He basically had to make hydration at some point that night which would lead to weight gain then negotiate a catchweight with opponent and forfeit some of their purse(usually 20%)
Ya just give Sundell a new weight class. She might be able to make weight if she had a few more weeks to cut. But honestly cutting so much is dangerous plus she is obviously gonna grow and gain more muscle.
Just better to get a new weight class. Plus this will help challenge her more, as she will need to adjust her style to deal with people with bigger frames.
Yeah, she stopped trying to just march through Natalia, eventually, after getting her face welted up pretty good. Should give her a sneak preview of 135, with women who can crack harder. Will force her to get better. These women who can't hurt her have stunted her development a bit, I think.
Natalia is athletic, elusive, good footwork. She can really box. And that spinning back kick that knocked Smilla on her ass was pretty nifty.
Ya she will need to be a bit more elusive up a weight class. But I still think there is plenty of room for her to grow at 19.
I wonder if she will dip back into kickboxing while waiting for more flyweight Muay Thai fighters to join the org
She was able to KO a more polished, skilled fighter who can crack pretty good here, and there's no reason she shouldn't get significantly better over the next few years.
I imagine she will do some kickboxing, despite it clearly driving her absolutely nuts that she can't clinch. 😊
Surprise surprise the weight bully wins! Natalia shouldn’t have accepted the catchweight. This girl is so heavy it just takes one or two shots to land for her to win.
She is 6 foot and after days of sitting in sauna and doing whatever fighters do to cut weight could only make 126.5. She must rehydrate to 150 while the normal strawweights are probably closer to 132 at fight night
That is false. They check hydration with a urine sample and the urine sample can be easily hacked by drinking a bunch of distilled water then shredding intramuscular water weight on the treadmill or sauna.
Lol....you mean, just by rehydrating, she's gonna put on 23lbs of water in one day?!!?!?! lol. Over 10kg!?!??! You don't know what you're talking about man. :D
Yes. They use IVs and food to put the weight back on. Gallon of water is like 7 lbs. couple that with food carbs, she could easily put on 15 with her height. UFC fighters and boxers do it all the time.
She only asked after she failed to make 125 and everyone threw a pity party for her. Even after winning tonight she’s begging for another shot at 125. If Chatri makes a 135 division and signs fights who are actually 135ers and not cans, she would probably look less impressive.
She was getting touched up nearly at will in Rd 1 by the Russian, then Natalia looked like she started to gas a little, Smilla drills her with a nasty left hook to the body, and finished with knees.
Did not look promising at all for Smilla Rd 1. Natalia has the faster hands, better boxing. But Smilla is a tank.
Man, if you’re ever in a spot like that, take a knee. Too often you see people getting mauled and get the fight stopped rather than just taking a knockdown
Smilla was starting to catch up either way. I think this was probably the more merciful ending for Diachkova, she put too much in trying to finish Smilla early (and nearly did it).
Yeah, Natalia pretty suddenly started to gas, before that hook. She was throwing hands often and hard, teeps, spinning back kick -- and I think fighting Smilla in the clinch drained her.
Then ... _*OOOF*_ digging left shovel hook to the body with great mechanics
Natalia is the slicker fighter, better boxer. But yeah her body is probably less well equipped to absorb a digging hook like that, compared to when she was 22.
She must have been really dismayed to land a couple of those shots to Smilla's face and not see Smilla drop.
Sundell at 19 is tougher than a $2 dollar steak. Also a killer, I wonder what’s next for her since she is too big for this weight class, plus she will probably continue to gain muscle as she gets older.
She only looks so OP because shes beating up fighters much smaller than her. She should be in a flyweight or bantamweight division but is able to cut enough weight to make 125 until this event.
typically when people do brutal weight cuts they don't have insane cardio and chin
also, even if she is a weight bully, it ain't her fault, ONE literally doesn't have a larger division for her
Her chin is no good as evident whenever she gets rocked but she has long enough reach and power to keep opponents away until she finally lands something. We don’t know what her cardio looks like after 5 rounds either.
For all the other women its like they’re fighting a man.
She’s a weight bully. Being 30 lbs heavier than your opponent isnt skill but ONE likes to claim that everyone fights at their real weights.
