JAYSON “Dumagmang Warrior” Miralpez will look to put together a win streak for the first time in ONE Friday Fights as he’s set for a promotional return in a few days.
Miralpez returns to actioln against China’s Yeerzati Gemingnuer in a flyweight MMA bout at ONE Friday Fights 113 on June 20 at Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.
After impressing in his debut despite a unanimous decision loss to Robson de Oliveira, Miralpez claimed his first victory in the promotion when he knocked out Japanese fighter Ryuya Hatakeyama in the first round of their strawweight MMA bout.
Not wanting the fight to reach the judges in his second outing in the promotion, the 21-year-old timed a solid left hook that put the lights out on his opponent as he took his first win in the series.
Now competing in a heavier weight class, fans are on the lookout for that power this time around.
It won’t be easy for him against Gemingnuer, who overwhelmed his opponents with his wrestling and top control in his previous fights.
The Chinese fighter comes into ONE Championship with a healthy 6-1 record and will look to wreak havoc in the flyweight division – starting at Lumpinee.
Both fighters will be competing for the US$100,000 contract to compete in ONE Championship’s main roster, with Miralpez looking to follow in the footsteps of Carlo Bumina-ang of Team Lakay and Islay Erika Bomogao of Team Bagsik – two fighters who used the Friday
Fights circuit as a catapult to the promotion.
