Ilias Ennahachi has come to terms with ONE Championship and signed a new two-year contract with the promotion.
Earlier this year, the former Flyweight Kickboxing champion announced his departure from ONE on social media: "After 4 years in ONE Championship without no losses and 3 belts, its time for new challenges!"
Like many kickboxers before him, the Dutch-Moroccan fighter was open about his intention of making the switch over to MMA in the coming months.
His coach Said El Badaoui has informed Vechtsport Info that he will instead continue kickboxing, as ONE came around with a lucrative offer.
“Ilias was going to switch to MMA fighting, but received a top offer from ONE. So he signed for two years.”
After being unable to make the Flyweight limit, Ennahachi vacated the title ahead of his rematch against Superlek against in January 2023. One month later, he made his successful Bantamweight debut, knocking out Aliasghar Ghodratisaraskan in the second round at ONE Friday Fights 6.
