Shadow Singha Mawynn is among the many athletes on the ONE Friday Fights circuit eyeing a six-figure contract to join ONE Championship's main roster, which he believes will come sooner rather than later.
In an interview with the promotion, Shadow reflected on his unanimous decision win over Mohammad Siasarani this past September and why he thinks it was not enough for him to get the contract:
"After I beat Mohammad, I still didn't get the contract. I wasn't surprised because I thought that when it comes to being on the global stage, I have to do better, and it wasn't my time yet. But I think the time will come."

Emerging with the hard-fought victory over Siasarani marked Shadow's third straight win under the ONE banner, where he impressed fans with his striking acumen in the second and third rounds.
Determined than ever to join ONE's main roster, the 24-year-old's hopes of receiving a six-figure ONE contract could rest on how he performs against Thai star Sitthichai Sitsongpeenong at ONE Friday Fights 92 on Friday, Dec. 20.
Shadow prepared to go in guns blazing versus Sitthichai
Stepping into the circle with an established Muay Thai and kickboxing veteran like Sitthichai would have had other fighters questioning their confidence, but not Shadow.
In an interview with ONE, the Singha Mawynn affiliate shared his feelings on finding out that the 33-year-old great was his next opponent:
"The moment I found out I was going to fight Sitthichai, was I nervous? I wasn't nervous or pressured at all because I have nothing to lose."
ONE Friday Fights 92 will occur inside the legendary Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand. The entire event will be available live on Asian primetime via pay-per-view at watch.onefc.com.
