MANILA, Philippines — Filipino-American fighter Jackie Buntan emerged victorious in her first fight on US soil as she scored a first round TKO win over Australian Diandra Martin in their catchweight Muay Thai bout at ONE Fight Night 10: Johnson vs Moraes III at the 1stBank Center in Denver, Colorado on Friday (Saturday, Manila time).
Buntan backed Martin to the cage wall and disposed of her opponent at the 2:34 mark of the opening round with a body-head combo that sent Martin down to the canvas.
Though the Aussie managed to get back on her feet, she was too staggered to continue on, forcing the referee to stop the fight and declare the quick victory for Buntan.
