'The Hurricane' said:

'The Hurricane' Smilla Sundell returns to defend strawweight Muay Thai gold against Natalia Diachkova at ONE Fight Night 22

The main event of ONE Fight Night 22 on Prime Video will see the return of ONE women's strawweight Muay Thai world champion 'The Hurricane' Smilla Sundell, who will defend her strap against rising star 'Karelian Lynx' Natalia Diachkova.

The event broadcasts live from the iconic Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, on Friday, May 3rd, U.S. primetime.

At just 19 years of age, Sundell is one of the most dominant world champions in women's Muay Thai. The towering Swedish fighter has proven to be a problem for any and all opponents who have stepped into the ring with her.

'The Hurricane' has so far remained unbeaten in the world's largest martial arts organization and is an undeniable force to be reckoned with.

Meanwhile, Diachkova joins the ONE Championship main roster on the heels of four epic performances at ONE Friday Fights. Three of those wins have come by stoppage.

Fans in the United States and Canada can catch the action live and absolutely free on Amazon Prime Video.
