Malaysian martial artist Jihin Radzuan expects to be pitted against top atomweight contender Ham Seo Hee at some point in ONE Championship. It is something she is looking forward to and expressed readiness for.
'Shadow Cat' made this known in an interview with the South China Morning Post ahead of her scheduled return to action at ONE Fight Night 25 on Oct. 4 in Bangkok, Thailand.
26-year-old said:
"She's one of the fighters in my weight category, but I believe that ONE will match me up with her. It's a good matchup, I think. She has a lot of experience. Being in the ring is not always about fighting, it's about learning. You'll know what your weaknesses are and learn from it. So yeah, I think it's a good opportunity."

Jihin Radzuan seeks to bounce back at ONE Fight Night 25
While she has her sights set on a future showdown with Ham Seo Hee, Jihin Radzuan has her focus at the moment on her scheduled return to action at ONE Fight Night 25 on Oct. 4 in Thailand, where she will be seeking for a bounce-back win.
The Malaysian fighter will go up against veteran Japanese fighter Ayaka Miura in an atomweight clash, part of the event happening at the Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok and airing live and for free to North American fans with an active Amazon Prime Video subscription.
Heading into the contest, Jihin Radzuan is coming off a loss by decision to Japanese Chihiro Sawada back in March. It was her second defeat in her last three matches.
Looking to frustrate her is Miura, winner of back-to-back matches, with her most recent victory coming over fellow Japanese fighter Itsuki Hirata in January in Tokyo. Prior to her two-fight ascent, 'Zombie' lost three straight.
