Jeremy Pacatiw is about to embark on a new chapter in his professional career.

“The Juggernaut” gears up for his debut bout under the Lions Nation MMA banner at ONE Fight Night 21 on Prime Video. This U.S. primetime event emanates live from the iconic Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, on April 5.

There, the Filipino spitfire squares off with Wang Shou in a bantamweight MMA bout.

For Pacatiw, this fight presents a golden opportunity to reaffirm his status as a rising contender in the division.

His last outing in December 2022 saw him secure a second-round submission victory over Tial Thang. This earned him not only a victory but also a $50,000 performance bonus.

Since then, winds of change have swept through Pacatiw. A notable shift occurred as he bid adieu to Team Lakay to join longtime comrades Eduard Folayang, Joshua Pacio, Kevin Belingon, and Honorio Banario at Lions Nation MMA.

This strategic move reflects Pacatiw’s unwavering commitment to his craft and his determination to evolve as a martial artist.

On the opposing side of the ring, Wang enters the fray fueled by a burning desire to bounce back from a previous setback.

He suffered a unanimous decision loss to Tatsumitsu Wada in January 2022. However, the Chinese standout is eager to reclaim his momentum and make a statement against Pacatiw.
