Her parents supported her and she pursued a Carrer in Martial Arts. She had to leave her family behind, Not so easy for Xiong as family is everything to her. She always dreamt of becoming a World Champion, So in order to do so, she had to relocate to Beijing to focus on her career, but with that came sacrifice. At the age of 18 she trained in weight lifting before transitioning to Boxing, where she was on the Chinese National team. Now the table has flipped as Xiong will be now looking to become a Double Champion of her own and end the Angela Lee reign at Century once and for all.įrom an early age Xiong was already miles ahead of other children when it came to being athletic and she had all the signs of becoming something special.She watched Martial Arts films when she was growing up and was inspired by them to pursue a carrer in Martial Arts. It’s a rematch, when earlier this year at ONE Championship: A New Era in a back and forth fight, Xiong defeated Lee by TKO and also stopped Lee becoming a Double Champion aswell. It was announced at ONE Championship: Century that Angela Lee will defend her ONE Atomweight title against Xiong Jing Nan. If it delivers half as much drama as their epic battle in Tokyo, then it will be a smash hit.Xiong Jing Nan is one fighter that you as an MMA fan should know and if you don’t, that’s why I’m here to tell you about her. Nothing has been set in stone, but it appears the two superstars will share the cage again at some point in the future. If Jing Nan wants to fight at atomweight, let’s do it.” I think a lot of fans enjoyed it, so you never know. “Jing Nan is so dominant as a World Champion, and Angela was so dominant until today. “Jing Nan and Angela Lee are among the best females in the world, and I think there’s going to be a rivalry in the future, for sure. “If I’m not mistaken, I think Jing Nan wants to go down and face Angela for her Atomweight World Title,” he revealed. Sityodtong also hinted at a future rematch between the two leaders of the ONE women’s divisions – except this time, it would happen in another weight class and “The Panda” would have the chance to make some more history. I think her 17-1 record speaks for itself – she’s an absolute beast.” “I think she’s up there in terms of the best in the world. How many World Champions can come back from that kind of adversity and knock Angela out? I think she’s the number one or number two in the world,” he stated. “Today, she proved she’s a true World Champion. ONE Championship Chairman and CEO Chatri Sityodtong could not speak highly enough about “The Panda” for her fortitude and warrior spirit. The Singaporean had expended massive amounts of energy searching for the submission finish in the previous stanza, so Xiong attacked her weakened body with punches and then sealed the deal with a final salvo of strikes. She capitalized on her rival’s fatigue in round five, when only a stoppage would guarantee the safety of her ONE Women’s Strawweight World Title. Xiong’s resilience paid off, as she engineered a dramatic turnaround. Of course, my coach did not encourage me to do that, but he was very happy I could escape the submission.” “You would have to choke me out or break my arm. “I have faced the reverse triangle and armbar before, and the people who know me know that I would never, ever tap,” she explained. However, the Singaporean had never been in the cage with Xiong before, and it was the Chinese hero’s never-quit attitude that kept her in the contest, even when others may have tapped. In fact, six of her career victories have come by various submission holds. Lee is a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt with a phenomenal array of submissions, and a proven ability in finishing them. “I just needed to focus on my goal and concentrate on winning this fight. “I didn’t think too much,” she continued. “Because I am Xiong Jing Nan – I can’t lose,” the 31-year-old Beijing native said with a huge smile. Speaking to the media in the post-bout press conference at the Ryogoku Kokugikan in Tokyo, Japan, “The Panda” revealed how she managed to battle through Lee’s tight armbar and reverse triangle attempt.