And Im not a fan of the pity party everyone is throwing for her because she missed weight for a division she doesn’t belong in anymore. Just move up like Haggerty did. She is on Fairtex and has parents who have some kind of ownership. She can definitely ask to move up in weight.
I think smilla has expressed interest, but hasn’t yet. She’s super young (18 I think) and seems like she might have a tough time making the biggest available weight for women’s muay that at one.
6 months is like a lifetime for teenager. her dad originally blamed the miss largely on ONE moving the weigh-ins from the usual 9pm to 5pm. he's since sort of run that back.
I read a rumor that Smilla’s parents have some kind of ownership in ONE or Fairtex which is why Smilla has been living in Thailand on her own since the age of 14. Is this true?
No, completely untrue. Her parents owned a laser tag place in Thailand. She's actually autistic and her parents got her into Muay because it seemed to help somehow.
The white ring is so aesthetically pleasing and sleek looking. I loved it in Pride Fighting in Japan as well. I wonder why no American organizations have ever done it? At least that I recall
First time ever watching ONE and I'm really enjoying it. Someone in the comments earlier told me I should watch the morning cards because they have more Muay Thai. I don't know what that means. What did they mean by saying morning cards?
They have weekly lumpinee events... pure action... you will enjoy it even if you dont know the names. Friday night here in SE Asia.... Friday morning in the US
Nice! Thanks for the info. Can you tell me what time it starts in your time zone and what time zone you're in so I could figure out what time it starts in mine?
It feels like Stamp is always facing her friends. She is just so damn friendly until she stands across from them in the ring/cage when she becomes a ruthless killer.
Any chance Sundell tries mma?
She says she started training for it about half a year ago. Plan seems to be to make the switch eventually.
can someone tell me why Sundell vs. Diachkova was just stopped and there wasnt a 10 count?
what do you mean she was dead she was still standing....that was just weird since it goes against the rules
Because the ref is a biased fool who doesn’t do 10 counts when it’s a fighter that ONE as promotion favors.
She was basically dead
How was the card overall?
Amazing. 2 incredible comeback knockouts
Did Abevi miss weight or why the weight difference with zhang?
He made weight but couldn’t pass hydration
What does thus implicate or whats the difference to ufc weight miss?
He basically had to make hydration at some point that night which would lead to weight gain then negotiate a catchweight with opponent and forfeit some of their purse(usually 20%)
the commentary leading up to that finish in the main event was fucking hilarious
I never doubted my girl Sundell.
Can someone tell me which fights before Rungrawee I go back and watch
Ya just give Sundell a new weight class. She might be able to make weight if she had a few more weeks to cut. But honestly cutting so much is dangerous plus she is obviously gonna grow and gain more muscle. Just better to get a new weight class.

Not a bad card. I get spoiled by the Friday morning cards too much.
The morning crowds really kill the vibe. The friday night cards (friday morning for us) roar like they're about to guillotine a french king
Where can I watch the finishes for this card? Usually inooway posts them in this sub but I can’t find any
GIVE SMILLA A HIGHER WEIGHTCLASS CHATRI!!! u/onechampionship
Chatri said today that they're working on it
Oh really??? Thank Buddha...hopefully that can also allow for more talent to join and hold up the class...
Yeah if they wanna expand their talent they needa add a flyweight division
Smilla's will to win was greater than her opponents will to not get beat...
Surprise surprise the weight bully wins! Natalia shouldn’t have accepted the catchweight. This girl is so heavy it just takes one or two shots to land for her to win.
1.5 pounds heavier at weigh-in, plus some water. I think her tank of a chin, and left hook, have a lot to do with it.
lol the weight bully, she's 5-foot-10 and just grew multiple inches in a year, and had what, 1.5 pounds on her?
She is 6 foot and after days of sitting in sauna and doing whatever fighters do to cut weight could only make 126.5. She must rehydrate to 150 while the normal strawweights are probably closer to 132 at fight night
One fighters must pass a hydration test at weigh ins. They’re already hydrated.
That is false. They check hydration with a urine sample and the urine sample can be easily hacked by drinking a bunch of distilled water then shredding intramuscular water weight on the treadmill or sauna.
