Smilla Sundell Eager to Earn Back Title She Lost on the Scale

Smilla Sundell wants to earn back the ONE Championship strawweight muay thai title that she lost due to missing weight.

Sundell lost her strap after failing to make weight for her title defense against Natalia Diachkova in the main event at One on Prime Video 22 on May 3. The bout was then contested at a catchweight of 126.5 pounds, as Sundell survived an early scare from Diachkova and came from behind to score a second-round TKO win. While Sundell was admittedly sad by the manner in which she lost her title, it was the support she had from fans that kept the Swede going.
