Jeremy Pacatiw returns to action at ONE Fight Night 28

Hard-hitting bantamweight Jeremy Pacatiw of Lions Nation MMA will return to action after almost a year when he takes on Ibrahim Dauev on the undercard of ONE Fight Night 28 on February 8 at Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.

Pacatiw, 13-5 as a professional mixed martial artist, is coming off a first-round submission over Wang Shuo last April. A soon-to-be father, Pacatiw's excitement is off the charts as he aims to fight harder than ever for his growing family.

"I’m incredibly excited to step back into the circle this February. This fight is especially meaningful to me because my wife and I are expecting our first child soon," said Pacatiw.

"Knowing that I’ll be fighting not just for myself but for my growing family has given me more motivation than ever."

Currently 3-1 under the ONE Championship banner, Pacatiw would register his third straight win in the promotion should he triumph over Dauev. For Pacatiw, his upcoming bout has fireworks written all over it.

"I want to secure this win and make it a moment we’ll always remember," he quipped.

"I’m coming in stronger, more focused, and ready to give it my all. This will be a fight to remember."
