Former ONE women's strawweight Muay Thai world champion 'The Hurricane' Smilla Sundell of Sweden knew deep down inside that after losing the belt on the scales. There was no way she would concede defeat in the ONE Fight Night 22 main event.
Sundell delivered an exhilarating performance, coming from behind on the scorecards to score a technical knockout victory over hard-hitting Russian 'Karelian Lynx' Natalia Diachkova, with one second remaining in round two.
A body shot smacked Diachkova right in the gut, taking the wind out of her sails as Sundell moved in swiftly for the finish. This was after a dominant showing by 'Karelian Lynx' for the majority of the contest.
