In the main event, Aliff Sor Dechapan etched his name into the record books with his most brilliant performance yet. The 22-year-old Malaysian knocked out the legendary Sam-A Gaiyanghadao to capture the ONE Interim Strawweight Muay Thai World Championship.

The monumental victory not only made him the first Malaysian to capture a ONE World Title, but it also earned him a well-deserved US$50,000 performance bonus for his highlight-reel win.

In addition, the bantamweight kickboxing co-main event witnessed the striking mastery of seven-time Muay Thai World Champion “The Angel Warrior” Panpayak Jitmuangnon, who claimed a unanimous decision victory and remained unbeaten in kickboxing under the ONE Championship banner.
