Filipina-American striking sensation Jackie Buntan is one of the most talented women Muay Thai fighters in ONE Championship. The 25-year-old from California is a former ONE world title challenger who definitely has a promising future ahead of her.
Buntan is lightning-fast, intelligent, and incredibly powerful. However, she often comes into her fights smaller than her opponents.
To combat this, Buntan makes it a point to let her opponents come to her, which is why she is so exceptional as a counter-striker. Against her next opponent, however, Buntan wants to try and change things up and move toward closing the distance. This will allow her to put some work inside the clinch, where she is just as dangerous.
In a recent interview with ONE Championship, Buntan gave fans a glimpse of the kind of game plan she will bring into the Circle for her next fight.
