Smilla Sundell and Natalia Diachkova just clashed in the main event of ONE Fight Night 22 in Bangkok, Thailand.
Diachkova started the fight at a high pace and did a good job closing the distance. The Russian showed proof of her fast and heavy hands as she damaged the Swede’s left eye.
In the second round, Sundell took over more and more. Just before the bell, she landed a solid punch to the liver and followed up with relentless strikes to the head until the referee stepped in to stop the fight.
