Jackie Buntan wants to represent American Muay Thai at ONE Fight Night 10

Jackie Buntan plans to put on a show and make her home country proud when she returns to the Circle on May 5.

Buntan, the lone representative of American Muay Thai at ONE Fight Night 10 on Prime Video, will look to make it two in a row when she squares off with Australia’s striking standout Diandra Martin.

Before she heads to the 1stBank Center in Colorado, Buntan spoke with ONE Championship about the importance of representing her country at the historic event.

“Of course, I want to perform not only for myself, but I’m the only U.S. athlete representing Muay Thai on this show, here on home soil,” Buntan said.

Jackie Buntan stormed into the Circle in 2021, earning three-straight victories before the end of the year, besting Nat ‘Wondergirl’ Jaroonsak, Belarusian beauty Ekaterina Vandaryeva, and Daniela Lopez. She suffered her first setback under the ONE Championship banner against teenage Muay Thai prodigy Smilla Sundell at ONE 156, but she quickly bounced back with a unanimous decision win over Amber Kitchen.

Buntan goes into the bout with twice as much experience in combat sports as Diandra Martin, but it would be a big mistake to count out the Aussie striker as she looks to make a statement on her biggest stage yet.

Janet Todd is backing teammate Jackie Buntan to get the W at ONE Fight Night 10

Reigning ONE atomweight kickboxing world champion Janet Todd believes her teammate and friend Jackie Buntan will come out on top when she returns to the Circle against Diandra Martin on May 5 at the 1stBank Center in Colorado.

“Jackie's always fought all our girls and used her footwork to her advantage to make them miss and pay,’ Todd said. “So I believe she can do the same thing, use her footwork to get her into optimal position so that she can use her hands. She has a lot of power in those hooks in her hands. I'm sure she'll get to the positions she needs to be on top of the strikes.”

Janet Todd stepped back inside the Circle last month, coming up short in her bid to become the undisputed ONE atomweight Muay Thai world champion. Before she plots her return later this year, ‘JT’ is lending a helping hand to Jackie Buntan as her fellow American hopes to make her country proud next month when the promotion makes their highly anticipated North American debut.
