Shadow, Mohamed Younes Rabah rematch added to ONE Fight Night 38

Thai slugger Shadow Singha Mawynn and Algerian destroyer Mohamed Younes Rabah will run it back in a featherweight Muay Thai scrap, which will be part of ONE Fight Night 38 on Friday, December 5.

Shadow, a former Rajadamnern Stadium Muay Thai world champion, and the Team Mehdi Zatout warrior will settle unfinished business live in American primetime from Bangkok, Thailand.

Both men treated fight fans to a classic all-action battle at ONE Fight Night 33 in July this year. That was, of course, until action came to a halt due to an accidental and unintentional strike.

The PK Saenchai Muaythaigym representative advanced into enemy territory behind his series of demonizing kicks. The 25-year-old battered Rabah's thighs with power on the inside and the outside, which slowed down the normally speedy Algerian.

His powerful kicks, however, didn't stop 'The Eagle' from flying forward in search of making a statement. The Thailand-based fighter, who trains under former ISKA and WBC world champion Mehdi Zatout, landed calf kicks and followed up with boxing combinations that drew an instant reaction from the PK Saenchai fighter.

Rabah's eagerness to land something big saw him outstrike the third-ranked featherweight Muay Thai contender, but it also left him exposed inside the pocket. Shadow snuck in with a piston-like right hand just before the end of the first bell, dropped his foe onto the canvas, and secured the first knockdown.

Both men went back to the turnbuckle and received instructions from their respective corners. When the match resumed, they wasted no time trading leather in the middle of the ring.

Unfortunately, during an exchange, Shadow accidentally poked Rabah in the eye, and after examination from the ringside doctors, 'The Eagle' couldn't continue, and the referee declared the bout a no contest.

Shadow and Mohamed Younes Rabah in search of a definitive ending at ONE Fight Night 38

Now, five months since that encounter, the pair are ready to run it back in search of a statement win to continue their climb up the stacked featherweight Muay Thai mountain.

Since their first scrap, Shadow has featured in two battles on the global stage. He knocked out second-ranked Bampara Kouyate at ONE Fight Night 35. However, his kickboxing debut in ONE, which he accepted on short notice, ended in defeat at the hands of Liu Mengyang of China.

Rabah, on the other hand, has been waiting patiently for his chance to hop back into action. The Algerian slugger has been putting in the work with Zatout in Pattaya, Thailand, ready to showcase his A-game when ONE delivers another blockbuster spectacle inside the Mecca of Muay Thai.

Who comes out on top in this sequel? Will Shadow gain another knockdown and wrap things up early, or will Rabah stun the local hero and emerge victorious in Bangkok?

North American fans with an active Amazon Prime Video subscription can catch all the action from ONE Fight Night 38, live in U.S. primetime, for free, on Friday, December 5.