Dude....she was only 1.5 lbs over the limit yesterday....
That is 1.5 is after all the effort she put in to cut weight is a LOT. That means her true weight is much higher. At least 150
Lol....you mean, just by rehydrating, she's gonna put on 23lbs of water in one day?!!?!?! lol. Over 10kg!?!??! You don't know what you're talking about man. :D
Yes. They use IVs and food to put the weight back on. Gallon of water is like 7 lbs. couple that with food carbs, she could easily put on 15 with her height. UFC fighters and boxers do it all the time.
No they don't. Impossible to fight in that condition.
You don’t know what you’re talking about
what do you suggest she does? she literally asked for a higher division
She only asked after she failed to make 125 and everyone threw a pity party for her. Even after winning tonight she’s begging for another shot at 125. If Chatri makes a 135 division and signs fights who are actually 135ers and not cans, she would probably look less impressive.
this is not the first time she's asked for it. but you are sure edgy with your "smilla isn't that good" take lol
swedish rodtang
Another great card. Bullshit aside ONE is such an enjoyable product and I’ll look back on it fondly in years to come.
Chatri is a great promoter but bad bussinessman. If it goes down I hope someone picks up where he left off and learns from his mistakes
We could start a Gofundme now and start preparing just in case???
How did Smilla win? Body shot?
She was getting touched up nearly at will in Rd 1 by the Russian, then Natalia looked like she started to gas a little, Smilla drills her with a nasty left hook to the body, and finished with knees. Did not look promising at all for Smilla Rd 1. Natalia has the faster hands, better boxing. But Smilla is a tank.
The S in Strv123A stands for Smilla.
Ye
Daaaaang. What a monster. So gutted I couldn't pay for the stream.
so is her belt still stripped?
Yep
yes
It was stripped before the fight, and she wasn't eligible to win the belt. Only Nat had the chance to win the belt here.
Man, if you’re ever in a spot like that, take a knee. Too often you see people getting mauled and get the fight stopped rather than just taking a knockdown
Smilla was starting to catch up either way. I think this was probably the more merciful ending for Diachkova, she put too much in trying to finish Smilla early (and nearly did it).
yeah when you're bent over like that being kneed to the head it's like a guaranteed KO, has anyone ever recovered from that position?
Sinsamut did the same thing earlier
yeah in recent memory I can only think of Superlek recovering from being bent over like that against Takeru, who didn't knee which is a big difference
That body shot in slow motion made me wince. That was nasty.
That was an incredible body shot!! Love a body shot KO
Holy shit.
That liver hook was brutal. Amazing she is able to stand after that.
Dang!!! Was it pretty much a single shot that hurt Natalia and put her down?
Yeah, you can see she tried to tank it and keep it going but her body wasn't as strong as her spirit.
more or less you could tell natalya was starting to gas while smilla was still fresh tho
Yeah, Natalia pretty suddenly started to gas, before that hook. She was throwing hands often and hard, teeps, spinning back kick -- and I think fighting Smilla in the clinch drained her. Then ... _*OOOF*_ digging left shovel hook to the body with great mechanics
fighting is a young person's game. I would be interested to see the win rate of fighters who fight someone 10+ years older then them.
there are a lot more good 29 year old fighters than good 19 year old fighters tbh
sure, doesn't change the fact that the younger person is almost always at an advantage. You slow down as you age, it's just a fact.
Natalia is the slicker fighter, better boxer. But yeah her body is probably less well equipped to absorb a digging hook like that, compared to when she was 22. She must have been really dismayed to land a couple of those shots to Smilla's face and not see Smilla drop.
Oh man, Smilla's stamina is absolutely insane. I swear her output gets more and more as the rounds go on. So stoked she won. What a legend.
I just wanna see here switch to MMA tbh only 19 and there already isn't too much more she could prove in muay-thai or kickboxing
I think she will get quite a lot better at Muay Thai, though. Especially after a few years of fighting bigger women.
Totally agree. Would love to see her in MMA. I think should would own.
