2024 was an unforgettable campaign for Buntan as she started the year with a unanimous decision win over four-time ISKA kickboxing champion Martine Michieletto in March. Then in November, she delivered her best all-around performance yet to capture the inaugural ONE women's strawweight kickboxing world championship over the legendary Anissa Meksen.

Including her first-round TKO of Diandra Martin in May 2023 and a bell-to-bell masterclass against Amber Kitchen in December 2022, the Boxing Works product is currently on a four-fight winning streak.

Jackie Buntan sheds light on her fighting style

Jackie Buntan produces a whirlwind of chaos every time she steps into the circle, but there is a method and name behind the madness. She explained how she came to be a Muay Femur fighter in an interview with Val Dewar of DeWar Report:

​

"Man, you know, I studied fights, but I never had someone that I truly wanted to emulate. I think just starting this at a young age, you're kind of able to find what works for you and what feels comfortable for you. But I do know, when I was a lot younger in the sport I really, really loved, like, the beauty of it, the technique of it. So any fighter who showcased that. They call it Muay Femur, like technical style, I love."
