Angela Lee seeking champ-champ status

ONE women's atomweight world champion 'Unstoppable' Angela Lee will be seeking to earn legendary status as a double champion. She will meet Xiong in her weight class and look to capture the strawweight throne.

The Singaporean-American superstar has one TKO loss and one submission win against 'The Panda.' The two will look to end their trilogy later this year. The Champ vs. Champ fight has been booked for ONE on Prime Video 2 on September 30.

'Unstoppable' and ‘The Panda’ are highly respected queens in their divisions. Lee has a total of five successful title defenses, while Xiong has an impressive six successful title defenses. Both also successfully defended their crowns in 2022.

Strawweight MMA fighter 'Wondergirl' Nat Jaroonsak discussed this bout a few months ago while speaking with SCMP MMA and said:

"It’s really hard to choose. They’re both really good fighters you know ... If it’s strawweight division, I would say still Xiong Jing Nan. Last time that she lost to Angela Lee, I think [it was] because she dropped her weight down.”

China's Xiong sounds motivated in her approach to this fight. On Instagram, she shared:

"Stay hungry, stay angry, third time is a charm!"