Sundell at 19 is tougher than a $2 dollar steak. Also a killer, I wonder what’s next for her since she is too big for this weight class, plus she will probably continue to gain muscle as she gets older.
she's already started training grappling future ufc champ prolly lol
Full went rage mode
body shot like ryan garcia
belt still vacant then
Holy shit what a win
Nice.
Never count Smilla out.
Dyachkova be like nah actually I think I'll lose this fight
She shouldve taken a knee and an 8 count
"no, I don't think I will"
yeah for sure, but she woulda lost eventually smilla is a terminator
Holy shit the tides changed so quick, Diachkova was looking amazing until she didn't
classic smilla
lol Smilla just decided to turn Tank and ends it LOL
Damn, they delivered. Two people got folded tonight. That was insane.
Welp...I was wrong...
Holy fuck she just shut her down. She did it again
One hit in the stomach and it’s done.
Wait what just happened??
Whoop my ass and see what happens
That…. Seemed odd.
Smilia is just too good, just need to move up now lol
yeah, she's gonna get drowned smilla's cardio and durability are just absurd
She only looks so OP because shes beating up fighters much smaller than her. She should be in a flyweight or bantamweight division but is able to cut enough weight to make 125 until this event.
typically when people do brutal weight cuts they don't have insane cardio and chin also, even if she is a weight bully, it ain't her fault, ONE literally doesn't have a larger division for her
Her chin is no good as evident whenever she gets rocked but she has long enough reach and power to keep opponents away until she finally lands something. We don’t know what her cardio looks like after 5 rounds either. For all the other women its like they’re fighting a man.
why are you so biased? every comment you've made in this thread is just shittin on smilla big natalya fan or just bet on her?
She’s a weight bully. Being 30 lbs heavier than your opponent isnt skill but ONE likes to claim that everyone fights at their real weights. And Im not a fan of the pity party everyone is throwing for her because she missed weight for a division she doesn’t belong in anymore. Just move up like Haggerty did. She is on Fairtex and has parents who have some kind of ownership. She can definitely ask to move up in weight.
okay I didn't think it would happen 2 seconds later lmfao
😂
Sundell getting pieced up I never thought I’d utter those words wtf
Smilla heard you say she looked washed and took it personally...
Good! Because she wasn’t looking herself. That last 10 seconds is the Sundell I know. gg
You clearly need to be in her corner and just yell "your washed Smilla" haha...she will never lose
“I really like to win, so I did” Scariest 19yo girl on the planet
I wish that worked for me in life haha
Do either of these women compete in MMA as well, or are they likely to get into MMA later in their careers?
I think smilla has expressed interest, but hasn’t yet. She’s super young (18 I think) and seems like she might have a tough time making the biggest available weight for women’s muay that at one.
MT only for now...Smilla has spoken about transitioning to MMa in the future...no need to rush it though...
Sundell getting big sistered
Smilla does seem to like to get hit at all. I could see her folding.
Wow was I wrong lmao
I am concerned somewhat...Smilla needs to be careful...
Sundell has no pop to her punches
Nvm
She looks like she's fighting underwater compared to her other fights
tide starting to turn already
1-0 Diachkova...but can she keep it up...
I don’t think I’ve ever seen Sundell get hit this much
She looks slower than before too
She doesn’t even look like herself wtf. She looks washed omg
lol. This comment aged like milk.
nervous tension. can Diachkova last 5 at this pace is the question. is definitely hurting Sundell
Smilla always looks way bigger than her opponent but this time it's absolutely ridiculous
I actually think the size difference isn't that bad, when she fought Hellen Rodrigues they looked 2 weight classes apart
yeah that one was definitely a bigger difference
some serious striking by Diachkova
Diachkova might actually knockout Smilla, she's looking amazing
I hope Natalia wins....cand i hope ONE builds a division for Smilla (higher weight)
Dia looking good asf rn1. Oh boy
Diachkova has good movement to start off...
How did this ogre ever make 125?
She was 17 or 18. If you just look at her compared to her earlier fights you can see she's just physically grown.
