Lebanese ace Ondash looks to build on ONE Championship debut win

As debut’s go, they don’t get much more dramatic than that of Abdallah Ondash. The 22-year-old faced Thailand’s Parnpet Sor Jor Lekmuangnon at ONE Friday Fights 27 and after two cautious rounds he looked to be heading for defeat. However on the third anniversary of the devastating Beirut port explosion, he dug deep to pull off a stunning stoppage win, with just ONE SECOND left on the clock in the third and final round. Ondash, whose brothers Ahmad and Ramadan are also martial artists, moved to Thailand to train at the esteemed gym Tiger Muay Thai, but his heart will always be in the coyote he was born and raised in –  Beirut. Now the Lebanese Muay Thai proponent faces his second test when he takes on Palangboon Wor Santai at ONE Friday Fights 33 this week. The 126lbs catchweight bout will give Ondash another opportunity to show what he is capable of in the highly competitive world of ONE Muay Thai. He will be looking to follow up on the performance bonus worth $10,000 he received for his debut knockout win – and build on his 17-1 record in professional Muay Thai. ONE Friday Fights 33 comes live from the famous Lumpinee Boxing Stadium, Bangkok on Friday September 15. Fight fans in the MENA region can watch the first half of the card on BeINSPORTS from 3.30pm MECCA. The other half of the card is broadcast on ONE Championship’s official YouTube channel and on watch.onefc.com
