Jackie Buntan eager to get back in the ONE circle
Jackie Buntan is a rising star in Muay Thai in the United States with over 20 wins under her belt. She collected three straight victories upon her arrival in ONE Championship and looked on her way to becoming the inaugural ONE women’s strawweight Muay Thai world champion.
She put up a valiant effort in the co-main event of ONE 156 earlier this year, going toe-to-toe with teenage sensation Smilla Sundell through five rounds of action.
Unfortunately, she couldn’t pull off a win, and Sundell was crowned the queen of the division, and the youngest world champion in the history of the promotion.
Buntan’s first loss in the ONE circle has her more motivated than ever to prove her place as a top fighter in the division. She has expressed her desire to return to action real soon under any ONE Super Series ruleset.
