Japanese veteran Mei Yamaguchi has agreed to step in on short notice and fight Jihin Radzuan at ONE Championship’s Bad Blood event on February 11 in Singapore.
A source told the Post that 38-year-old Yamaguchi (21-13-1) will replace Jenelyn Olsim for the main card bout at Singapore Indoor Stadium.
Filipino Team Lakay fighter Olsim (5-3) was forced to withdraw from the atomweight fight through injury, the source said.
“Okay sure let’s do it,” Yamaguchi wrote in a cryptic Instagram post on Wednesday, alongside a video of herself training and a winking emoji.

The former two-time title challenger is coming off a unanimous decision defeat by Brazil’s Julie Mezabarba in an atomweight grand prix alternate bout last September.
Malaysia’s Radzuan (8-2) last fought in a decision over “Killer Bee” Bi Nguyen in December 2020.

ONE: Bad Blood will be headlined by a bantamweight title fight between Brazilian champion Bibiano Fernandes and his compatriot John Lineker.
The co-main event sees the interim heavyweight title up for grabs between Anatoly Malykin and Kirill Grishenko.
Nguyen is also set to return on the 13-fight card, in an atomweight bout against China’s Lin Heqin.
