Jihin “Shadow Cat” Radzuan returned to the win column in emphatic fashion. The Malaysian sensation finished undefeated promotional newcomer Gabriela Fujimoto via ground-and-pound at the 3:36 mark of the third stanza in their women’s atomweight MMA clash.

The 27-year-old Johor Bahru native set the tone early, as she tagged Fujimoto with crisp punches, stuffed a takedown, and then unloaded knees to her rival’s head. But the Brazilian, who turns 23 years old on this day, had moments of success. She used her BJJ expertise to reverse positions in a scramble and hunt for leg locks in the waning minutes of the opening frame.

Fujimoto came out aggressively in the final frame, swinging hard and fast, but the Malaysian answered with a takedown. After scrambling back and forth for position, Jihin secured the mount and unleashed a devastating barrage of punches and elbows that forced the referee to wave off the contest.

With the victory, Jihin improved her professional record to 10-5 and, in the process, handed Fujimoto her first career defeat and spoiled her big birthday celebration.
