Filipino star Jeremy Miado takes on fourth-ranked strawweight MMA contender Hiroba Minowa at ONE Fight Night 23
Jeremy Miado has a shot at redemption when he faces Japanese standout Hiroba Minowa at ONE Fight Night 23 in two months.
The Filipino striker has been knocking at the door of the strawweight MMA rankings, and he could finally barge through it if he beats the fourth-ranked contender Minowa on July 5 at the iconic Lumpinee Boxing Stadium.
Filipino news outlet ABS-CBN News reported on the development on its website.
Miado has always been one of the most exciting fighters in the stacked ONE Championship roster, and his striking-heavy style earned him six spectacular wins in the promotion.
'The Jaguar,' on the other hand, has been on a slump recently and is coming off a loss against Keito Yamakita at ONE 166 in Qatar this past March.
Minowa, meanwhile, is one of the most technical fighters in the promotion and he used his grappling-heavy offense to chalk up two wins in his ONE Championship run.
The 25-year-old from Saitama, Japan, however, is coming off a disappointing split decision loss to third-ranked contender Gustavo Balart.
A win for either Jeremy Miado or Minowa would quickly shift their fortunes in ONE Championship, but more so for the Filipino star who can make his case for his inclusion in the top five strawweight MMA rankings.
ONE Fight Night 23 is available live and free to all Prime Video subscribers in the United States and Canada.
