Jeremy Miado banking on one key advantage against Gilbert Nakatani: “I think I’m a lot faster”

Filipino fighter Jeremy Miado returns to action next week against American Gilbert Nakatani and believes his quickness will work to his advantage.

'The Jaguar' battles Nakatani at ONE Fight Night 28: Prajanchai vs. Barboza on Prime Video on Feb. 8 at the Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.

In an interview with Sportskeeda MMA in line with his upcoming match, Jeremy Miado spoke about his mindset come fight night, including how he sees his quickness playing an important factor.

The 32-year-old veteran fighter said:

"I think I’m a lot faster than Gilbert, so I think that would be his weakness against me."

At ONE Fight Night 28, Jeremy Miado is looking to wiggle out of the rough patch he has hit of late. He is coming off a narrow split decision defeat at the hands of Japanese Hiroba Minowa back in July.

Also seeking a bounce-back win is Nakatani, who lost by decision to Yuya Wakamatsu of Japan in his promotional debut last December.

ONE Fight Night 28 is available live and for free at U.S. primetime to North American fans with an active Amazon Prime Video subscription.
