Jihin Radzuan vs Ayaka Miura: Clash of Styles

The pair will be coming off opposite results heading into their matchup, but both will surely be hungry to pick up an all-important win. Radzuan is fresh off a disappointing unanimous decision loss to Chihiro Sawada at ONE Fight Night 20 earlier this month. Despite the defeat, “Shadow Cat” showed significant improvements with her striking game, which she has been honing at the famed Fairtex Training Center.

A three-fight win streak that saw her overcome the former two-time ONE Women’s Atomweight MMA World Title challenger Mei Yamaguchi and Japanese star Itsuki Hirata pushed Radzuan to the #5 position in the atomweight MMA rankings. But she has only won once since then, so she’ll be out to cement her slot on April 5.

However, Miura will be no easy task. “Zombie” pushed ONE Women’s Atomweight Submission Grappling World Champion Danielle Kelly to the limit in their grappling bout at ONE Fight Night 7 last year to further prove why she is one of the most dangerous female grapplers in MMA today.

Japanese star seeks atomweight ascendancy

Ayaka Miura returned to the women’s MMA strawweight ranks in November and claimed a win over China’s Meng Bo. But she wasn’t finished there. Earlier this year, at ONE 165, Miura debuted at atomweight and picked up an impressive win against Itsuki Hirata.

Now, the Japanese star will get a chance to strengthen her position in the stacked division, and she could be pushed into the rankings with a win. Both women will have different reasons for wanting to score victory at ONE Fight Ngiht 21, but fans can expect them to fight with a similar intensity when they collide.
