Reigning ONE women’s strawweight MMA world champion Xiong Jing Nan has been dominating the division since her debut in December 2017, when she scored a TKO victory over April Osenio in the opening round of the bout.
A month later, after her debut victory, Xiong captured the world title by beating Tiffany Teo in the second round of their clash for the ONE women’s strawweight MMA world title in January 2018. Since then, she has been able to successfully defend her crown multiple times against Laura Balin, Samara Santos, Angela Lee, Michelle Nicolini, and Ayaka Miura.
Her only lone defeat came at the hands of ONE women’s atomweight MMA world champion Angela Lee when she moved down in weight to try and become a two-division world champion but fell short. Despite that setback, she continued to reign supreme in the 125-pound division.
Because of her dominance, ‘The Panda’ became a top favorite among combat sports fans all over the world. A solid proof of this is how fans reacted to the latest ONE Championship post about Xiong.
