Golden opportunities don’t come every day.
Jeremy “The Jaguar” Miado understands that and he’s just filled with gratitude as he gets the biggest break of his career as part of the special ONE X card this 26 March at the Singapore Indoor Stadium.
“I’m really surprised to be added to this card because this is not just another big event, this is the 10th year anniversary card for ONE Championship. This means so much for me as an athlete because I will be part of a historic card like this alongside some of the big names here at ONE,” he said.
Miado is indeed honored to share the stage with the likes of ONE Women’s Atomweight World Champion “Unstoppable” Angela Lee, reigning ONE Women’s Atomweight World Grand Prix winner Stamp Fairtex, ONE Flyweight World Champion Adriano “Mikinho” Moraes, ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World Champion Rodtang “The Iron Man” Jitmuangnon, and mixed martial arts legend Demetrious “Mighty Mouse” Johnson.
However, Miado’s break also came with a cost as he will figure in a rare all-Filipino fight against Lito “Thunder Kid” Adiwang in a hard-hitting strawweight clash.
The news certainly left “The Jaguar” with mixed feelings as he said: “It’s surprising to me because I will fight another Filipino. We are both fighting and hoisting our country’s flag.”
Tough as this challenge may be, Miado knows that he has no other recourse but to keep his focus and give it his all as he aims to extend his win streak to three.
“This won’t be the first time that I will fight a fellow Filipino, so I’ll just have to take the fight as like my other fights. I have so much respect for Adiwang, especially as he’s a fellow Filipino, but I believe we will give it our all and not take this personally,” he stated.
Indeed, the Blaze FC Strawweight Champion has faced Filipinos at ONE Championship before, tasting a split decision defeat to Robin “The Ilonggo” Catalan at ONE: KINGS OF DESTINY in April 2017.
