The Philippines will be well-represented at ONE Fight Night 28 on February 8, 2025, as Filipino fighters Carlo Bumina-ang and Jeremy Miado join a star-studded lineup set to take place at the iconic Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.
Both fighters bring unique stories and determination to this thrilling event.
Carlo Bumina-ang: Seeking Redemption
Carlo Bumina-ang, a contract winner from ONE Friday Fights, is eager to bounce back after a setback in his main roster debut. The hard-hitting Team Lakay standout will face Song Min Jong in a three-round bantamweight MMA bout.
Bumina-ang’s impressive five-fight winning streak was halted by Enkh-Orgil Baatarkhuu, but “The Bull” remains confident in his ability to reclaim his winning form.
Interestingly, Bumina-ang has a strategic edge in this matchup. Song Min Jong’s last loss came at the hands of Bumina-ang’s teammate, former ONE Flyweight World Champion Geje Eustaquio. With this insight, Bumina-ang is well-prepared to face the Korean striker, who remains unbeaten since moving to the bantamweight division.
Jeremy Miado: A New Challenge
Meanwhile, Jeremy Miado is embarking on a new chapter in his career, moving up to the flyweight division after facing challenges in the strawweight division.
Miado, once a rising contender in ONE’s strawweight MMA scene, hit a rough patch with four consecutive losses against tough opponents. Hoping for a resurgence, Miado will test his mettle against Gilbert Nakatani in a three-round flyweight MMA contest.
Nakatani, known for pushing top-tier competition like Yuya Wakamatsu, will present a tough challenge for Miado. However, Miado’s move to a higher weight class could rejuvenate his career and provide a fresh start.
A Stacked Card for Philippine MMA Fans
Bumina-ang and Miado join an already exciting lineup for ONE Fight Night 28, which features several high-profile matchups:
- Lito Adiwang vs. Keito Yamakita: Adiwang takes on the #5-ranked strawweight contender.
- Jeremy Pacatiw vs. Ibrahim Dauev: Lions Nation MMA’s Pacatiw faces Dauev in an anticipated clash.
- Main Event: Two-sport striking champion Prajanchai PK Saenchai defends his Muay Thai belt against Ellis Badr Barboza.
With Filipino fighters taking center stage, ONE Fight Night 28 promises to be a can’t-miss event for fans of Philippine MMA.
