Jeremy Miado is determined to keep his resurgence alive as he steps into another high-risk matchup at ONE Fight Night 38 this Saturday, December 6, at Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand. The Filipino striker meets surging Uzbek contender Avazbek Kholmirzaev in a pivotal flyweight clash that closes out ONE Championship’s 2024 U.S. primetime calendar.

The move to flyweight has breathed new life into Miado’s career after a tough stretch at strawweight. The 32-year-old standout from Albay delivered a composed yet sharp performance in his flyweight debut last February, defeating Gilbert Nakatani by unanimous decision at ONE Fight Night 28. His speed, clean boxing, and finishing instinct once again stood out—traits that defined his early rise in the promotion.

Miado enters this bout with confidence, backed by six career stoppages rooted in crisp striking and explosive timing. The challenge ahead, however, may be his most dangerous since moving up in weight.

Kholmirzaev enters with momentum and firepower

Avazbek Kholmirzaev arrives riding a blistering four-fight win streak and boasting a 14-2 slate with 13 finishes. The 24-year-old Uzbek has built a reputation as a ruthless closer, armed with knockout power and a rapidly improving submission game.

His most recent outing showcased that evolution when he secured a first-round armbar against previously unbeaten South African prospect Willie van Rooyen at ONE Fight Night 37. With youth, confidence, and destructive ability on his side, Kholmirzaev presents a formidable test for Miado’s flyweight momentum.

Miado targets defining moment in new division

For Miado, a victory at ONE Fight Night 38 would mark another major step in solidifying himself as a legitimate contender at 135 pounds. His tools have translated seamlessly into flyweight competition, and another strong showing could push him closer to the upper tier of the division.

The matchup pits Miado’s polished boxing and veteran composure against Kholmirzaev’s finishing aggression, making it one of the evening’s most compelling stylistic clashes. With both fighters carrying momentum into Bangkok, the stakes have never been higher for the Filipino standout.
