Buntan faced Daniela López at ONE Championship: Empower on September 3, 2021.[8] She won the fight by unanimous decision.[9]

Her three-fight winning streak under the ONE banner earned Buntan the chance to fight Smilla Sundell for the inaugural ONE Women's Strawweight Muay Thai World Championship at ONE 156 on April 22, 2022.[10] Despite a strong start to the bout, she lost the fight by unanimous decision.[11][12]

Buntan faced Diandra Martin on May 5, 2023, at ONE Fight Night 10.[16] At weigh-ins, Jackie Buntan (131 lbs) and Diandra Martin (126 lbs) both missed weight. Their bout proceeded at a catchweight of 131.0 lbs.[17] She won the fight by a first-round knockout.[18]
