Chihiro Sawada, a 28-year-old martial artist from Japan, is gearing up for her atomweight MMA fight against Ayaka 'Zombie' Miura at ONE SAMURAI 1, taking place at the Ariake Arena in Tokyo on April 29. Despite her fierce reputation in the ring, Sawada admits to being completely charmed by her 35-kilogram Weimaraner, Zowie. The 5-year-old dog is known for his affectionate and clingy nature, following Sawada everywhere, even to the bathroom. This unwavering companionship has become a source of motivation for Sawada throughout her training journey. She expressed, 'He takes good care of me, and I feel good when I’m with him.' Zowie is not just a pet but a constant presence at her training facility, where he watches her practice. Sawada humorously acknowledged that she unintentionally named Zowie with a feminine name, but it hasn't affected their bond. As she prepares for her match, she plans to reward Zowie with a big bone if she secures a performance bonus of $50,000.
