ONE Fight Night 2 results: Xiong defends title; Musumeci crowned first-ever submission grappling champion

Singapore, October 1: ONE Fight Night 2 saw Xiong Jing Nan hold down her spot as the ONE Women's Strawweight World Champion and Mikey Musumeci become the inaugural ONE Flyweight Submission Grappling World Champion in the organization's latest spectacle.

The event, which went down on Saturday (October 1) morning at the Singapore Indoor Stadium in Kallang, Singapore, featured two ONE World Title fights that delivered action in spades.

In the main event, China's first mixed martial arts World Champion, Xiong, defended her crown against old foe Angela Lee in a trilogy battle for the ages.

"The Panda" scored with punches early on, leaving the ONE Women's Atomweight World Champion reeling for longer than she would have wanted.

Lee rebounded after the first round, however, and traded punches with the defending World Champion for the remainder of the bout. Her solid performance wasn't enough to sway the judges when proceedings ended, though, and all three gave the nod to Xiong.

In the co-main event, grappling phenom Musumeci became ONE's first-ever submission grappling World Champion by defeating Brazil's Cleber Sousa.

"Darth Rigatoni" repeatedly attacked his rival's legs in the trilogy bout while he hunted for the finish. He couldn't find it, but his work rate was enough for the judges to award him the unanimous decision in the end.

Elsewhere on the card, ONE debutants Halil Amir and Ilya Freymanov received US$50K bonuses for finishing their respective opponents in impressive fashion.
