SINGAPORE - Tiffany Teo held her own for 25 gruelling minutes, but ultimately fell short in her goal to become the first Singapore-born mixed martial arts champion in One Championship.
The pair had crossed paths once for the title before, in Jakarta in January 2018, with Xiong winning via a technical knockout in the fourth round. Xiong, however, managed to escape and fired off crisp punches throughout the rest of the fight. While it was not her most dominant performance, the 32-year-old Shandong native never looked in serious danger of losing her title and the judges' scorecards reflected that.
Asked about her takedown in the final round, she admitted:"Yeah, I was trying to set that up… in retrospect I should have got it done in an earlier round."
