the expectation of a nation on her shoulder all of singapore hoping she will become the first world champion what an amazing cinderella story the former choir girl turned professional combat athlete once again at the top of the world and she got there greatly thanks to her brazilian yeah michael it has been so impressive to watch tiffany teal work her way back up the ladder she disposed avaya commuter in beautiful fashion but then what she did to michelle nicolini the way she shut down the game plan of the bjj world champion was truly impressive zhang jinan took tiffany teo's o it felt like part of her soul left her body she thought about retiring she thought that was it for her but she didn't she believed she could climb back up the mountain and now she has a shot at redemption now she has a chance to not only capture the world title michael but she's got a chance to avenge her loss to the only woman to ever defeat her i'm excited about this one and i know the lambert family is also excited about this one too tiffany teo composed she says she's ready this is the woman who brought the age of china to one championship the first ever chinese one championship world champion zhang tremendous punching power a former member of the chinese national boxing team she planted the flag on top of the everest of the martial arts world can she maintain the title against her foe tiffany woman [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] and defending one woman's [Music] a scary power laden champion stops her way to the one circle the gold over her shoulder she's taking her time she's enjoying this she's psyching herself up this is a woman who does not pick opponents apart there's no methodical strategy with she is hell-bent on finishing everyone in front of her three successful title defenses so far can she make it four in a row what an utterly dominant champion she has been the power in her hand is off the train yeah michael she has reigned over the straw weight division with an iron fist her beatdowns have entertained millions across the globe but she's become more than just a wild striker now she has a clean technique and you can watch her game plan unveil like an artist unveiling a beautiful painting she has tremendous skill sets and i'm really interested to see how she has evolved at evolve mixed martial arts now she is surrounded by world champions in every discipline how has that translated into this matchup in the first match tiffany joe gave her a hard time in the first round but zhang just turned it up level after level until that fourth round where tiffany toe just couldn't take it anymore mitch we talked about how tiffany teo has just come along and leaps and bound since that loss almost three years ago she's gone 2-0 and she has just ripped those two opponents apart but likewise zhong jin nan still undefeated here at straw weight and she has torn people to pieces she is a different breed than she was three years ago she's far more powerful far more scary and so many more options available to her now especially on the ground and that's gonna be the big question mark it's gonna be what's gonna happen if this thing hits the ground on the feet we know zhang is a beast but what about the ground game where tiffany excels it's a mixed martial arts world title showdown even in the height contrast in the styles let's go to tom low and now ladies and gentlemen this next match is five rounds of five minutes for the one women's strawweight world championship this match is presented to you by xbox power your dreams introducing

yuji shimana sit up [Music] this is title fight no headbutt quarter growing queen fight fight touch girl tiffany chio thought about quitting when she lost to zhong jin 9 in 2018 but she didn't she sharpened her teeth scored back-to-back wins and here she is in a match that will be repeat or revenge zhang jin nan is there a scarier female on the planet no there is not zhong is the stuff of nightmares how fitting this rematch happens on a halloween eve trick or treat time ceo looking to become the first ever singaporean world champion chongqin the first ever chinese world champion let's talk to outside sidekick from the championship [Applause] tio's been working on her striking we know her ground game is outstanding zhang jin nan the boxing skills her body shot tremendous power that's the one that she used to start the ending of angela lee left hook doubles up into zhang jin 9 cuts off the counterclockwise movement of tiffany jean going on the hunt early staying busy bouncing up and down the balls of her feet good outside fire kick from the chat it'll be interesting to watch how tiffany deals with the speed of zhang jing non you can see they're just operating at just different gears right now i like the way zhang is putting the punches together with those leg kicks tiffany's gonna have to step in and commit a little bit earn the respect of zhang the underdog and she knows she's the underdog she accepts she's the underdog she likes being the underdog tiffany teo she says i'm david and zhang is goliath and we all know what happened there edging forward zhang looking very relaxed though moving well striking well tiffany does have the rich advantage those telescopic arms of the challenger here in singapore these days out of the evolve mma body head straight right hand down the center back to center circle tiffany's doing a good job