In the ONE Fighting Night 2 match on October 1, the women's atomic weight world champion Li Shengzhu (Angela Lee) launched an attack on the active strawweight world champion Xiong Jingnan for the second time. In the end, the two fought fiercely for five rounds, Li Shengzhu lost. The defeat in this three-game battle made Li Shengzhu fall behind Xiong Jingnan in total. What’s more important is that after missing this opportunity, her dream of becoming the "double champion" was basically shattered.
But the Li family is never willing to give up. After Li Shengzhu's younger brother Christian Lee regained the lightweight world championship in August this year, he will launch an attack on the welterweight world championship in ONE Fighting Night 4 on November 19 in less than 3 months. If he wins, he will fulfill his sister's wish and become the first dual-level champion of the Li family. He is also the second active dual-level champion in the ONE championship tournament after Reinier De Ridder, the middleweight & lightweight world champion.
Li Shenglong has been competing in the ONE Championship since 2015. At that time, he was only 17 years old and had a record of winning all five games and ending in one round. In addition to his sister Li Shengzhu's halo, he also became the most popular "fighting genius" in the ONE Championship at that time. But as young as he met the most powerful player in the cage at that time, Martin Nguyen, the first "double champion" in the ONE Championship. After losing to his opponent twice, Li Shenglong chose to enter lightweight development. At this time, his skills gradually matured and his body gradually grew up and he started his own path to becoming a king.
World-class strong enemies such as Shinya Aoki, Saygid Guseyn Arslanaliev, Iuri Lapicus, Timofey Nastyukhin were defeated by Li Shenglong, and most of them were ended. In September last year, Lee Seung-long encountered the newly emerging Korean star Rae Yoon Ok. After five rounds of fierce battle, Lee Seung-long lost the gold belt that he had defended for two years.
But the result of this game was strongly opposed by Li Shenglong. He believed that he won without any controversy, and all members of the Li family spoke out for Li Shenglong. A year later, Li Shenglong and Yin Yulai had a second battle. This time, Li Shenglong did not give his opponent any chance. He easily hit the TKO opponent in the first minute of the second round to win. While regaining the gold belt, he also used his strength to prove that he was the real lightweight king.
Currently, the lightweight division has just beaten Zhang Lipeng 's Saygid Izagakhmaev performed strongly, but he still needs to further prove his strength to win the championship challenge right. Li Shenglong is unwilling to wait passively. He has established dominance and will strive to win the title of "Double Champions" from welterweight world champion Kiamrian Abbasov.
Abasov previously achieved four consecutive victories in the ONE Championship. In the last game, he also launched an attack on the middleweight belt, but was subdued by defending champion Riddle in the third round, completely dispelling his willingness to strive for the "double champion". But now his own championship title is facing a strong challenge from Li Shenglong, and it is still unknown whether he can successfully defend. As a representative figure of his youthful fame, Li Shenglong will continue to attack the peak of his career. Can he fulfill his sister Li Shengzhu's wish and become a double-level champion? Let's wait and see.
