"In terms of opponents, I don't even know. I said it last year, in the strawweight division for Muay Thai, it's been kind of random. I definitely am the most active strawweight athlete in the roster. That's a fact. So in terms of whoever's worthy of another title shot, I don't know that's up to the company, but yeah, next year, I want to be busy."
Buntan is fresh off a unanimous decision victory over French-Algerian kickboxing icon 'C18' Anissa Meksen at ONE 169: Malykhin vs. Reug Reug on Prime Video. The event was broadcast live from the historic Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand on Nov 9.
Fans in the United States and Canada can catch all the action of the event via replay on-demand with an active Amazon Prime Video subscription.

She told DeWar Report:
"You know, training takes up so much of your life, but I do have, for a long time, I've been able to have a good balance of athlete life and my life outside of that. But, yeah, I tend to be a homebody. I'm here at home with my boyfriend, and my dog. I live close to the beach, so we're biking at the beach, doing walks at the beach, and going to the beach. I'm a big foodie, going out to eat at different restaurants with my friends."
