Despite her cute looks, Miura has a terrifying nickname, "Zombie", because she shows amazing perseverance in the ring, and when she is knocked down, she will stand up and go forward, like a zombie that can't be defeated. 'I never wanted to give up and I'll go through the toughest moments of the game. Miura's perseverance will soon be put to the test as she challenges Xiong Jingnan, the "panda" who has ruled the grassweight for 1455 days, in the "ONE: Strike Hard" headline main tournament on January 14.
Xiong Jingnan is the only world champion from China, she defeated the "gladiators" Laura Bahrain, Samara Santos, "unstoppable" Li Shengzhu, "Soul Crusher" Zhang Huiwen, eight-time jiu-jitsu world champion Michel Nickellini with a pair of iron fists, setting a record for five consecutive defending titles, Miura believes that Xiong Jingnan is going downhill, her fist seems to have lost the ability to end KO, in the last two defending battles, Xiong Jingnan has won the game by judgment. On the occasion of the New Year, Miura tweeted a victory on social media Instagram. In 2021, there have been many people who have had fun from mixed martial arts, but please support those who are fighting on the world stage. I will fight in 2 weeks and I am ready to win the World Championship Gold Belt, thank you for your attention! ”
Miura's confidence comes from her judo skills. The judo black belt three-dan woman will rely on her super ground lock skills to play 11 wins, 3 losses and 1 no result, including 7 of which are excellent records of surrender and wins. Her best technique is the American shoulder lock, in addition to the first battle with an arm triangle twist to lower the suit, the other 6 surrenders are all used in the same move - the American shoulder lock. The fastest of the games took her opponents just 73 seconds to concede defeat. It can be said that Miura relied on this trick to successfully enter the fourth position in the grassweight list. She also hopes to use this move to directly win the grassweight world championship gold belt.
However, in the mixed martial arts arena, partial boxers often have a hard time going far, and Miura has lost games because of a single offensive style, but she has learned from it and knows how to deal with different types of opponents. After losing to "Soul Crusher" Zhang Huiwen, Miura adjusted his tactical style. "In order not to lose the game again, I trained harder, improved my physical fitness and became more technically mature. Looking back now, I think it was the failures that inspired me to keep improving, and although it was a tough time, I got better in many ways. I learned how to get closer, how to combine attacks, how to control the rhythm instead of just sprinting. ”
Although Xiong Jingnan is known for his standing boxing skills, he also has good ground defense capabilities, and has defeated jiu-jitsu masters such as Li Shengzhu and Nick Lini, so Miura must bring different techniques to create new history. "Xiong Jingnan is a very strong opponent, and if he doesn't actually fight her, I don't know how good she is." Her boxing moves are good, every time she defends her title, she hits her opponent hard with her fists, and I will find a way to overcome her boxing weapons. Miura believes that her ability to resist blows can withstand Xiong Jingnan's heavy blows, and she believes that her judo wrestling method is also a powerful weapon that Xiong Jingnan has never encountered.
Do you think Miura can beat Xiong Jingnan to become the first female MMA world champion from Japan in the cage?
