‘The Scorpion’ will take on the stiffest test of his young career so far, when he duels Aliff Sor Dechapan in a crucial strawweight Muay Thai action at ONE Fight Night 38 this Friday, Dec. 5.

After earning that life-changing $100,000 contract from the world’s largest martial arts organization, the 19-year-old finisher now aims to make his championship dreams a reality.

For Ondash, challenging reigning ONE strawweight Muay Thai world champion Prajanchai PK Saenchai is his ultimate goal.

The Tiger Muay Thai standout told ONE Championship in his pre-event interview:

“I want to fight for the belt, Inshallah. I waited for the moment since I was a kid. I will do my best. That’s it.”

Ondash has stormed the home of martial arts with feverish intent, needing just 80 seconds to demolish Yangdam Jitmuangnon in his debut.

The knockout merchant followed that up with dominant victories over Pitchitchai PK Saenchai and Kongchai Chanaidonmueang, but it was his most recent win that turned a lot of heads.

At ONE Friday Fights 114, Ondash announced himself as a dark horse in the 125-pound ranks when he flattened Chartpayak Saksatoon with a brutal left hook.

Ramadan Ondash unbothered by the power of Aliff's strikes

Ramadan Ondash believes he can hurt Aliff once he gets an opening for his fight-ending blows.

Furthermore, 'The Scorpion' isn't exactly worried about the Malaysian-Thai's power, or in this case, its supposed lack thereof.

"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," he told ONE.

Watch Ondash pursue his title dreams at ONE Fight Night 38 from Bangkok’s Lumpinee Stadium, streaming live in U.S. primetime on Prime Video for North American fans.
