Jeremy Miado, Avazbek Kholmirzaev Set For Thrilling Flyweight MMA Battle At ONE Fight Night 38
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, December 5, will feature two dangerous knockout artists who are determined to make some serious noise in one of the promotion’s most competitive divisions.
Miado enters ONE Championship’s final U.S. primetime event of the year riding the confidence of a successful flyweight debut.
After spending the past several years competing in the strawweight ranks, “The Jaguar” moved up a weight class and secured a unanimous decision victory over Gilbert Nakatani at ONE Fight Night 28 this past February.
The move up in weight has revitalized the 32-year-old Filipino, who displayed the speed and power that make him one of the Philippines’ most exciting stars.
Miado’s trademark striking, which has helped him wrap up six victories inside the distance, looked sharper than ever against the Japanese-American throughout their three-round battle.
With a fighting style built around electrifying knockout power and non-stop aggression, “The Jaguar” wants to waste no time in reaching the pinnacle of the flyweight division.
However, his finishing instincts will face an immediate litmus test at ONE Fight Night 38.
Kholmirzaev earned his spot on ONE Championship’s global roster the hard way – by dominating the opposition on the ONE Friday Fights event series to prove he belongs among the world’s best.
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, “Ninzya” returned 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. And he quickly proved once again in his U.S. primetime debut at ONE Fight Night 37 earlier this month that he belonged.
Despite absorbing early pressure from previously undefeated South African sensation Willie “White Lion” van Rooyen, the Uzbek striker capitalized on a scramble and secured the fight-ending armbar at 3:52 of the opening round.
The victory improved Kholmirzaev’s career record to 14-2 with an astonishing 13 finishes. That’s a 93 percent finishing rate, which instantly makes him one of the flyweight MMA division’s most dangerous young fighters.
When these two flyweights collide on December 5, something has to give. Miado’s revitalized stand-up arsenal meets Kholmirzaev’s relentless aggression in what promises to be a barnburner in the Thai capital.