of defending so far she's got that long guard she keeps the hands out she doesn't have to worry about keeping her fists closed because she is kind of poking at the you know the face there a little bit of zhang jin na jung tina is finding her rhythm she's trying to adjust to that distance that tiffany [Music] and let tiffany even into this contest a minuscule amount drops the lead hand to the body tiffany though just tipping her toes into the proverbial water zhong trying to test the jaw of the challenger flicking jab to outside the leg kick from tiffany no signs of going to ground yet i like the adjustment that jianjina is making when she does try to close that distance and try to flurry at tiffany teo she's moving her head alongside that guard so as tiffany extends her arm you can see zhang trying to pivot around and bob and weave up underneath it so she can land shots frankie may have lifted out a little too long luckily though jean couldn't tie it up circles off clockwise does tiffany resets very big difference in guards here the open palms of tiffany teo the fists of zhong jin naan flicking jab from tiffany jab again no attempted to take down from tiffany overhand right once more the money shot pajong body to head zhong that beautiful turning left both hand here they're really defending quite well lots of movement but i'm also impressed with the speed of t.o this is the faster tiffany tto than we've seen in the past and we are hearing the quarter of zhang saying combinations more combinations they figure that if she throws three four or five one's gonna land clean one may do the job usually with zhong one is all it takes that jab is starting to score for t.o jio starting to touch her on the chin she's understanding the distance in the range zhong's still trying to close in on that distance i like that laid kick though coming from zhang jin nan the further this match goes on without tiffany taking any real punishment the more her confidence will rise and you've got to have confidence against strong you can't go in there seeking guessing you can't go in there doubting yourself once you show any doubt once you show any fear zhong will capitalize into the first round we go to the tower big hello to all of our fans watching live around the world here in singapore supporting tiffany teo hello to jonathan chong also in australia brendan mcguinness and in the canary islands there's one a big hello to jack queen yeah but in the first match michael we saw tiffany thiel perform very well inside the first round she was able to maintain that distance but this is where zhang jin nag really starts to level up her game she starts to really apply that pressure and this is going to be a very important round for tiffany teo mitch they had the end swell under the right eye zhong and she said to the cat man no don't put maybe she doesn't want people messing with her face i don't know i usually you want to suppress some of that that the swelling but maybe she thinks she's fine and she doesn't need it so it looks like maybe a small cut on the left eyebrow of tiffany tio and they were going to work on her forehead they were starting to go to work under the right eye of zhong the champion but she said no take the cold press away the corners of course are like a pit crew in a formula one race they've got only a minute to go to work on their respective athlete get them back into shape address any damage it's been done give them instructions and send them back out onto the course left hook double left hook three punch combination again from john listening to her corner they want the combinations from the champion you can see zhang's got a little bit more intention inside this second round but tiffany's still doing a good job of protecting herself especially when she's going back she keeps that right hand glued to her face extends the left hand and jung hasn't really found an answer for it i'd like to see her mix up and start attacking those legs again she was doing real well with that in the first round dragon at what stage does tiffany need to take this down i think once she starts getting touched up once zhang really starts laying into her and starts beating on her then she's gonna have to change her game plan but right now she's not doing so bad she's doing a good job of maintaining a lot of this engagement inside these exchanges if i remember three years ago zhang heard tiffany with the body shot but tonight we've seen jon go far more to the jaw and the temple rather than back to the body of the challenger you know zhang is does a beautiful job at mixing up her targets but right now she is head hunting she is trying to knock teo out you can hear the corner saying let's go she's weakening let's go to zhongjun tiffany takes a leg kick that momentarily dropped into the junior flick position that's the leg kicks that she needs zhang needs to mix up the weapon she just can't head hunt it's tiffany that needs to throw the leg kicks on zhong one way to slow down the boxing of your opponent is to sling the legs you hurt the legs you lower the power in their hands because all good punching starts at the feet and rises through the body before it exits through the knuckles you see the cup opening up a little over the left eye of tiffany now you hear the corner of zhong saying go to the body they want to change levels as much said she's been headhunting they want to see her