Abdallah Ondash, a powerful Lebanese striker, is set to face Singdomthong Nokjeanladkrabang in a high-stakes 127-pound Muay Thai bout on Friday, June 13. This main event takes place at the iconic Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, during ONE Friday Fights 112. Both fighters are vying for a chance to secure a lucrative six-figure contract and a coveted spot on ONE Championship's global roster.
At just 23 years old, Ondash has made a significant impact in the combat sports world, achieving five wins and only one loss in his six-fight journey with ONE Friday Fights. His only defeat came from a majority decision against the seasoned veteran Chokpreecha PK Saenchai. Singdomthong also boasts a similar success rate, setting the stage for a thrilling contest between two of Muay Thai's most promising talents.
Ondash respects Singdomthong's accomplishments, acknowledging his six wins in seven fights, with one narrow loss. Singdomthong holds accolades like the WMC and IFMA belts and is known for his technical fighting style. Ondash, however, believes that Singdomthong is unprepared for his explosive approach:
“Singdomthong is a respected fighter with solid credentials. However, he hasn’t faced someone like me. Fighting Thais is one thing, but fighting an international fighter brings a different challenge.”
Splitting his training between his home gym in Lebanon and the renowned Tiger Muay Thai in Thailand, Ondash has developed a reputation for his heavy-handed striking. His dynamic fighting style has led to several highlight-reel knockouts in ONE Championship. Despite his knockout power, Ondash is also a dedicated strategist. He has analyzed Singdomthong's fighting style, pinpointing strengths and weaknesses. Ondash stated:
“Singdomthong moves well and works on leg attacks. His vulnerability? You’ll see in the fight. I plan to keep it a surprise.”
Staying true to his grounded nature, Ondash avoids brash predictions. He remains focused on performing at his best, training diligently in preparation for Singdomthong. Regardless of the fight's outcome, he emphasizes his determination to learn and grow from the experience:
“I will fight as I always do. Winning means progress for me. If I lose, I’ll learn valuable lessons. A knockout would elevate my career significantly.”
After only two losses in his professional journey, with the most recent occurring last summer at ONE Friday Fights 70, Ondash is motivated to prove that he can regain momentum. In that bout, he faced Chokpreecha and lost a closely contested decision. Ondash insists that illness impacted his performance that day:
“I had a tough time leading up to my last fight. Winning that match would have secured my contract. But now, my focus is entirely on Singdomthong. I want to win.”
Looking beyond his upcoming bout, Ondash has clear ambitions. He is not only targeting a victory against Singdomthong but also has his eyes set on a rematch with Chokpreecha. He is determined to rewrite that chapter of his career:
“After I defeat Singdomthong, I want to face Chokpreecha again. I seek redemption.”
As Ondash prepares to make his statement in this crucial fight on June 13, both the fans and the ONE Championship are eager to witness this exciting clash in the heart of Bangkok.
