ONE on Prime Video 2 results: Xiong Jing Nan beats Angela Lee in rubber match thriller

The rubber match between Xiong Jing Nan and Angela Lee lived up to many people’s expectations – and exceeded others’.

For the third time, [autotag]Xiong Jing Nan[/autotag] and [autotag]Angela Lee[/autotag] squared off inside the cage – and for the for the third time fight fans were treated to some high-level, high-paced action.

Atop the ONE on Prime Video 2 event Friday at Singapore Indoor Stadium in Singapore, champion Xiong (17-3) and challenger Lee (12-2) competed in a trilogy rubber-match for the women’s strawweight title. When the dust settled, Xiong was declared winner by unanimous decision.

There was a lot of dust that was kicked up over the span of five, five-minute rounds, but initially it looked like the bout might be stopped early on in the contest.

In Round 1, Xiong swarmed Lee and even knocked her down. Lee was on the retreat for much of the round with referee Herb Dean close by. Somehow, Lee did just enough to survive.

Although things seemed grim for her as she came out of her corner for Round 2, Lee proved it all to be an illusion. She out-grappled Xiong until the round-end bell and nearly pulled off an anaconda choke.

In Round 3, the striking battle resumed. Xiong, like Lee, was not phased by one poor round. She landed effective striking on Lee once again. Meanwhile, Lee showed some of her better striking moments of the match.

The championship rounds rolled around but both fighters still looked fresh. Xiong’s boxing was crisp and effective, as she popped Lee in the face. Lee utilized her wrestling late as she shoved Xiong against the fence.

The final round brought as much violence as any. The two women traded blows, swollen, scratched, and bruised. As the clock winded down toward zero, the two signaled to the crowd. They threw their defense out the window and simply threw hands until the buzzer. Shortly thereafter, Xiong was declared the victor.

Xiong and Lee fought twice prior to Friday’s bout, with the fighters at one win apiece. Xiong won their first meeting with a TKO due to a body kick and punches in March 2019. Seven months later, Lee extracted her revenge with a fifth-round submission in October 2019.

With the win, Xiong extends her winning streak to four. Meanwhile, Lee moves to 2-3 in her most recent five.

Angela Lee relishes ‘historical moment’ of Xiong Jing Nan title trilogy at ONE on Prime Video 2

Together, Angela Lee and Xiong Jing Nan will make women’s MMA history at ONE on Prime Video 2, but Lee also seeks some history of her own.

[autotag]Angela Lee[/autotag] and [autotag]Xiong Jing Nan[/autotag] will make women’s MMA history together at ONE on Prime Video 2, but Lee hopes to make some history of her own, too.

Lee, the ONE Championship women’s atomweight champion, is moving up from 115 pounds to 125 to challenge strawweight titleholder Xiong in what will be their third encounter, marking the first time that a major MMA title-fight trilogy has taken place between two women. Aside from that, Lee is trying to become the first female MMA double champ in ONE, which means everything to her.

“Going up to strawweight and capturing this second belt has been a goal of mine for many years now,” Lee said during Wednesday’s ONE on Prime Video 2 news conference. “It’s a big moment for me. It’s a historical moment. I’m just very honored to get the opportunity once more, and I’m definitely going to be taking advantage of that.”

The series between Lee (11-2) and Xiong (17-2) is even at one apiece, with each woman successfully defending her title against the other. Their most recent matchup was nearly three years ago, when Lee won a grueling affair by late fifth-round submission in October 2019. Earlier that year in March, another hard-fought battle ended with a finish, only it was Xiong derailing Lee’s champ-champ hopes and handing her first career loss by fifth-round TKO that began with a hard kick to the body.

Body kicks are something Lee will be aware of heading into the trilogy.

“I’ve reviewed the tape with my team,” Lee said. “We have seen that was an area that was exposed in previous fights, and so we definitely worked to correct that in this fight camp. We worked some counters for the body shots, as well, so looking forward to defending some body shots, maybe.”

The long and short of it is that Lee, just like the first two, isn’t expecting an easy matchup with Xiong, who is riding a three-fight winning streak.

She can’t wait to get it going.

“I’m really excited for our third matchup,” said Lee, who’s coming off a submission win over Stamp Fairtex this past March. “It’s been three years, and I know that we both have improved since then, and I’m excited to step in the cage and really test ourselves and see who’s gonna come out on top. It’s gonna be a great fight.”
