She got back into the win column after losing to Ritu 'The Indian Tigress' Phogat in the ONE Atomweight World Grand Prix last October. During her time away from the ONE circle, Olsim scored a bronze medal finish in Vovinam at the 31st Southeast Asian Games in Hanoi, Vietnam. Olsim put her well-rounded offensive skills on display early in the contest, standing toe-to-toe with Mezabarba on the feet before switching levels and bringing the Brazilian to the ground. The second round produced similar results, but a flurry of strikes by Mezabarba in the closing minutes found Olsim eating a combination that stunned the Filipina fighter. Olsim survived the onslaught, taking Mezabarba down to the ground once again to secure a split decision win.
