Reigning ONE women’s strawweight kickboxing world champion Jackie Buntan puts her kickboxing gold medal on the line against Stella Hemetsberger of Austria in a high-stakes rematch while Filipino fan-favorite Danny Kingad takes on Hu Yong of China in the ONE Fight Night 40 on 14 February in Bangkok.

Buntan will settle unfinished business with familiar foe Hemetsberger in the main event.

The two first met last September at ONE Fight Night 35, battling for the vacant ONE women’s strawweight Muay Thai world title in a five-round war.

Hemetsberger dropped the 28-year-old Californian twice in the opening round and weathered Buntan’s comeback attempts over the final four frames to claim a unanimous decision victory.

The win made Hemetsberger Austria’s first-ever ONE world champion while denying Buntan’s bid to become just the third woman to capture titles in both kickboxing and Muay Thai.

Now the Boxing Works product gets her chance at revenge, determined to protect her kickboxing crown from the woman who temporarily derailed her two-sport dreams.

Meanwhile, Kingad finally gets his long-awaited showdown with Hu Yong in flyweight mixed martial arts (MMA) action.

The two were originally scheduled to clash at ONE Fight Night 15 in 2023, but the 30-year-old withdrew due to a foot injury.

The Lions Nation MMA stalwart started his ONE career with a brilliant 9-1 run that included wins over current ONE Flyweight MMA world champion Yuya Wakamatsu and former world title challenger Tatsumitsu Wada.

However, recent form has been unkind to the Filipino veteran, who dropped back-to-back defeats to Wakamatsu and Adriano Moraes.
