How Arab Fighters Performed in ONE Championship in April 2025
Three Arab fighters produced mixed results at ONE Championship shows in April 2025.
Moroccan duo Mouhcine Chafi and Elmehdi El Jamari and Algeria’s Zohir Remidi featured on the global martial arts organization’s shows last month.
We recap the performances of the three Arab fighters below.
Mouhcine Chafi Disappoints Again
Mouhcine Chafi suffered another disappointing defeat in ONE Championship at ONE Fight Night 31. George Jarvis dominated the 27-year-old throughout the three rounds, picking up a unanimous decision victory.
Despite his experience and pedigree as a former WBC Light Heavyweight Muay Thai world champion, Chafi has continued his worrying slump in form, losing all three promotional bouts.
Elmehdi El Jamari Stuns Thongpoon
Elmehdi El Jamari lived up to his moniker as “The Sniper” on his debut, knocking out Thai fan-favorite Thongpoon PK Saenchai in the first round at ONE Fight Night 31.
Elmehdi El Jamari outdid his older brother, Zakaria, who had beaten Thongpon via unanimous decision two years earlier.
The 27-year-old star dominated his Thai counterpart from the first second, knocking him down first before knocking him out with a crushing left hook at 2:56 of the first round.
With this win, El Jamari raises his overall professional record to 27-1.
Zohir Remidi Suffers Debut Defeat
Zohir Remidi endured a disappointing debut defeat via TKO against Angel Bauza in a featherweight Muay Thai clash at ONE Friday Fights 104.
The 27-year-old Algerian was forced onto the backfoot for most of the matchup and withstood a barrage of punches.
Despite that the bloodied Remidi tried to make a comeback with strikes of his own, the Argentine continued to dominate, hitting the Algerian with a stiff straight left, forcing the referee to stop the match 2:42 in the first round.
