Lee dominated her last challenger Jenny Huang last Saturday and the ONE atomweight world champion barely had a finger laid on her on the way to a third-round TKO victory.

MANILA — Ev “E.T.” Ting said he holds high respect for Filipino fighters, despite having defeated a handful of them. Ting, who is due to face MMA champion Eduard Folayang next month, made it clear he has nothing personal against his past Filipino foes.

MANILA, Philippines – Filipino mixed martial arts (MMA) standout Eduard “Landslide” Folayang has plenty of similarities with Team Lakay comrade Honorio “The Rock” Banario, foremost of which is that they are the only Filipino fighters to win ONE Championship world titles.

BANGKOK: Mixed martial arts (MMA) star Angela Lee successfully made the first defence of her One Championship title belt on Saturday (Mar 11) with a third-round technical knockout (TKO) of Taiwanese contender Jenny Huang. Standing at 1.63m, Lee utilised her significant height and reach advantage to overwhelm 1.55m-tall Huang from the get-go of their atomweight (47.7kg-52.2kg) tilt.

In ONE Championship’s follow-up act in Bangkok, Thailand, the fighters up and down the card more than lived up to the show’s “Warrior Kingdom” billing, delivering an action-packed night of Asian MMA featuring eight finishes in nine bouts, including five by knockout or TKO.

History is a hard thing to erase and Angela Lee was set to mark the latest chapter in hers on Sunday with a new tattoo. The 20-year-old will never forget Thailand and the first defence of her ONE world atomweight championship – the ink will ensure that, as will the replays of her punishing victory over Jenny Huang.

Barely 24 hours after retaining her world title, One Championship atomweight champion Angela Lee is already itching to get back into the ring. Her 10-month absence from the arena hardly mattered, as she pummelled challenger Jenny Huang to emerge victorious via a technical knockout at the Impact Arena in Bangkok on Saturday night.

ONE Championship atomweight world champion says the time has come to display her skills again against tough Taiwanese Jenny Huang, focused on ‘everything’ for Saturday night’s showdown

06 March 2017 – Manila, Philippines: The largest sports media property in Asian history, ONE Championship™ (ONE), has just announced its return to Manila on 21 April to hold its tenth event on Philippine shores. The 20,000-capacity SM Mall of Asia Arena will play host to ONE: KINGS OF DESTINY, which promises another evening of world-class mixed martial arts action that fans around the globe should not miss. Headlining the card will be ONE Lightweight World Champion Eduard “Landslide” Folayang of the Philippines, who will defend his belt for the first time against Malaysia’s Ev “E.T.” Ting.

Angela Lee provided MMA in Asia with its biggest story of the past 12 months when she became the sport’s youngest-ever world champion at just 19 years of age. Look closely at the photos taken of Lee since and you’ll see the exact moment, inked for all time on her forearm. May 6, 2016. 11.16pm. From that moment on it’s safe to say that Lee’s universe would never be the same, and the future of MMA in the region was fixed at the same time.
