"I plan on keeping my unbeaten record intact and I believe we have the right game plan to emerge victorious in front of my hometown crowd in Singapore. "Xiong Jing Nan is a dangerous striker but at the same she's a well-rounded martial artist," Lee quipped. She has nothing but praises for her counterpart, but made it clear she's not about to fail her mission in front of her hometown crowd. Getting branded as an underdog, however, merely motivated Lee to train harder than ever for a championship bout. That being said, I also know Angela and she’s always about making history." She’s finished almost everybody she’s faced. "I put Angela as a heavy underdog in this fight because she’s moving up a weight class against a very, very dangerous KO striker with a 13-1 record.

On November 9, I aim to write my name in the history books yet again by being the youngest female martial artist to become a world champion in two weight classes." The match will be fought at strawweight Xiong and ‘Wondergirl’s natural competing weight class. The trilogy takes place in the main event of ONE Fight Night 2 this Saturday, Oct.

'The Panda' Xiong Jing Nan (17-2) and 'Unstoppable' Angela Lee (11-2) have split a pair of epic world title fights, and its hard to pick between them ahead of their trilogy bout on Friday, September 30. But as a lifelong martial artist, I've learned that the only way to get better is to keep challenging myself," said Lee.
