The Inner Circle On May 8 Results: Adam Sor Dechapan Soars Past Enzo Clarisse With Spectacular Flying Attacks

Adam Sor Dechapan put on a tantalizing display of Muay Thai to defeat Enzo Clarisse by unanimous decision in the main event of The Inner Circle on Friday, May 8, at Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.

The 18-year-old Sor Dechapan athlete wasted no time making his intentions clear in the strawweight Muay Thai tilt, which streamed exclusively for members in Asia primetime at live.onefc.com.

Both men came out bouncing in and out of range in the first round, trading high kicks and punches that grazed each other’s heads. Then, a jumping head kick from Adam found its mark and sent the Frenchman to the canvas for an eight-count.

Clarisse recovered and tried to rally, but the young Thai-Malaysian stayed evasive and kept him at a distance, proving every word of his pre-fight promise to operate on a new level.

Adam continued to launch himself into flying kicks in the second round while mixing in punches to the body. Those combinations began to wear Clarisse down. The 22-year-old spent most of the round on the back foot, unable to find a way to slow the momentum.

Confident in the third round, the 18-year-old came out ripping his hands through his opponent’s guard. The Team Mehdi Zatout representative gave chase, but the teenager remained elusive, picking off the man chasing him down.

The victory moves Adam one step closer to the dream of joining his brother Aliff Sor Dechapan in ONE and earning a shot at the coveted US$100,000 contract. With the win, he improved to 54-5.