go downstairs now donkey knight has a very unique overhand right it looks like a giant overhand like she's swinging a baseball bat at your head mitch it's strange because she doesn't kill the knuckles over sometimes the overhand right turns into almost a hammer fist at the end but it's a great way to score it also protects your hand too those little gloves man you can bust up your knuckles a little bit especially when you hear the force but that's what she's connecting with that's what she's touching the head with that you can see the swelling on her left eye it's coming from that [Applause] i'm getting right back up and she's got double underhooks how they'd love to see a singaporean finally crowned a world champion see michael you asked me when was tio gonna go for the takedown when was she going to try to get it to the ground right when jongji not leveled up and started touching her up on the face we started smacking her with that overhand and then you could see joe was like i've had enough of that let's go to my world let's take this thing down and see what you got on the ground bit of a sacrifice there she's going after a kimura right now she can use this as a possible sweep not just a submission but you can see zhang's got to keep her hands together because tio's trying to attack that left arm of zhang kimura body shot there from zhong the champion who has been so dominant in the stand up but this is the territory where tiffany theo excelled joe's got to try to get jungkook away from her body as long as zhang can keep her arm nice and tight there it's going to be hard for her to really do anything but she can sweep her she can't use that arm to pull her over to another side can she make history once more tiffany she does have the most wins in one straw weight history the most bounce in one straw weight history little known fact she's also a family singapore boxing champion so no slouch in the stand up though she does prefer the ground she's abandoning the kimura but she's doing a good job at defending with her legs keeping that space so jean wasn't able to land on any ground and pound now she's in the guard she's got a very active guard right now she's just trying to keep her nice and tight to avoid a little more of that grounding pound back in november 2018 ceo did defeat multi-time world bjj champion michelle nicollini john is just so aggressive [Applause] [Applause] let's take a look at this overhand she's dinging her over and over again see how she's hitting her like she throws it like she's throwing a baseball at your face and she doesn't quite turn the knee to turn the knuckles over she hits you with all different portions of her hand as she's doing it she's doing it multiple times but that's what i like i like the leg kicks i love the work she's doing with her hands but i really like those leg kicks that's really gonna make tio a stationary target now there you see the cold press under the eye of tiffany and they're going to work on the eyebrow as well no cold press on the face of john there's an ice pack just beneath her chin some swelling under the champion's right eye but certainly the more damage occurred by the challenger tiffany inside the singapore indoor stadium live crowd in attendance a limited live crowd but it's great to have them here to hear the noise again the cheering and the clapping and we thank the singapore government for hosting us for helping to keep us all safe and healthy so we could bring you this magnificent event chong opens up with a left hook overhand right chin tucked looking through the brow is the champion [Applause] front kick nicely done there from tiffany jab flicking out you hear the corner of tiffany saying good jab good jab hunt kick there from the challenger jean getting ready to pull the trigger packs overhand right again from the champion four minutes 15 seconds third round of five world championship contest overhand right to left hook from zhong jin man but i think what this is doing especially in the first two rounds is it gets tiffany thiel paying attention to her head you can hear her coach start mixing up your targets and that's what zhongjinan is going to start to do she's going to start to look to it i bet to start to attack in the body and start to break tio down there's that leg kick again resets here you can hear the corner again of zhong saying more punches let's go they want the combination work that was doing so well for her in the previous two rounds tiffany's still trying to push forward jung's trying to wait for her moment to arise before she starts to let those hands go again you can hear her coaches screaming for the combinations tiffany gets out of the way though overhand right so much expectation on the challenger to become the first singapore native world champion what a moment it would be to do it in singapore inside the mega singapore indoor stadium but there is plenty of work ahead of tiffany teo the great underdog story the former choir girl who would ever have thought when she was 10 years old singing choirs that one day she'd be the number one ranked straw weight martial artist on the planet i like it when zhang puts combinations together she's right now she's just winging one shot at a time i'd like to start putting two three things together and then start planning with those leg kicks now she's starting to go to the body a little bit nice little head kick landed