“I’ve Never Seen Something Like This Before” – Wondergirl Applauds ONE Championship’s Effort to Push Women’s Combat Sports to the Main Event Status

Thai sensation Nat “Wondergirl” Jaroonsak will soon return to the Singapore Indoor Stadium to compete under the bright lights of ONE Championship and its massive global platform.

That fight will be the first of four massive women’s martial arts bouts on ONE Fight Night 14: Stamp vs. Ham on Prime Video–a blockbuster event topped by a trio of ONE Women’s World Title contests. For “Wondergirl,” competing in the world’s largest martial arts organization and being one of its biggest superstars is a dream come true.

But this reality didn’t always seem possible. She recalls a time–when she was just an aspiring young fighter – that professional women’s Muay Thai was essentially an afterthought. She explained: “Back then, only men could get to the top and earn money or a World Title. Now, women can do that too. In ONE Championship, there are many female Muay Thai and kickboxing fighters. This is good for us.”

Obviously, times have changed, and the female-led ONE Fight Night 14 is clear evidence of that change. Joining “Wondergirl” and Xiong on the card are international superstars like three-sport standout Stamp Fairtex, submission grappling phenoms Danielle Kelly and Jessa Khan, and teenage Muay Thai prodigy Smilla ‘The Hurricane’ Sundell.

With these women warriors set to take center stage and capture the attention of the global martial arts community, Jaroonsak feels a real sense of pride to be fighting under the ONE Championship banner.

She added: “I grew up with Muay Thai. Female fighters didn’t really get that much attention from the [fight] community or the audience. They always put the girl fights at the beginning of the shows, or the last one [after the main event]. “I feel really happy that ONE makes the female fighters as important as the men. It’s great to see this development. I’ve never seen something like this before in my whole career.”
