Filipino striker Jeremy "The Jaguar" Miado will put his newfound momentum to the test against surging Uzbek bruiser Avazbek "Ninzya" Kholmirzaev in a flyweight MMA clash at ONE Fight Night 38: Andrade
vs. Baatarkhuu on Prime Video.
The high-stakes matchup, which broadcasts live in U.S. primetime from Bangkok's Lumpinee Stadium on Friday, 5 December, will feature two dangerous knockout artists who are determined to make serious noise in the division.
Miado enters ONE Championship's final U.S. primetime event of the year riding the confidence of a successful flyweight debut following several years competing in the deep strawweight ranks against the division's elite.
"The Jaguar" moved up a weight class and secured a unanimous decision victory over Gilbert Nakatani at ONE Fight Night 28 this past February, displaying the speed and power that make him one of the Philippines' most exciting stars.
The move up in weight has revitalised the 32-year-old Filipino, whose trademark striking has helped him wrap up six victories inside the distance with electrifying knockout power and non-stop aggression.
Miado's dangerous finishing instincts will face an immediate litmus test at ONE Fight Night 38 against a ferocious opponent who has proven equally dangerous when opportunities arise inside the ring.
Kholmirzaev earned his spot on ONE Championship's global roster the hard way, dominating the opposition on the ONE Friday Fights event series to prove he belongs among the world's best athletes.
He kicked off his promotional run with a trio of highlight-reel finishes to announce his arrival in style, though he suffered a tough setback in September 2024 before returning stronger than ever.
The 24-year-old Uzbek responded with three consecutive stoppage victories and then earned the biggest win of his career, a decisive unanimous decision over former two-time DEEP Flyweight Champion Tatsumitsu "The Sweeper" Wada this past July.
That impressive performance earned Kholmirzaev a six-figure contract and a spot on the global roster, where he quickly proved he belonged with a stunning submission victory in his U.S. primetime debut.
At ONE Fight Night 37 earlier this month, the Uzbek striker capitalised on a scramble and secured the fight-ending armbar at 3:52 of the opening round against previously undefeated Willie "White Lion" van Rooyen.
The victory improved Kholmirzaev's career record to 14-2 with an astonishing 13 finishes, a 93 percent finishing rate that instantly makes him one of the flyweight MMA division's most dangerous young fighters.
When these two determined flyweight mixed martial artists collide on 5 December, Miado's revitalised stand-up arsenal meets Kholmirzaev's relentless aggression in what promises to be a barnburner in the Thai capital.
