"I'm going to do the same things" - Natalia Diachkova plans to be at her explosive best in ONE Fight Night 22 headliner

Upcoming ONE strawweight Muay Thai world title challenger Natalia Diachkova is sticking to her bread and butter for her upcoming showdown with Smilla Sundell.

The pair will throw down as the main attraction of the ONE Fight Night 22 card on May 3, which goes down inside the legendary Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.

Diachkova shared during her pre-fight interview with Sportskeeda MMA:

"I'm feeling great, I'm feeling great about the fight. There are no problems. Just looking forward to the fight. I'm going to do the same things, and hopefully, I can keep up my winning streak as well."

See the full interview below:

'Karelian Lynx' is the only one eligible fighter to win the 26-pound golden belt since 'The Hurricane' failed to make weight and was stripped of her world title during the weigh-ins.

This turn of events is a double-edged sword for Natalia Diachkova because it could add or minimize pressure on her as the showdown inches closer.

She plans to use her four-fight win streak to her advantage, with her most recent victory coming against the expense of Chellina Chirino in March at ONE Friday Fights 55, where she scored a first-round knockout win.
