Lebanese teenage striking phenom Ramadan Ondash shed light on his upcoming fight against Thai-Malaysian sensation Aliff Sor Dechapan and revealed his ultimate goal when they clash in a strawweight Muay Thai showdown at ONE Fight Night 38 on 6 December in Bangkok, Thailand.

The 19-year-old from Tiger Muay Thai and 21-year-old Aliff are both graduates of the ONE Friday Fights event series, earning six-figure main roster contracts with their remarkable performances on the developmental platform.

Ondash brings an impressive 4-0 promotional record with two finishes into this high-stakes matchup. The Lebanese boasts a 12-2 career record and has defeated durable Thai fighters during his ONE Championship run, demonstrating his ability to compete with elite Muay Thai talent.

He has studied his opponent extensively and believes his superior power and speed will be the decisive factors. The sensation pointed to his ability to finish opponents quickly compared to Aliff's approach as evidence of his advantages.

"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," Ondash said.

"It will be a very good fight. A strong fight for fans. I respect him. Everyone will see who is Aliff and who is Ramadan. If anyone wants to see a war fight, they should watch my fight, a good fight, two very good young fighters."

Despite his young age, Ondash fights with championship aspirations driving every training session and performance. The 19-year-old has dreamed about competing for ONE Championship gold since childhood and believes the moment is rapidly approaching with each victory.

The undefeated promotional record puts Ondash in prime position to challenge for the strawweight Muay Thai title. However, he understands he must continue building his resume with quality victories against increasingly difficult opponents like Aliff.

"I want to fight for the belt. I waited for the moment since I was a kid. I will do my best. That's it. Step by step I will get there. I need to get the belt now," Ondash said.
