Smilla Sundell didn't leave Lumpinee Boxing Stadium with the ONE Women's Strawweight Muay Thai World Title due to a weight miss, but the Swedish sensation can be happy with her night's work.

"The Hurricane" overcame a round one blitz from Russian knockout artist Natalia Diachkova to record a second-round TKO victory at ONE Fight Night 22 on Prime Video in Bangkok, Thailand, on Saturday, May 4.

Sundell's left eye was showing the effects of several Diachkova right hands, but it was a perfectly placed left hook to the body that folded "Karelian Lynx" late in round two. The 19-year-old quickly pounced, forcing the referee to wave off the contest with one second left in the frame.

In the co-main event, Akbar Akbullaev left the crowd stunned when he knocked Halil Amir out cold in the second round of their featherweight MMA tilt. "Bakal" caught Amir with a left hook as they disengaged from the clinch, sending his Turkish foe crashing to the canvas.

Abdullaev improved to 11-0 in MMA with the massive win, preserving his 100 percent finish rate in the process. He also took home a US$50,000 performance bonus for his sensational victory. Check out the full results from ONE Fight Night 22: Sundell vs. Diachkova
