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 made her second ONE appearance against Ekaterina Vandaryeva at ONE Championship: Full Blast on April 28, 2021.[5] She won the fight by majority decision.[6]
Buntan was booked to face 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 Women's Muay Thai Strawweight World Championship at ONE 156: Eersel vs. Sadikovic on April 22, 2022.[9] Despite a strong start to the bout, she lost the fight by unanimous decision.[10][11]
