Jeremy Miado falls to Thai opponent in ONE rematch
FILIPINO mixed martial arts fighter Jeremy “The Jaguar” Miado failed to exact his dominance over Dejdamrong Sor Amnuaysirichoke of Thailand as he bowed by way of technical knockout (strikes) in the second round of their rematch at ONE Championship’s “Call to Greatness” event on Friday in Singapore.
Won their first encounter in March last year with an impressive first-round knockout, strawweight Miado did not get the same result the second time around to bow to his fourth defeat in his last six fights.
The match against Dejdamrong, the former ONE Strawweight World Champion, got to an exciting opening round with the two trading ferocious combinations.
In the second round though, it was all Dejdamrong as the Thai legend stuffed a takedown from Mr. Miado and proceeded to unload a barrage of unanswered knees to earn the stoppage victory.
The loss dropped Mr. Miado to a record of 8-4 while Dejdamrong improved to 10-4, winning his last two.
Meanwhile in the main event, Thailand’s Stamp Fairtex became a two-sport ONE world champion as she became the ONE Atomweight Muay Thai champion with a unanimous decision victory over Janet Todd of the United States.
The win was in addition to her Kickboxing World Championship in the promotion.
Next for ONE Championship in “Reign of Valor” in Myanmar on March 8 which will feature the welterweight world title fight between champion Zebastian Kadestam and challenger Georgiy Kichigin. — Michael Angelo S. Murillo
