Filipina-American striking star and former ONE world title challenger Jackie Buntan wants to impress the fans and throw 'C18' Anissa Meksen off her game by coming into the world title showdown with a new fighting style.
As a Muay Thai fighter, Buntan was relentless with her offense, often pressing forward in attack mode against even the most dangerous of opponents. But transitioning to kickboxing for her next match, the 27-year-old says she's ready to offer a fresh look to her technique.
Speaking to Sportskeeda MMA in an exclusive interview, Buntan says she can't wait to show fans what she has been cooking up.

The Boxing Works representative stated:
"What I’m able to do, I’m able to process that quickly and change it in the middle of the fight. But it’s kinda like my style, plus a different cadence, a different look that all the fans will see come fight night."
Needless to say, fans are expecting nothing short of another electric performance from the Filipina-American star, and Buntan is ready to deliver.
Against Meksen, however, it may not be that simple. The decorated kickboxing world champion has ice in her veins and smells the ONE Championship gold not too far away.
