The Filipina utilized her footwork and speed and unleashed a variety of kicks against her Japanese opponent.</p><p>&quot;I&#x27;m happy that I was able to show new tricks, tricks that aren&#x27;t usually seen in Muay Thai. I was throwing hook kicks, I was throwing back kicks,&quot; said Bomogao, who was among the several Filipino fighters in action last weekend in Thailand.</p><div><a class="fr-green fr-strong" href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/sports/2024/11/9/jackie-buntan-claims-one-womens-strawweight-kickboxing-title-1745">READ: Fil-Am Jackie Buntan claims ONE women&#x27;s strawweight kickboxing title</a></div><p>&quot;I wanted to show that Muay Thai is so much more than roundhouse kicks, teeps, punches and elbows. We can be creative as well and put on new moves; that&#x27;s what I&#x27;m happy about,&quot; she added.</p><p>While she leaves the full assessment of her performance to her coaches, Bomogao is happy that she was able to execute her game plan, despite coming in with plenty of hype -- and pressure.</p><p>&quot;Personally, I think it was a good performance. I think I was able to execute my game plan, control her with my teeps, use my boxing, and move around. But the overall assessment would be really up to my coaches, because they&#x27;re the ones who are really watching,&quot; she said.</p><p>Still, the Filipina knows that there is room for improvement. In particular, she is not satisfied with her defense against Fuu and believes she could have done a better job with her offense.</p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:960px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1731409085679NIC-3911.JPG" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt="Filipina fighter Islay Erika Bomogao in action against Japan&#x27;s Fuu in a 100-pound catchweight Muay Thai bout at ONE Friday Fights 86 on November 8 at the Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.

I was getting hit a couple of times. I&#x27;m gonna work on that with my team,&quot; she said. &quot;Then more straight combinations, not just one-two. I have to string more [together]. Maybe I have to put together strikes in one go.&quot;</div><p>Aside from Bomogao, also triumphant last weekend was Filipino-American fighter Jackie Buntan, who pulled off an upset of Anissa &quot;C18&quot; Meksen to win the inaugural ONE Women&#x27;s Strawweight Kickboxing World Title at ONE 169.</p><p>Meanwhile, Fritz Biagtan came through with a unanimous decision win against Seyedali Asli, while Carlos Alvarez pulled off a second round stoppage of Mirza Aliev.</p><p>It was not a clean sweep for Filipinos, however, as Danny Kingad absorbed another loss at the hands of Adriano Moraes in a flyweight bout.</p><div><strong>RELATED VIDEO:</strong></div><div><span class="fr-video fr-deletable fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable" contenteditable="false" draggable="true"><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/WRfnQCQPZzQ?&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe></span><br/></div><div></div>
