Martial arts career
Buntan made her ONE Championship debut against Wondergirl Fairtex at ONE Championship: Fists Of Fury on February 26, 2021.[2] She won the fight by unanimous decision. Buntan scored the sole knockdown of the fight in the opening seconds of the first round, as she dropped Wondergirl with a left hook.[3] It was later revealed that Wondergirl had suffered two facial fractures and double vision as result of that knockdown.[4]
Buntan faced Ekaterina Vandaryeva at ONE Championship: Full Blast on April 28, 2021.[5] She won the fight by majority decision.[6]
Buntan faced Daniela López at ONE Championship: Empower on September 3, 2021.[7] She won the fight by unanimous decision.[8]
Her three-fight winning streak under the ONE banner earned Buntan the chance to fight Smilla Sundell for the inaugural ONE Women's Strawweight Muay Thai World Championship at ONE 156 on April 22, 2022.[9] Despite a strong start to the bout, she lost the fight by unanimous decision.[10][11]
Buntan is scheduled to face Amber Kitchen on December 3, 2022, at ONE on Prime Video 5.[12]
