The technical prowess of Filipino-American star Jackie Buntan was on full display when she fought Daniela Lopez in September 2021 at ONE: Empower, which went down inside the Singapore Indoor Stadium.
One of the best moments of Buntan during the bout was recently reposted by ONE Championship on Instagram, and they wrote the video's caption with:
"Counter game! 🎮 Who's hyped for Jackie Buntan's epic ONE World Title clash with Anissa Meksen at ONE 169? @jackiebuntan"

Jackie Buntan says that her older sisters have influenced her taste in music
The 27-year-old is now preparing for her upcoming ONE strawweight kickboxing world title match against Anissa Meksen on Nov. 8 at ONE 169, which will happen inside the legendary Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.
In a recent interview with Sportskeeda MMA before that championship showdown, she revealed that her older siblings were a big influence on her taste in music, as she explained:
"I think I'm the youngest of three older sisters, and when you're the youngest and all girls, you kinda wanna get into the things they're into. My older sisters and I when we were younger were super into RnB, hip-hop, and all that stuff. All those things stuck with me and resonated with me when I turned into an adult and definitely influenced my music taste."
