Jackie Buntan and Jihin Radzuan Set to Star in All-Female ONE Fight Night 20

ONE Fight Night 20: Todd vs Phetjeeja on Prime Video will celebrate International Women’s Day with an all-female card that just got bigger with four new additions.

On Friday, March 8, the organization returns to the iconic Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, headlined by two World Title bouts, which will now see three more Muay Thai battles and a thrilling MMA match featuring some of the best female talents on the planet today.

Jackie Buntan’s return fight at ONE Fight Night 20

In atomweight MMA action, Malaysian star Jihin Radzuan will look for back-to-back wins when she takes on Japan’s Chihiro Sawada.

The #5-ranked contender has proven to be a force in the division, having lost only to Stamp Fairtex over her last five bouts. She will be tested when she tries to hold on to her position in the rankings when she takes on the undefeated Shooto Champion.

Sawada made her promotional debut at ONE Friday Fights 5 last year, picking up a submission victory over Sanaz Fayazmanesh. Winning on U.S. primetime against “Shadow Cat” will surely help her make an even bigger splash in the world’s largest martial arts organization.

Meanwhile, the women’s strawweight Muay Thai division will see some movement with a couple of interesting battles. Former World Title challenger Jackie Buntan will be back in action when she takes on Martine Michieletto in a 130-pound catchweight match. Buntan is looking to win her third straight bout and potentially locking another opportunity at ONE gold.

For her part, Michieletto is aiming to follow up her strong debut at ONE Fight Night 11 against Amber Kitchen back in June to prove that she has the tools to be a threat to Smilla Sundell’s reign.

Fights to not miss for the ONE Fight Night 20 event

Another match to watch out for is the return of Belarusian veteran Ekaterina Vandaryeva, who takes on the young Martyna Kiercyznska. “Barbie” has been on the wrong end of heartbreaking decisions throughout her tenure in ONE and will be determined to claim an elusive win against a fiery competitor. It will not be easy against Kiercyznska though, as the Polish fireball showed tremendous heart and skills in defeating Nat “Wondergirl” Jaroonsak on short notice at ONE Fight Night 19.

Finally, an atomweight Muay Thai clash between two skilled competitors will feature former World Title challenger Lara Fernandez taking on Yu Yau Pui. Fernandez is a proven warrior, having already faced two World Champions in Janet Todd and Phetjeeja in just four appearances in ONE. She will be up against another stiff challenge in Hong Kong’s Yu.

The 30-year-old won all five of her appearances at ONE Friday Fights in 2023, and she looks to carry that momentum when she makes her debut on the global stage. All the action from the event will be broadcast live and for free on Prime Video for all Amazon subscribers across North America.
