The Singapore-based promotion confirmed the pairing on Monday
following an initial report from
MMAFighting.com. One on Prime Video 2 takes place on Sept. 30
at Singapore Indoor Stadium in Kallang, Singapore. The evening’s
main card will stream live in the United States on Prime Video at
10 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT. Xiong’s strawweight (125-pound) belt will be
on the line in the trilogy bout.
Lee and Xiong initially squared off at One Championship “A New
Era,” with Xiong retaining her belt with a fifth-round technical
knockout victory in March 2019. Xiong dropped to atomweight (115
pounds) for the rematch in an attempt to become a two-division
champion, but Lee retained her crown with a fifth-round submission
at One Championship “Century Part 1” in October 2019.
Lee returned following more than a two-year layoff at One X, where
she scored a second-round submission of Nong Stamp
on March 26. The 26-year-old Evolve MMA representative has competed
exclusively in One, compiling an 11-3 mark since her professional
debut in May 2015.
Xiong, meanwhile, has won three straight since the setback to Lee,
besting Tiffany
Teo, Michelle
Nicolini and Ayaka Miura
in succession. All three of those aforementioned triumphs came via
five-round unanimous verdicts. The Phuket Top Team product is 17-2
as a professional and 8-1 in One.
