Xiong Jing Nan drops Angela Lee, wins via decision at ONE on Prime


ONE women’s strawweight world champion Xiong Jing Nan emerged victorious in her third meeting with Angela Lee with a unanimous decision nod the main event of ONE on Prime Video 2 this Saturday at the Singapore Indoor Stadium.

Xiong came out guns blazing in the opening round throwing hard punches from both hands before scoring a couple of knockdowns with her right. Lee opted to grapple in round two going for a choke but was unable to force a tap from her opponent.

Xiong consistently attacked the body as soon as the fight returned to their feet. The pair traded heavy leather in round three with Xiong getting the better of the exchanges. Lee pressed forward but was getting countered with clean shots on her way in.

Lee found success in round 4 with Xiong being passive as she seemingly took a round off. Lee fought with urgency in the fifth and final round while the Chinese fighter was content with throwing counter punches until the final bell.

All three judges saw the fight for Xiong after five five-minute rounds, improving her mixed martial arts record to 18-2 while the ONE women’s atomweight world champion Angela Lee fell to 11-3.
