Filipina-American striking star and former ONE world title challenger Jackie Buntan is getting herself prepped and ready to square off with women's kickboxing icon 'C18' Anissa Meksen.
But despite Meksen's previous beef with Buntan's teammate Janet Todd over the past few years, the 27-year-old California resident says none of that emotion will make it into the ring.
Buntan is ready to put on a clinic and take home the ONE Championship gold, and that's that.
Speaking to Sportskeeda MMA in an exclusive interview, Buntan says she's all business heading into the Meksen showdown.

Jackie Buntan studied Anissa Meksen's loss to Phetjeeja and found fault: "I saw a lot of weaknesses"
Jackie Buntan believes she may have discovered the holes in Anissa Meksen's performance against Phetjeeja last year that could propel her to victory at ONE 169 on Prime Video.
Studying that fight carefully, Buntan was hardly impressed by what she saw from her Algerian-French opponent.
The 27-year-old told Sportskeeda MMA:
"Yeah, I definitely watched that fight given it was her last fight too, her most recent one. Yeah, I saw a lot of strengths on Phetjeeja’s end and I saw a lot of weaknesses on Anissa’s end. I also have an idea of how Anissa moves, kind of her thought process behind her movement."
