Ondash Vows To Snap Yoshinari's Unbeaten Streak

Ramadan Ondash plans to deliver Shimon Yoshinari's first defeat under the ONE Championship banner when the flyweight Muay Thai contenders collide in a Grand Prix quarterfinal at The Inner Circle 38 on November 13.

The 20-year-old Lebanese striker enters ranked fifth in the division, one rung below Yoshinari on the flyweight ladder, according to BJPenn.com. The Japanese fighter most recently finished Suablack Tor Pran49 at ONE SAMURAI 3 and carries an unblemished record in the promotion built on southpaw precision and heavy body work from the Tiger Muay Thai camp.

Lebanese Striker Targets Knockout Finish

Ondash questioned whether Yoshinari possesses genuine stopping power despite his technical gifts. "He's fast, but he doesn't have power," the Lebanese fighter told onefc.com, adding he intends to score the stoppage by hand. Ondash has won consecutive bouts against Suriyanlek Por Yenying and Johan Ghazali since stepping up to flyweight following a four-fight winning streak that earned his main roster spot on ONE's developmental series.

The winner advances to face either Rodtang Jitmuangnon or Nong-O Hama, who square off on the same Bangkok card. Ondash admitted Rodtang was once his hero but said admiration stops at the cage door. "If I fight Rodtang, I'm going to win," he said, per the report. The bracket will decide the undisputed flyweight Muay Thai champion, with current titleholder Asadula Imangazaliev also competing in the tournament.

Ondash said his focus remains locked on the opponent directly ahead rather than the belt itself. The Inner Circle 38 streams live from Lumpinee Stadium in Asia primetime on Friday.
