Spanish striker Cristina Morales is eager to make her return to ONE Championship action against an opponent she appears to be destined to meet.

At ONE Fight Night 16: Haggerty vs. Andrade on Friday, November 3, Morales will face Anna “Supergirl” Jaroonsak in an atomweight kickboxing bout inside the iconic Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.

The pair have been scheduled to face each other twice before, but injuries and illnesses prevented their match from going ahead. With both now healthy and ready, Morales is eager to show the results of all her preparation. “We’re finally going to face each other on the third try. The truth is that I’m really motivated, and I feel strong,” she told ONE in an interview.

“We’ve prepared a long time for this fight, and I think it’s been one of the longest preparations I’ve ever had for one person. So we’ve had plenty of time to train physically and mentally. I’m looking forward to returning to ONE’s stage and giving it my all, like I do every time I get inside the ring.” The Sevilla native owns 48 career wins in kickboxing, and she hoped to make a splash in her debut at the world’s largest martial arts organization at ONE: EMPOWER in September 2021. Unfortunately, she fell to a second-round TKO against Anissa Meksen.

Morales now has a chance to redeem herself against another dangerous opponent, though. Having prepared for her twice before, she has been picturing how their much-anticipated battle will unfold for some time. “I see myself in the fight. In psychology, we work a lot on visualizing the fight, and every day after training, I visualize every shot that I want to throw, every shot that I want to connect,” she said.“I want to win the fight, enjoy it, and be able to get the victory.”

Morales is familiar with Supergirl’s fighting prowess

Getting the win will not be easy, however. ‘Supergirl’ has 40 wins under her belt in Muay Thai and kickboxing competition, and she is coming off a brilliant win against former ONE World Title contender Lara Fernandez at ONE Fight Night 13 this past August.

Morales knows that she will be facing a dangerous foe in Jaroonsak, but she has chosen to pay attention to what she can control and not what the Thai will be bringing to the ring. “Instead of focusing on my opponent, I focus on my strengths, and I work on them. I don’t focus too much on my opponent. I think she’s a complete fighter, and I prefer to focus on what I can do,” she revealed. “One of my strengths is my intensity within the fight and my power shots.”
