Jeremy Pacatiw returns to action at ONE Fight Night 34

Jeremy Pacatiw of Lions Nation MMA is set to see action for the second time this year when he takes on the unbeaten Russian Elbek Alyshov on the undercard of ONE Fight Night 34 on August 2 at Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.

Pacatiw, rated as the no.5 bantamweight in the world, is coming off a unanimous decision loss at the hands of Enkh-Orgil Baatarkhuu last March. Raring to keep his spot in the ratings and prove his worth, Pacatiw says his next fight would be another step towards his world championship dream.

"I'm excited for my quick return to the ONE Championship stage. Things didn't go in our favor the last time out, but that doesn't stop me from fighting for my goals and dreams," Pacatiw said in a statement.

Alyshov, meanwhile, is slated to make his ONE Championship debut with a perfect mixed martial arts record of 8-0. The Russian has won seven of his fights by either submission or stoppage, and Pacatiw knows too well that he needs to step up to emerge victorious.

"I'm gonna be better. I'm gonna come in hungry and determined to get that victory," Pacatiw quipped.
