Based on their first encounter, Jackie Buntan's theory is absolutely accurate.

The pair lit up the ring inside the Lumpinee Stadium in their main event tilt at ONE Friday Fights 46 in December last year.

Tawanchai bagged the victory by a majority decision, but Superbon put up a fight and came close to stunning the divisional king inside the Mecca of Muay Thai.


Jackie Buntan happy to face anyone in first world title defense

With gold wrapped around her waist, Jackie Buntan knows there are a long list of challengers that want to unseat her from her spot atop the throne.

The Filipino-American superstar, however, does not have any qualms about who she draws next. In the same interview, she continued:

"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 dont know, that's up to the company. But yeah, next year, I want to be busy."
