Handout/ONE Championship</div>MANILA -- Team Lakay head coach Mark Sangiao expects his son, Jhanlo Mark, to be more mature and focused when he makes his return to ONE Championship next month.The second generation fighter will be back in action at ONE Fight Night 33 on July 12, where he will be up against Mongolia&#x27;s Shinechagtga Zoltsetseg at the Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.There, Jhanlo Mark will be gunning for a bounce-back win after suffering his first career defeat in August 2023 at the hands of another Mongolian fighter, #4-ranked Enkh-Orgil Baatarkhuu.<div><a class="fr-green fr-strong" href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/sports/othersports/2025/6/2/mma-jhanlo-mark-sangiao-eyes-bounce-back-win-vs-mongolian-foe-1738">READ: Jhanlo Mark Sangiao eyes bounce-back win vs Mongolian foe</a></div>According to the elder Sangiao, he has seen how much his son has learned since that bout.&quot;The change I saw in him since that loss is his mindset. He himself admitted it, back then he thought he could coast through opponents and beat them handily. I think he learned the hard way,&quot; Sangiao said. &quot;Now he&#x27;s seeing what it takes to be a professional. He&#x27;s facing professional fighters now, he&#x27;s facing world-class fighters here now. &quot;He now understands there&#x27;s a huge difference between the fighters he was facing back then to the ones he&#x27;s facing right now.&quot;While he is pleased with the changes in his son&#x27;s training habits, Coach Mark wants to see those adjustments translate in the ring. In particular, he wants to see how much Jhanlo Mark has improved in terms of his maturity and composure.&quot;When it comes to the fight itself, it&#x27;s more on the composure side of things. There are times when he still gets a little too eager in wanting to finish the fight,&quot; he said. &quot;He was so used to finishing fights quickly in the local circuit, now you have to work for it if you want to finish a fight. The level&#x27;s so high right now you can&#x27;t finish them that easily.&quot; While seeing his son lose for the first time is tough, Sangiao is grateful for the lessons, knowing this is exactly what Jhanlo needed. &quot;Either we win or we learn right?&quot; Sangiao said. &quot;And he got a big lesson from that fight. I remember Enkh-Orgil talking to him after the fight and he was telling him, &#x27;you&#x27;re still young.&#x27; That only goes to show how he can go a long way if he takes things to the next level.&quot;
