is stuffed. Takahashi is even less active than Oh, who is throwing
some body kicks. After some more dead time, Takahashi starts
throwing leg kicks. Oh eats another leg kick but moves forward. Oh
throws some hooks but can’t find his mark. The round thankfully
comes to an end. One’s mixed martial art bouts are scored as a

guess. Oh goes for a takedown that is stuffed and eats a knee.

back of Takahashi. Oh can’t do anything and Takahashi gets back to
his feet. Neither fighter is doing much. Takahashi lands a solid
leg kick. Oh misses a jumping kick. Takahashi lands a kick as Oh
goes for an ill-advised takedown. The round ends with Takahashi

Sherdog ran into technical issues that prevented us from doing the
main event round-by-round account. We apologize for the
inconvenience. Here’s our recap of the bout:

Jingnan
Xiong retained the One
Championship women’s strawweight title with a unanimous
decision over archrival Angela Lee
in the
ONE on Prime Video 2 headliner on Friday at Singapore Indoor
Stadium in Kallang Singapore. Xiong (18-2, 9-1 ONE) won the
approval of all three cageside judges, improving to 2-1 in her
head-to-head series with the “Unstoppable” Hawaiian.

In many regards, it was all about the first round. There, Xiong had
her challenger on skates more than once with punishing right hands
and follow-up attacks. Referee Herb Dean
appeared to be on the verge of calling for the stoppage on multiple
occasions, only to allow Lee (11-3, 11-3 ONE) to continue forward.
Nowhere else in the bout were the exchanges between the two women
more profound.

Lee had her moments—she zeroed in on the neck in the second round,
enjoyed some success in the clinch and utilized more variety than
the champion—but could never swing the momentum permanently to her
side. Xiong downshifted later in the main event and left the door
open but re-established her hands as the dominant force in the
fifth round, where combination punching and effective counters
managed to keep the spirited Lee at bay.

The Official Result

Jingnan Xiong def. Angela Lee via Unanimous Decision
