Jayson “Dumagmang Warrior” Miralpez is looking to build momentum and secure his first win streak in ONE Friday Fights, as he makes his return to action on June 20, 2025, at Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand. Miralpez will take on China’s Yeerzati Gemingnuer in a flyweight MMA bout at ONE Friday Fights 113, and the stakes are high for both fighters.
Miralpez, who made his debut at ONE Friday Fights, earned a hard-fought victory despite a unanimous decision loss to Robson de Oliveira in his debut. However, the 21-year-old bounced back and delivered a stunning first-round knockout over Japanese fighter Ryuya Hatakeyama in his second outing in the promotion. Miralpez’s quick finish of Hatakeyama showed his striking prowess and ability to close out fights early.
“Not wanting the fight to reach the judges,” Miralpez landed a solid left hook that put Hatakeyama down, marking his first victory in ONE Championship.
After that knockout, Miralpez is aiming to keep the momentum going as he competes in a heavier flyweight division. Fans will be eagerly watching to see if his knockout power will translate into his new weight class.
A Tough Challenge Ahead
Miralpez’s next opponent, Yeerzati Gemingnuer, brings a different set of challenges to the table. The Chinese fighter enters the contest with a 6-1 record and has impressed with his strong wrestling and top control in previous fights. Gemingnuer has overwhelmed his opponents with his dominant grappling, making him a tough test for Miralpez as they square off in Bangkok.
This fight is important for both fighters, with the winner walking away with a US$100,000 contract to join the main roster of ONE Championship. Miralpez will be hoping to follow in the footsteps of Carlo Bumina-ang of Team Lakay and Islay Erika Bomogao of Team Bagsik, both of whom used the Friday Fights circuit as a launchpad for their careers in the promotion.
The Road to ONE Championship
For Miralpez, this opportunity is a chance to prove that his victory was no fluke and that he can compete at the highest level in the flyweight division. His knockout power and explosive style have made him a fan favorite, but this fight against Gemingnuer will be a major test of his skills.
As both fighters look to secure their place in ONE Championship, the outcome of this clash at Lumpinee Stadium could determine the future of their careers. With the chance to join the ranks of some of the best fighters in the world, Miralpez and Gemingnuer will certainly bring their best to the cage.
