Jihin Radzuan calls for trilogy fight with Itsuki Hirata

Malaysian MMA fighter Jihin Radzuan has expressed interest in a third bout with Itsuki Hirata following their women’s atomweight rematch at ONE SAMURAI 4 in Tokyo, Japan. The contest, held on October 17 at the Ariake Arena, resulted in a unanimous decision victory for Hirata.

With both fighters now holding one win each in their rivalry, Radzuan acknowledged the need to improve her grappling and sense of urgency. While she felt her striking was effective and believed she landed significant blows, she noted that Hirata’s ability to secure takedowns and control the pace through grappling ultimately swayed the judges.

Radzuan stated, “I don’t really like to fight the same opponent every single time, but let’s do it. Let’s do the trilogy,” signaling her desire to resolve the unfinished business between the two athletes.
