“This is a different sphere for me” - A more focused Jeremy Pacatiw ready to revamp fighting career

Fifth-ranked ONE bantamweight MMA contender Jeremy Pacatiw of the Philippines is navigating uncharted waters in his personal life.

The Lions Nation MMA affiliate, after all, became a first-time dad last month, after welcoming his son Noah to the world.

Quite frankly, 'The Juggernaut' couldn't be any happier. He couldn't hold his excitement when describing the joy of fatherhood in a ONE Championship interview:

"When our baby [grows], he better be behaved and cooperative (laughs). But in all seriousness, this is a different sphere for me. I can’t describe my excitement because I’m starting my own little family now. Just grateful and excited."

Jeremy Pacatiw has never lacked motivation, and it looks like he'll be even more driven to win after getting some much-needed inspiration.

The 29-year-old will return to action and seek to keep his place in the 145-pound MMA rankings this Friday at ONE Fight Night 34: Eersel vs Jarvis on Prime Video.

This Friday, Pacatiw will seek to give Azerbaijan's Elbek Alyshov a rude welcome in the home of martial arts inside the storied Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.
