When ONE Championship makes its long-awaited return to Singapore Indoor Stadium on September 29, fans won’t want to miss any of the action, as some of the most recognizable names in women’s combat sports will be competing in a number of high-stakes bouts. Smilla Sundell, a young prodigy, will make a comeback appearance to defend her strawweight Muay Thai championship later in the evening in the co-main event of the evening.
At first, Sundell was going to rematch Jackie Buntan in the fight that was originally set for April 202.
