Jingnan Xiong has probably forgotten what life was like before she took her seat on the One Championship women’s strawweight throne.
Closing in on four full years as champion, “The Panda” will defend her title against Ayaka Miura in the One Championship “Heavy Hitters” headliner on Friday at Singapore Indoor Stadium in Kallang, Singapore. Xiong enters the cage on a two-fight winning streak. She last appeared at One Championship “Empower,” where she took a unanimous decision from Brazilian jiu-jitsu ace Michelle Nicolini on Sept. 3. Meanwhile, Miura has rattled off seven victories across her past eight outings.
