ONE Fight Night 40: Jihin Radzuan Eyes Comeback vs Unbeaten Fujimoto

Every fighter faces adversity, but it's how they respond that defines their legacy. Malaysian submission specialist Jihin Radzuan finds herself at a crucial crossroads in her ONE Championship career, having lost three of her last four bouts in the ultra-competitive atomweight MMA division.

The 27-year-old southpaw will look to halt her slide when she faces undefeated Brazilian Gabriela Fujimoto at ONE Fight Night 40 on 14 February. With eight victories under the ONE banner, Radzuan remains a dangerous veteran who has competed against the division's elite throughout her tenure.

Despite facing an undefeated opponent in her promotional debut, Radzuan believes she has identified areas where her experience can make the difference. The Malaysian has been

working extensively on her striking game during this training camp.

"I really want to redeem myself in this fight. I feel very confident. I think fans can expect a big and significant change in my striking and everything. I'm ready to leave everything in the ring and perform at my very best," Radzuan said.

While Fujimoto's record speaks volumes about her finishing ability, Radzuan isn't overlooking any aspect of the Brazilian's game. The veteran has done her homework on the unbeaten star, studying tape to prepare for what promises to be an explosive encounter.

"I've watched some of her fights, and I believe she's a well-rounded fighter. She's undefeated as well. 7-0. I think she's more of a striker, but I'm not looking down on her grappling game. I think this is going to be a very exciting match," she said.

The bout represents vastly different stakes for both women. Fujimoto will be eager to announce her arrival on the global stage with a statement victory, while Radzuan needs to recapture the form that made her one of atomweight's most feared submission artists.

"I need this win very badly. But I can assure you, both of us are going to give our best. Of course, she wants to show her best performance since this is her debut, and I want to show my best to claim myself back in the winner's column," Radzuan said.
