Similar to their initial fight, both fighters were not willing to move an inch as the opportunity to etch their names in history was simply too great to pass up. Things did not end well for Lee in her move up to the strawweight division as she was finished off by "The Panda" in the fifth and final round that started with a side kick to the body.Īfter Lee's failed foray, it was Xiong's turn to take a shot at making double champ status when she moved down to the atomweight division and challenged the Singaporean-American for her title in October of that year. Xiong and Lee's first meeting in March 2019 had immense historical purposes since both women were undefeated in their ONE Championship careers then–the former riding a four-fight win streak and the latter risking her own nine-fight streak to become the first female double champion in the promotion. The same can be said for Xiong after defeating Tiffany Teo for the inaugural women's strawweight title in January 2018 and she has racked up six title defenses to date. She has rarely looked back ever since, successfully defending her title five times. Lee, the reigning women's atomweight queen, has yet to be beaten in her division since her maiden debut and went on to win the title against Mei Yamaguchi in May 2016.
