17-year-old Smilla Sundell became ONE’s youngest World Champion when she claimed the inaugural ONE Women’s Strawweight Muay Thai World Championship against Jackie Buntan. The American showed her power early, but Sundell quickly began utilizing her length to keep her opponent at bay. Buntan never was allowed back inside to score with heavy strikes, while the teenage star routinely scored with an array of strikes en route to a clear unanimous decision win.

American Jarred Brooks continues to back up all of his talk inside the Circle. In a strawweight title eliminator, Brooks quickly took the back of Bokang Masunyane and choked him unconscious with a rear-naked choke. The swift victory earned him a date against Joshua Pacio later in 2022.

Liam Harrison and Muangthai PK.Saenchai put on one of the most memorable one-round bouts in history when they combined for five knockdowns in 90 seconds. After back-to-back knockdowns from Muangthai, Harrison fired back immediately and rocked the Thai star. Seeing his opponent clearly dazed, Harrison turned up his pressure for two more knockdowns to earn the TKO victory.

Pound-for-pound great Anissa Meksen continued her show of dominance with a sterling showcase against Marie Ruumet. “Snow Leopard” displayed her toughness to survive all three rounds, but the bout was never in doubt as Meksen’s speed and power were too much for the youngster.

South Korea continues to shine on the global stage as Song Min Jong and Jin Tae Ho both picked up submission wins in their respective bouts. The country has been on fire with its athletes lately, and the latest two victories show that the martial arts spirit is only growing with its exceptional stars delivering on a massive stage.

In a submission grappling showcase, Mikey Musumeci wowed the global audience with a slick back take and crushing rear-naked choke to make Japanese legend Masakazu Imanari tap out. The exciting matchup showed why he is one of the world's top-ranked submission aces.
