Natalia Diachkova: Her Winning Record Supports Her ONE World Title Claim

Natalia Diachkova feels her track record already speaks for itself as she prepares for another shot at the ONE Women's Strawweight Muay Thai World Title.

Diachkova is set to face Stella Hemetsberger in the main event of ONE Fight Night 46 this Friday, August 14th, live from Bangkok's Lumpinee Stadium. Her initial four consecutive victories within ONE Championship were enough to earn her a lucrative contract. She has since secured two more wins after her first unsuccessful title bid, diligently rebuilding her case for a championship fight.

The Russian contender believes that Hemetsberger's championship accomplishments don't reflect true adversity. Diachkova argues that the champion's past victories, including two against Jackie Buntan, were more a reflection of her opponents' performances than Hemetsberger's dominance.

"I consulted with the top trainers in Russia and Thailand, and they all agreed that it wasn't Stella who won, but rather Jackie who lost," Diachkova stated.

Natalia Diachkova Prepared for All Scenarios on Friday

Diachkova has not focused her training camp on achieving a specific type of victory. Instead, she has prepared herself to be ready for any outcome that the fight might demand, potentially going the full five rounds. This patient approach is coupled with a strong belief that an opportunity for a decisive finish will arise naturally.

"I'm not fixated on a knockout, although I am psychologically prepared for it. I am ready to knock her out in the first, second, third, fourth, or fifth round. I would certainly love to take her second belt as well," she expressed.

If Diachkova fulfills her prediction, this victory would halt Hemetsberger's undefeated 5-0 record within the promotion and cost her one of the two belts that established her as a two-sport World Champion.

Diachkova's own record in ONE Championship now stands at an impressive 6-1, with four finishes. This record has been meticulously built since her initial World Title challenge fell short. She views this upcoming fight as the opportunity to finally bridge the perceived gap between her accomplishments and the championship recognition she feels she has already earned.
