PASAY—Jackie Buntan was successful in her first fight in the Philippines, beating British opponent Amber Kitchen at ONE on Prime Video 5 on Saturday at the SM Mall of Asia Arena.

In a rematch four years in the making, Buntan avenged her defeat to Kitchen in style with a dominant performance highlighted by a knockdown in the third round that seemingly sealed the outcome of the bout.

Buntan earned the nod of all three judges en route to the unanimous decision win as she bounced back from her loss to Smilla Sundell for the ONE women's Muay Thai strawweight title and moved up to 4-1.
