JEREMY “The Juggernaut” Pacatiw opens a new chapter in his career as he braces for his first fight under Lions Nation MMA.
The tough Igorot fighter will be stepping inside the ring once again at ONE Fight Night 21: Eersel vs. Nicolas on April 6 at Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok.
There, Pacatiw will take on “Little Whirlwind” Wang Shuo in a bantamweight showdown with both fighters eyeing to move up the rankings.
It’s a golden opportunity for Pacatiw to prove that he’s a worthy contender in his class after last seeing action at ONE 164: Pacio vs. Brooks back in December 2022 where he secured an impressive second round submission win over “The Dragon Leg” Tial Thang and earned a US$50,000 performance bonus.
Since then, a lot has changed for him, most notably him leaving Team Lakay to link up with his former teammates Eduard “Landslide” Folayang and Joshua “The Passion” Pacio.
Wang, on the other hand, is motivated to bounce back after tasting a unanimous decision loss to Tatsumitsu “The Sweeper” Wada at Only The Brave way back in January 2022.
They join another loaded card which will see Regian “The Immortal” Eersel defending his ONE Lightweight Kickboxing World Championship against Alexis “Barboza” Nicolas in the main event, while Tye Ruotolo defends his ONE Welterweight Submission Grappling World Championship for the first time against Australian challenger Izaak Michell.
