After dominating the first four rounds, Lee faltered in the final round as she attempted to add Xiong's ONE Women's Strawweight World Championship to her trophy case and compliment the ONE Women's Atomweight World Championship she's held since its inception.

Xiong powered through a deep triangle arm-bar submission attempt in the fourth round, and even more, amazingly had the energy and power to take advantage and finish off an exhausted Lee in the fifth frame, as she systematically attacked the body of her fatigued opponent.

Aside from the sheer entertainment value the first match produced, this was also a very competitive match that could have gone easily gone Lee’s way as well.

In a rematch, would Xiong handle Lee's grappling and length better? Would Lee come in with better stamina and a better gas tank?

In any case, this matchup seems destined to have multiple chapters.
