MANILA, Philippines -- Filipino-American mixed martial artist Jackie Buntan has another chance to become a ONE Fighting Championship titlist as she clashes with Anissa Meksen in July.
Buntan and the French-Algerian Meksen will battle it out for the inaugural ONE strawweight kickboxing world championship at the ONE Fight Night 23 in July.
The 26-year-old Fil-Am fighter is riding a hot streak, coming off three straight wins since 2022.
She won via unanimous decision against Amber Kitchen in December 2022, followed by a technical knockout win over Diandra Martin in 2023, and a decision victory over Martine Micieletto in March.
Now, she gets another crack at a championship.
In April 2022, she fell against Smilla Sundell of Sweden for the ONE strawweight Muay Thai championship.
On the other hand, Meksen is coming off a loss against Phetjeeja Lukjaoporongtom in December last year for the interim atomweight kickboxing belt.
