The Filipino contingent in Qatar gets one more addition with Jeremy “The Jaguar” Miado booked for ONE 166: Qatar at Lusail Sports Arena on March 1.
The T-Rex MMA standout is looking to bounce back as he takes on Keito “Pocket Monk” Yamakita in a strawweight showdown.
It’s another crack at the spotlight for Miado, who suffered a unanimous decision defeat at the hands of Lito “Thunder Kid” Adiwang at ONE Fight Night 16: Haggerty vs. Andrade last November.
Before that, Miado has been on fire, winning four of his last five fights including a third round technical knockout win against the always dangerous Danial “Mini T” Williams at ONE Fight Night 3: Lineker vs. Andrade.
But just as hungry is Yamakita, who is hungry to rebound following a unanimous decision defeat to no. 2-ranked Bokang “Little Giant” Masunyane at ONE 165: Superlek vs Takeru.
Certainly, both fighters will have their guns ablaze as they aim to return to their winning ways.
Also in the card is a massive pair of rematches as ONE Strawweight MMA World Champion Jarred “The Monkey God” Brooks defends his strap against Filipino superstar Joshua “The Passion” Pacio while two-sport World Champion Anatoly “Sladkiy” Malykhin and Reinier “The Dutch Knight” De Ridder tangles anew this time for the latter’s ONE Middleweight MMA World Title.
