Hirata Seeks Redemption Against Radzuan At ONE SAMURAI 4

Itsuki Hirata gets a second crack at Jihin Radzuan when the pair headline ONE SAMURAI 4 in Tokyo on October 17, according to BJPenn.com, with the vacant atomweight title now within reach of whoever wins.

Radzuan pulled off a split-decision upset over Hirata at ONE X in 2022, derailing the Japanese fighter's perfect promotional start with clever escapes and sharp timing. Hirata entered that bout 4-0 under the ONE banner and has since rebuilt her record to 8-5 with a submission finish of Ritu Phogat among two wins in her last three outings.

Radzuan Carries Nine ONE Wins Into Tokyo Rematch

Radzuan brings a 10-5 record and nine promotional victories into the rematch, including a third-round stoppage of previously undefeated Gabriela Fujimoto in February. The Fairtex and Foxgloves representative has also beaten former title challenger Mei Yamaguchi and went the distance with former champion Denice Zamboanga and three-division queen Stamp Fairtex. She dropped a split decision to Anastasia Nikolakakos in July and will look to reassert herself in a rivalry she has already won once.

A definitive win would place either woman directly in line for the vacant ONE atomweight strap and settle unfinished business from their first meeting three years ago. The bout streams live from Ariake Arena and tops a card built around regional fan favorites.
