This Friday, 'The Scorpion' will make his U.S. Primetime debut against the Thai-Malaysian contender in a pivotal three-round strawweight Muay Thai showdown at Bangkok’s Lumpinee Stadium.

Ondash has blazed through the home of martial arts, using his explosive power to rack up four straight victories.

He won a six-figure contract to join the main roster after his statement finish of Chartpayak Saksatoon at ONE Friday Fights 114 in his last outing.

Aliff is on a similar path, earning his spot through the ONE Friday Fights circuit and continuing to impress against elite competition. The 21-year-old is also on a four-fight winning streak, with his latest win coming against Elmehdi El Jamari via unanimous decision at ONE Fight Night 32 in June.

While the comparisons between Ondash and Aliff are uncanny, the Tiger Muay Thai insists he holds more destructive power.

Ondash told ONE Championship:

"He's a good fighter, Aliff is a very good fighter. But he doesn't have much power in his hands, unlike me. He fought Yangdam for three rounds. I finished Yangdam in one minute only. I have more power, [I'm] faster than him."

Ramadan Ondash acknowledges Aliff as a 'strong' opponent

Ramadan Ondash knows the road only gets tougher now that he's joined the promotion's main roster.

The Lebanese stalwart is honored to draw a formidable opponent in his U.S. Primetime debut.

'The Scorpion' had high praise for Aliff in the same ONE Championship interview:

“He’s a strong man, he’s a good fighter. I train hard to fight Aliff, of course. His [main weapons] are punches and kicks, but that’s all. He’s a [better opponent] for me. Because my sparring partners are taller than me, I know how to fight them.”
