She may have already won a world title before she turned 20, but Smilla Sundell maintains she's still adding to her already glorious portfolio in ONE Championship.
The former ONE women's strawweight Muay Thai world champion is determined to reclaim the throne she lost on the scales, but she's also keen on branching out and facing off against one of the sport's icons.
In an interview with Sportskeeda MMA, Sundell said she'd love to face the inaugural and reigning ONE women's strawweight MMA world champion Xiong Jing Nan.
The 19-year-old added that she would love to face Xiong in a mixed-rules bout and possibly test her evolved arsenal against the Chinese legend.

Sundell has no professional MMA experience yet, but she's a perfect 5-0 in her Muay Thai and kickboxing matches in ONE Championship.
Despite losing her world title on the scale ahead of ONE Fight Night 22, Sundell put on an inspiring performance against Natalia Diachkova and secured a huge second-round knockout against the Russian slugger earlier this month.
Xiong, meanwhile, is practically indestructible at strawweight.
'The Panda' became the inaugural ONE women's strawweight MMA world champion when she beat Tiffany Teo at ONE: Kings of Courage.
She has since gone 7-0 in her world title defenses, with wins over Angela Lee, Teo, Ayaka Miura, Michelle Nicolini, Samara Santos, and Laura Balin.
