Jihin Radzuan
Months after a successful ONE Championship debut at Axiata Arena in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, Jihin “Shadowcat”
Radzuan, 19, is returning to the same venue on July 13, 2018 for her second
bout in the promotion. She will square off with Priscilla “Thathi” Hertati Lumban Gaol, 30, of Jakarta, Indonesia at
“ONE: Pursuit of Power.”
Fighting
out of Johor Bahru, Malaysia, Radzuan is facing a more experienced competitor at “ONE: Pursuit of Power.” However, the Johor Bahru
resident is confident that she will walk away with her hand raised
in triumph.
“I know
she is a good fighter with a good background in martial arts,” Radzuan said of
Gaol. “Plus, she is more experienced than me. But one important key to success
is self-confidence. The trait has always been with me in this journey. I look
at things optimistically.”
Gaol is the only Indonesian contender at “ONE: Pursuit of
Power” while Radzuan has two fellow Malaysian fighters, namely Agilan
“Alligator” Thani, 22, and Keanu Subba, 24. The main event is a welterweight
bout between Thani and Zebaztian “The Bandit” Kadestam, 27, of Sweden.
While
Gaol holds a professional MMA record of 3 wins and 2 losses, Radzuan currently
has 2 wins and 0 loss. For the undefeated contender, their upcoming bout will
be “just another day in the office.”
“I’m
super excited,” Radzuan said. “I am definitely taking home the win in front of
my hometown crowd.”
Aside
from being one of the youngest athletes representing Malaysia in ONE
Championship, Radzuan is also one of the few female Malaysian MMA fighters
competing professionally. She is happy that more and more women like her are
getting into the sport.
“Now, I
see women who are interested in martial arts for self-defense purposes,”
Meanwhile, here is one of Gaol’s previous bouts:
