Ramadan Ondash demands rematch with Aliff Sor Dechapan: “This is my revenge”

Ramadan “The Scorpion” Ondash had never lost inside ONE Championship before he met Aliff Sor Dechapan at ONE Fight Night 38 in December 2025. The Lebanese striker entered that bout riding a four-fight winning streak that earned him a main-roster contract and pushed him squarely into the ONE Strawweight Muay Thai World Title conversation.

All he had to do was get past Aliff. For two rounds, Ondash believed he was doing exactly that. Then a flying knee in the third sent the 19-year-old to the canvas for an eight-count — a moment that tilted the judges toward a unanimous decision for the Thai-Malaysian contender, who secured his own title shot against reigning champion Prajanchai PK Saenchai in the process.

Ondash accepts the result on paper. The way it unfolded is another matter.

“Everything was good in the fight. For three rounds, I had full power. I think I won the three rounds, but the flying knee changed everything. And the rules in ONE — if you get knocked down, it’s not good,” Ondash said.

“But I’m good now. I don’t know if this is his brain, because he was always running in the ring. He ran too much. That’s why I was running to him. I wanted to get him. I wanted to kill him.”

Ramadan Ondash addresses viral reaction and plots his return

When the scorecards were announced at ONE Fight Night 38, cameras caught Ondash’s reaction. That moment spread fast — one clip from the fight climbed toward 20 million Instagram views, and the commentary that followed hit harder than anything Aliff landed. Online critics, many based in Malaysia, mocked him for showing emotion after the loss.

Ondash pushed back directly.

“I respect him. I respect Aliff very much. But everyone in Malaysia said to me, ‘You’re crying, crying, crying, boy.’ Why? Everyone loses. I know. But I was crying because it was like a close fight. It’s not because of him. Everyone cries. Even legends cry,” he said.

“I learned from this fight very much. I learned to be easy — not to be too crazy — not only punch, punch. Be relaxed. And I want to do more kicks, because I have kicking power. Aliff threw two to three calf kicks and he was finished. I have good power and kicks, but I didn’t use it in the fight. Of course I want a rematch. I’ll eat him. This is my revenge.”
