thai world champion is known as 'The Iron Man' for his unbelievable resilience and chin, a trait Ennahachi believes won't be a problem if he gets a crack at Rodtang.
Ennahachi said in an interview with the South China Morning Post:
"I think a lot of guys are gonna say Rodtang [has the best chin], but the guys he fought don’t have power, I think. But for now, I’m gonna say Rodtang, but he doesn’t have good opponents yet. They don’t have power. Because when I get to punch him, I don’t think he’s gonna put his hands down, I don’t think so."
