Enkh-Orgil Baatarkhuu is inspired to become only the second ONE world champion from Mongolia, and follow in the footsteps of his mentor and coach, the inaugural ONE featherweight MMA world champion Narantungalag ‘Tungaa’ Jadambaa.

Enkh-Orgil Baatarkhuu told ONE Championship:

“Undoubtedly, his influence was highly impactful. I first met my trainer in 2012, and we’ve been training together for many years.”

If Enkh-Orgil Baatarkhuu is victorious at ONE Fight Night 38 on Prime Video, he will become the first man to defeat Fabricio Andrade in MMA in ONE Championship, and bring home the gold to Mongolia.


Enkh-Orgil Baatarkhuu learned from the legend for his ONE Fight Night 38 world title opportunity

Of course, merely being inspired by Narantungalag Jadambaa is hardly enough to actually win a world title. Which is why Enkh-Orgil Baatarkhuu did his best to learn everything he could from the legend leading up to his ONE bantamweight MMA world title showdown with Fabricio Andrade at ONE Fight Night 38 on Prime Video.

Baatarkhuu told the world’s largest martial arts organization:

“I believe I reached my current level by observing how my trainer prepared to achieve such a high standard. The training I underwent at the World Championship level, as well as the preparation for my ONE Championship fight, was very intense.”
