Jeremy “The Jaguar” Miado now knows the mountain that he has to climb if he wants to achieve his dream in ONE Championship.
Missing out on the top five of the strawweight division, the Marikina City native is even more motivated to do better as he vows to make more waves in the weight class once action resume in The Home Of Martial Arts.
“Looking at it, now I see where I stand in the division and I believe this will only push athletes to be better and try to break into the rankings, so we’ll be closer to our dream of fighting for the title,” Miado said.
“I have no problem with the rankings. I believe they deserve the position they are in. I know I came off a big win but it only proved that I need more of those in order to break into the rankings.”
Coming off a thunderous knockout win over Miao Li Tao at ONE: AGE OF DRAGONS, Miado is using the time off now to maximize his time with his partner Chesla and son Tobiko.
But once given the green light to hold training sessions again, the 27-year-old plans to hit the ground running.
“I attribute that win to a long and tedious training camp. I want a fitting follow up to that win and hopefully I can repeat what I did and make some noise in the rankings,” Miado shared.
“For my next fights, expect me to go all out. I’d strengthen every aspect of my game and pick up everything that I know will help me for my future matches.”
It is not going to be easy for Miado, given the depth of his division but he knows that those men at the top reached their destination through hard work.
He plans to do the same and then some.
“The ones in there are the perfect example that if you do things right, you’ll reach a long way,” Miado stated.
“It’s all about hard work, discipline and perseverance. I have a lot of dreams as an athlete, and I plan to reach it through the same formula that they had. I just have to focus everyday and put out jaw-dropping performances.”
