A pivotal women’s strawweight Muay Thai bout featuring Jackie Buntan and Diandra Martin has been added to ONE Championship’s upcoming on-site debut on United States soil.
ONE Fight Night 10: Johnson vs. Moraes III, which will take place inside the 1stBank Center in Broomfield, Colorado, on May 5, will host two of the fastest-rising female strikers in the world. The fight will serve as a homecoming for the Filipino-American Buntan, who trains out of the Boxing Works Gym in Lawndale, California.
The 25-year-old has gone 4-1 in her first five appearances in the circle, with her lone setback coming at the hands of Smilla Sundell in their showdown for the inaugural ONE strawweight Muay Thai world title last year.
Buntan holds notable victories over Ekaterina Vandaryeva, Nat Jaroonsak, and Daniela Lopez, which led to her world title opportunity. After her failed bid for the division’s gold, she returned to the winner’s circle at ONE on Prime Video 5 last December, recording a dominant unanimous decision victory over Amber Kitchen inside the Mall of Asia Arena in Manila, Philippines.
She also appeared as a guest coach in the promotion’s hit reality show, ONE Warrior Series: Philippines.
A big win over a tough opponent like Martin could solidify Buntan’s case for a rematch against the Swedish phenom. Martin, though, is also eyeing a second crack at Sundell after suffering a TKO loss in her promotional debut back at ONE: Full Circle.
Coincidentally, she also bounced back against Kitchen at ONE on Prime Video 1 last year. The Australian appeared much more comfortable in her sophomore outing inside the Circle, showcasing her world-class skills on the feet.
The lanky fighter used her incredible length to surgically crack Kitchen with punch combinations and devastating kicks, en-route to a convincing unanimous decision win.
