In six years of competing in the ONE Championship, Algerian fighter Elias Mahmoudi has built a reputation as one of the more electrifying fighters in the promotion through the heat and flair he brings every time he competes.
ONE Championship highlighted this in a recent Instagram post to drum up focus on his battle with veteran Denis Puric at ONE Fight Night 26: Lee vs. Rasulov on Dec. 6 at the Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.
The post consisted of videos showing some explosive weaponry that 'The Sniper' has flexed since coming on board ONE in January 2019.

Elias Mahmoudi's ONE journey started with a convincing decision victory over Japanese Yukinori Ogasawara in his debut in January 2019. He had three more victories since, including in his last two matches, which both came by knockout.
It is a momentum he looks to build on when he takes battles Puric in their flyweight Muay Thai clash at ONE Fight Night 26, which will be aired live and for free in U.S. primetime to North American fans with an active Amazon Prime Video subscription.
Elias Mahmoudi looks to vie for the world title with win over Denis Puric at ONE Fight Night 26
Elias Mahmoudi is out for a big win in his showdown with Denis Puric at ONE Fight Night 26 on Dec. 6, looking to finally earn a title shot next.
The 26-year-old Mahmoudi Gym standout expressed this in an Instagram post in line with his scheduled return to action. Using a poster of his clash against 'The Bosnian Menace,' he wrote:
"Another step closer to the belt. Meet fight against the number 2 in the flyweight rankings. We hope that after this fight, it will be the title [next]. To all those who follow me, I promise you a fiery fight."
The flyweight Muay Thai belt is currently vacant after longtime divisional king Rodtang Jitmuangnon was stripped for missing weight in his most recent title fight.
Entering ONE Fight Night 26, Mahmoudi has won back-to-back matches, the most recent being a third-round knockout of Taiki Naito of Japan by a spinning back fist last August.
