Fiery atomweight MMA tie between Ayaka Miura, Jihin Radzuan locked in for ONE Fight Night 25
Japanese standout Ayaka Miura and Malaysian warrior Jihin Radzuan will join the ever-growing list of superstars that will feature at ONE Fight Night 25 on October 4. The superstars lock horns in an atomweight MMA fixture inside the legendary Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.
The promotion revealed the scrap on their official Instagram account on Sunday, posting:
“ZOMBIE” VS. “SHADOW CAT” 🧟♀️🐈⬛ Japanese star Ayaka Miura meets Malaysian fan favorite Jihin Radzuan in a clash of atomweight MMA contenders on October 4 at ONE Fight Night 25 on @primevideo!"
Ayaka Miura, fighting out of Tribe Tokyo MMA, will be on the hunt for a third successive triumph on the global stage.
After forcing Meng Bo to tap to her trademark scarf-hold Americana – better known as the Ayaka Lock – the Japanese veteran decided to seek fresher avenues in the jam-packed atomweight division.
The former ONE strawweight MMA world title challenger kicked things off in style with a dominant win over Itsuki Hirata at ONE 165: Superlek vs Takeru in Japan earlier this year, looking far more explosive in the lighter weight bracket.
Now, the 33-year-old is ready to make it two from two in 2024 and potentially crack into the rankings. Overall, Ayaka Miura is 13-5 in her career with eight submission wins under her belt.

As for Jihin Radzuan, the Malaysian talent is in need of a morale-boosting triumph when she meets Miura inside the Mecca of Muay Thai in a couple of months.
The Fairtex Training Center martial artist dropped out of the rankings after losing to in-form Chihiro Sawada at ONE Fight Night 22 this past May after three closely contested rounds.
Prior to that, she was on a tear of four victories from five appearances, solidifying her status as one of the most dangerous fighters in the 115-pound division.
'Shadow Cat' should have all the necessary tools to handle Miura's threatening grappling skills. But she cannot sleep on the latter's finishing abilities when they meet in this exciting atomweight MMA duel at ONE Fight Night 25 on October 4.