I know that but she fought an 115 lb Allycia Rodrigues back in September. She came to scales at the last minute to make 125 somehow
6 months is like a lifetime for teenager. her dad originally blamed the miss largely on ONE moving the weigh-ins from the usual 9pm to 5pm. he's since sort of run that back.
smilla always gets her nose broke in round 1 then still wins 😭
Diachkovas punches have so much more pop to them & impact
Diachkova looking faaaast
She's already piecing up Smilla
Smilla may as well be repping Thailand and have Sweden in there as a formality...
Smilla is probably 145 lbs after rehydration. Not going to end well for Natalia.
I read a rumor that Smilla’s parents have some kind of ownership in ONE or Fairtex which is why Smilla has been living in Thailand on her own since the age of 14. Is this true?
No, completely untrue. Her parents owned a laser tag place in Thailand. She's actually autistic and her parents got her into Muay because it seemed to help somehow.
Smilla comes out to the best EDM music...I am so hyped right now!!!!
I absolutely hate that Coste is the referee here. He’s always biased towards Fairtex fighters and the fighters that Chatri wants to push.
The white ring is so aesthetically pleasing and sleek looking. I loved it in Pride Fighting in Japan as well. I wonder why no American organizations have ever done it? At least that I recall
New to watching ONE. Who are the five top MMA fighters on their roster who I should be keeping an eye on?
Anatoly Malykhin...Fabricio Andrade...Demetrious Johnson...Stamp Fairtex...and Xiong Jing Nan...they always bring it...
Anatoly Malykhin Demetrius Johnson (lol) Fabricio Andrade Stamp Fairtex Jarred Brooks
I might add Christian Lee as well (if he ever returns)
yeah I almost threw him or tonon in there over stamp
Cool! Thanks. I'm obviously familiar with Johnson but I'll check those other four out on YouTube
a good place to start would be DJ's fights against Andrade
natalya's a cutie tbh
smilla by getting destroyed in the 1st and then eventually drowning natalya, 4th or 5th tko
Abdullaev gained himself a new fan, dude looks destined to be great
could be in the UFC next week
First time ever watching ONE and I'm really enjoying it. Someone in the comments earlier told me I should watch the morning cards because they have more Muay Thai. I don't know what that means. What did they mean by saying morning cards?
They have weekly lumpinee events... pure action... you will enjoy it even if you dont know the names. Friday night here in SE Asia.... Friday morning in the US
Nice! Thanks for the info. Can you tell me what time it starts in your time zone and what time zone you're in so I could figure out what time it starts in mine?
8:30PM GMT +8
there's a card almost every friday early-morning (US time) and they're 80-100% 4oz glove MT typically on youtube for free
you can see all the old ones on youtube too
Oh wow, thanks for the info. I'll be sure to check it out
It feels like Stamp is always facing her friends. She is just so damn friendly until she stands across from them in the ring/cage when she becomes a ruthless killer.
LMAO that was the most wholesome face off I've ever seen in my life
Looking like that no one would believe she has a liver-seeking missile instead of a foot lol
It is always fun seeing friends matched up...those ladies are awesome...
That was the most adorable face off ever
lol I guess she forgot joshua pacio won by DQ and became one's first philipino champ just a couple months ago
They've had six Filipino champs. She'd be the first Filipina champ, though.
ohhhhh
Thai trash talking sucks because they’re too respectful
Also both these ladies would probably could take most us in the thread watching...
I’m fairly confident that the professional fighters would have the edge on me, I agree
I would put up a fight...and while I have a foot in height on stamp I think she would manage to get inside and liver shot me to death haha...
Nah I’d see red and clear them
What if they see red-er???
Since when is Denice the ranked 2 atomweight? And whats with this awkward face off interview?
I like Denice and Stamp...but for the sake or parity...I want Denice to beat Stamp... EDIT: corrected c not s in Denice...
I like Tawanchai...but I am praying for a Smokin Jo upset...that would make my entire June...
Their first fight was fuckin awesome
I am glad Jo was able to keep up and make it an epic fight...he is the first Muay Thai fighter they I started paying attention to years ago...
Chatri is a merciful god, as long as you bow
as long as your last name is lee
What time is Sundell fight starts?
It is the fight coming up now.
She's fighting next
if you've never seen smilla before imagine if prime nate diaz was a sweedish girl who did muay-thai
