Xiong Jingnan (Chinese: 熊竞楠; born January 12, 1988) is a Chinese mixed martial artist. She is the inaugural and reigning ONE Women's Strawweight World Champion. She is also the first ever Chinese World Champion in mixed martial arts history.[4]
Biography
Xiong was born in Weishan County, Jining, Shandong province in 1988.
Background
She began her martial arts journey at the age of 18 as a member of the Shandong women's boxing team and represented China internationally.[5][6]
She was inspired by Chinese martial arts movies from an early age and has always lived by the heroic values she saw on screen.[7] Of particular note, she loved 'The Swordsman.'[8] Besides standing up for the weak and bullied whenever she could, Xiong made many sacrifices to be the best in her field, moving away from home and foregoing many typical teenage activities to focus on training for competition.[9]
After adding BJJ to her arsenal, she won a China Open BJJ championship.[10] She then set her sights on competing in mixed martial arts and threw herself into it completely, training several times a day from morning to night.
After competing in her native China, she made a successful debut on the global stage of ONE Championship with an impressive knockout of April Osenio.[11] That led her to a shot at the inaugural ONE Women's Strawweight World Championship against Tiffany Teo, which she seized with yet another knockout to make history as China's first-ever mixed martial arts World Champion.[12]
She has since defended the belt several times in definitive fashion, including handing ONE Women's Atomweight World Champion Angela Lee her first-ever loss.[13]
Xiong will challenge Lee for the ONE Women's Atomweight World Title on October 13 at ONE: CENTURY. It will be the main event of ONE: CENTURY Part I on TNT.[14]
Mixed martial arts career
Early career
Xiong made her professional MMA debut in 2014. She fought primarily in Kunlun Fight and amassed a record of 10-1 before signing with ONE Championship[citation needed]

ONE Women's Strawweight World Champion
Xiong faced Tiffany Teo for the title on January 20th, 2018 at ONE Championship: Kings of Courage. She stopped the Singaporean in the fourth round to win the ONE Women's Strawweight Championship belt. With the win, she became the first Chinese World Champion in mixed martial arts history.[15]
She has successfully defended the title against Laura Balin and Samara Santos Cunha.
At ONE Championship: A New Era she became the first fighter to ever beat Angela Lee.[16]
Challenging for the Atomweight title
Xiong and Lee fought again in a rematch this time for Lee's Atomweight championship, Xiong lost by submission.[17]
Return to Strawweight
She returned to strawweight to defend her ONE Women's Strawweight Championship at ONE Championship: Inside the Matrix in a rematch of the championship fight that first earned her title against Tiffany Teo. Surviving a late surge from Tiffany, Xiong defended her title, winning the fight via unanimous decision.[18]
Xiong defended her ONE Women's Strawweight Championship against Michelle Nicolini at ONE Championship: Empower on September 3, 2021.[19] She won the bout via unanimous decision, avoiding going to the ground with her opponent and winning the striking exchanges.[20]
Xiong defended her title against Ayaka Miura on January 14, 2022 at ONE Championship: Heavy Hitters.[21] She won the bout in dominant fashion via unanimous decision.[22]
Xiong made her seventh strawweight title defense against the ONE Women's Atomweight (115 lbs) champion Angela Lee at ONE on Prime Video 2: Xiong vs. Lee 3 on September 30, 2022.[23] She retained her title by unanimous decision.[24]
