Polish striking sensation Martyna Kierczynska delivered a standout performance against Thai star Nat “Wondergirl” Jaroonsak at ONE Fight Night 19, and now she knows her next assignment.

Sherdog.com has learned that Kierczynska has been booked to face three-time muay-thai world champion Ekaterina Vandaryeva at ONE Fight Night 20. The three-round 125-pound muay-thai clash will go down March 8 at Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok.

Jaroonsak was initially scheduled to face Dayane de Souza Cardoso in a mixed-rules contest at ONE Fight Night 19. However, Cardoso was forced to withdraw, and Kierczynska stepped in as a late replacement.

Fortunately for her, the gamble yielded great rewards. Going into the muay-thai rules clash as an underdog, the Polish phenom earned a second-round stoppage with a fiery showcase, thoroughly dismantling Jaroonsak via TKO in the second round.

Kierczynska announced her arrival with formidable authority and in her post-fight interview shed light on plans to unveil more of her prowess in the next contest.

“I can fight against anybody, step by step until I get a world title fight,” Kierczynska said. “My first dream was to get into ONE Championship, but my second dream is to become a ONE world champion and have the belt. It was only two rounds today, but next time I think I can show you more of Martyna Kierczynska and more of my Polish power.”

Vandaryeva has found it challenging to replicate her international acclaim on the ONE Championship stage, losing four consecutive fights since making her debut in October 2019. She last saw action in a muay-thai showdown against Iman Barlow at ONE Fight Night 8, losing the bout via unanimous decision.
