“The Panda” Xiong Jing Nan of China is ONE Championship‘s inaugural women’s strawweight world champion. She won the title at “ONE: Kings of Courage” at the Jakarta Convention Center in Jakarta, Indonesia on January 20, 2018.
In the main event, Xiong defeated Tiffany Teo of Singapore via technical knockout. In particular, the Chinese mixed martial artist won by referee stoppage in the fourth round.
Relying on an accurate striking, Xiong tagged Teo repeatedly with her patented overhand rights and stinging left hooks that presented a difficult problem to solve for the tough Singaporean. Through sheer power and determination, the Chinese MMA fighter overwhelmed Teo and secured the finish by dropping the Singaporean MMA fighter with a volley of crisp punches
“I want to thank ONE Championship for this chance to show what China and what women can do,” the newly crowned ONE Women’s Strawweight World Champion stated. “I am happy to represent China and take a lot of pride in that. I feel great and I’m overwhelmed.”
“This is a message to all the women across the world, you can achieve anything,” Xiong continued. “This win is dedicated to my grandmother and grandfather who passed away recently.”
