**Denis Puric Praises Jaosuayai Sor Dechapan After Tough Defeat at ONE Friday Fights 100**
Known as ‘The Bosnian Menace,’ Denis Puric is the kind of fighter who gives credit where it’s due. The veteran warrior, representing both Bosnia and Canada, recently raved about rising star Jaosuayai Sor Dechapan, praising the Thai fighter for his immense talents and huge potential.
The 24-year-old firecracker proved he belongs among the elite when he dominated Puric at ONE Friday Fights 100 in March. Jaosuayai showcased his aggressive style by pushing forward relentlessly and finishing off Puric violently in Round 2. Rather than making excuses for the loss, Puric expressed nothing but respect for the man who handed him defeat.
In an interview with the South China Morning Post (SCMP), the Soi Dogs MMA affiliate spoke highly of Jaosuayai:
“That guy is the real deal. Jaosuayai is going to be a problem in the coming years in Muay Thai, for sure. Especially in ONE if they keep him, if they give him that. Did he get the contract yet? I think he got the contract when he beat me.”
Puric continued, “I have high hopes for that guy. When we fight, you have an opponent, but we’re not enemies. I respect each and every fighter. But Jaosuayai is special, and he’s young. 23-24, he’s got nothing but time.”

**Denis Puric Looks for Redemption at ONE 173 Against Takeru Segawa**
Looking to bounce back from his loss to Jaosuayai, Denis Puric is set to seek redemption at ONE 173 against Japan’s own Takeru Segawa on November 16.
‘The Bosnian Menace’ understands the challenge ahead—with the fight taking place in front of Takeru’s hometown fans at the Ariake Arena—this will be no easy task. In the same SCMP interview, the 40-year-old veteran revealed what he needs to watch out for the most:
“He’s got the body toe stab that he always does, and then he does the calf kicks. But like I said, those are the only two things that he’s got that he can use against me.”
Stay tuned to Sportskeeda and ONE Championship for all the latest updates on ONE 173.
