‘Fight in the airport, no problem' – ONE Championship teen star's bold claim
Nicknamed 'The Scorpion', Ramadan Ondash is a teenage knockout artist from Lebanon who has already earned a six-figure deal with ONE Championship.
Ondash, who competes in the strawweight Muay Thai division, earned his contract after racking up four straight wins on the ONE Friday Fights series in Bangkok, two of them coming by stoppage.
His left hand in particular has gained a reputation for ending fights in emphatic fashion.
He fought for the first time aged six in Thailand and still remembers the chaos of that debut.
'I was so excited and had more energy, crazy. I was not scared for anyone,' he told the Post. His family moved between Lebanon and Thailand, with his elder brother Ahmad pushing him into the sport.

Ondash said he hated Muay Thai at first, but his outlook changed once the wins started.
