Ayaka Miura battles Jihin Radzuan at ONE Fight Night 21
An intriguing atomweight MMA showdown has been booked for ONE Fight Night 21 on Prime Video this April 5.
Ayaka Miura is set to take on #5-ranked contender Jihin Radzuan live in U.S. primetime. The fight happens at the iconic Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.
At first glance, both women appear to be at contrasting junctures in their careers.
Miura is a seasoned veteran who has spent years in the upper echelon of the strawweight division. This past January, she recently made the pivotal decision to drop down to atomweight.
Her debut in the division saw her secure an impressive decision victory over Japanese compatriot Itsuki Hirata. This signaled her intentions to make a mark in her new weight class.
With her sights set on atomweight gold, “Zombie” aims to continue her ascent by usurping Radzuan’s spot in the top five with a win.
On the other hand, Radzuan enters the bout on the heels of a decision loss to Chihiro Sawada in a catchweight contest earlier this month.
Despite the setback, “Shadow Cat” remains undeterred and hungry for redemption.
With 12 matches under her belt in ONE Championship, Radzuan carries a wealth of experience that makes her a formidable foe for anyone at 115 pounds.
Ayaka Miura vs. Jihin Radzuan guarantees clash of styles
Beyond the implication for the rankings, Ayaka Miura and Jihin Radzuan bring distinct styles and strengths to the ring at ONE Fight Night 21 on Prime Video.
Miura’s world-class judo and feared “Ayaka Lock” submission make her a force to be reckoned with.
Moreover, the Japanese woman carried over her imposing physicality to atomweight. This could play a significant factor against Radzuan’s technical prowess and tenacity.
Meanwhile, Radzuan presents a different challenge altogether.
An aggressive technician with a knack for trading strikes and seeking out submissions, the Malaysian possesses the versatility to adapt to any situation.
It’s safe to say that Raduzuan poses to be a tough nut to crack for Miura.
