Xiong Jingnan and Li Shengzhu (Angela Lee) are born enemies. They dominate the two levels of strawweight and atomic weight in the ONE championship game. Their technical styles are completely different. Xiong Jingnan mainly focuses on standing strikes, while Li Shengzhu is an expert in the battle series. They had two previous matches and finally scored 1-1, each defending their gold belt . In ONE Fighting Night 2 on October 1, Xiong Jingnan and Li Shengzhu will have three battles. Although there is still some time before the game, the war has actually begun.
Recently, Li Shengzhu posted two photos on her personal IG, the moment when Xiong Jingnan was struck by her naked in the second match, and the scene of her winning with the referee. What is more aggressive is her caption: pat or fall asleep, I can't wait to see your choice this time. Boxing fans who know mixed martial arts understand the meaning of this passage. The so-called "pat" means giving up on the beat, while "sleeping" means being stalked. There is no doubt that Li Shengzhu's words have a strong provocative meaning.
Indeed, in the second match between the two, Li Shengzhu won the victory in the fifth round of the nude strangle of Xiong Jingnan and defended his atomweight world champion. This was also Xiong Jingnan's only defeat in the past seven years. But don't forget that Xiong Jingnan was holding Li Shengzhu's subjugation arrangement in a battle and TKO him with fierce attack technology. So, can Xiong Jingnan also say: TKO or KO, and I can’t wait to see your choice?
In fact, Chinese players usually do not take the initiative to attack their opponents, but Li Shengzhu is a "mouth expert". Before the previous two games, Li Shengzhu had spoken out to attack Xiong Jingnan. And even during her maternity leave, she had pointed fingers at Xiong Jingnan's game, commenting on her "the competition is not aggressive", "just want not to lose, not want to win", etc.
Xiong Jingnan usually just smiles at this. Because for such mature players, Li Shengzhu's "psychological warfare" of this level cannot affect the competition at all. Moreover, anyone who has watched Xiong Jingnan’s last two defending titles knows that she has evolved to version 2.0, and her main advanced skill is “dropping prevention”.
Xiong Jingnan played against Michelle Nicolin, known as the "women's jiujitsu ceiling" in the fifth world championship defense game in 2021. Michelle has won 8 World Jiu-Jitsu Championships, 4 World Jiu-Jitsu Championships in Wudaofu, and 1 ADCC World Champion Championship. Her achievements in Jiu-Jitsu are far superior to Lee Sheng-Jitsu. But facing Xiong Jingnan, she almost failed to successfully implement a hug and suppression, and eventually ended in a crushing defeat.
In Xiong Jingnan's sixth world championship defense game this year, she encountered Japanese fighting player Ayaka Miura again. Although she did not have the outstanding jiu-jitsu record as Michelle, Ayaka Miura has more experience in the field of mixed martial arts. In her seven endings, six of them used Kassagu to subdue her opponents, so she is also known as the "Queen of Kassagu". However, with Xiong Jingnan's powerful blow and super anti-fall ability, Aya Miura failed to successfully use Kasaru once, and eventually lost with hatred.
After three years, Xiong Jingnan and Li Shengzhu confronted each other again. Their lives and skills have changed dramatically, but the only thing that remains unchanged is that the results of the game are still unpredictable.