by t.o there young just smiles at her yeah you got me let's go with my turn beautiful hook could apply the pressure in the boxing as i said [Applause] national boxing team member tiffany knows the power respects the power in the hands of zhong but says on the ground i have the upper hand starting to level up we're watching it unfold you can see here's trying to put that pressure on tio's got to change things up i'd like to see her start shooting for some takedowns just give junk something else to think about nice kick taste of the toes then see when it's just the hands jeong is fine to see it coming and touch her up but when it was those kicks those are that's two kicks this round that have landed successfully for t.o it's also the extension it's the reach on those legs look how long the legs are of tiffany look at the difference where their hips hit how high the hips are the waist is compared to john the legs are just so lengthy that that's the hard distance to gauge for zhong when those legs to the body and you can see her start sticking that jab right there she's starting to mix up her targets not just attacking the letter not just the head going to the legs going to the body jab two from the champion loading into that guy's hand as always where's that very peculiar but effective almost hammerfist strike off the right high kick from tiffany the corner of told her to up the kicking arsenal you can hear them say up kick it's not a front kick it's a punt kick almost like kicking a football a soccer ball they believe maybe she can tuck it under the chin there she goes with it again as opposed to a front kick where you're splaying the toes and driving the ball the foot into your opponent see tio starting to think about changing stances jung's got to keep going to that leg because tiffany's still moving quite well this the first of four world title matches on tonight's historic card never before have we had four world titles on one night into the round big hello to all of our fans emma walton in johannesburg south africa and crystal ball sun chairs in chile there's joe pushing forward there was that nice little head kick landed by zhang and she's like all right let's make this a war let's go look at her boom touches her right with the toes to the cheeks of zhongzi na but zhongjina is really doing quite well in the stand-up exchanges i'd like to see tiffany teo mix things up go after the takedowns get her inside the clinch start giving jianji not something else to think about than just the striking as the orbitals are beginning to swell on zhang jin nan shuri sings the cold presses he saw mitch they're putting the ice packs on the athletes just below the chin at the top of the neck what is the purpose of that what are they trying to achieve there looks like they're just trying to cool them down that's what the ice is going to do it's just going to kind of relax you cool you down a little bit every corner is going to have a different strategy for it and also every athlete is going to be a little bit different they're going to like certain things like not wanting to end swell on her eyes we've all got different habits and things we prefer penultimate round we come down to the business end of this magnificent championship contest for the one straw weight world title nice turning back kick a little airborne on it too did zhong jin man tiffany has sustained nowhere near the damage he did almost three years ago in their first match getting out of the way of that overhand right now you see zhong cutting off the movement of the challenger throws out that left hook not connecting nor so the right hand but her defense is a lot better than it was the first time and also her stamina and cardio is much better than the first match at this point in time zhang was basically a punching bag she was just standing there and zheng was teeing off on her now she's light on her feet she's got constant movement she's trying to circle to the weak side of zhang and really still in this match throwing those leg kicks i like those leg kicks from both these ladies you've got to figure that if tiffany teo can go to the fifth round it will really serve her confidence tremendously because it was in the fourth round that zhang stopped her in their first match psychologically to get through the fourth if not finished strong in the fourth herself but to get through the fourth into the fifth will just boost her confidence there she goes throwing that overhand she's trying to understand that distance but teal's doing a good job of evading that overhand right 79 of fans on the one super app chipping a win for zhong jin nan tiffany ceo is still here and giving a good account of herself gets out of the way the leg kick there that overhand right is almost her way of getting close to t.o because she's having a hard time closing that distance but that overhand right gives her that advantage that ability to do so this is where teo needs to be super fans live inside the singapore indoor stadium tonight supporting the singaporean native in her quest to become a world champion tiffany be interesting to see if joe can get this to the ground this is her shot and she needs to change the complexion of this match right now zhang's having her way but she's doing a good job he's doing a beautiful job of defending the one who led the chinese charge on one championship the first of a chinese world champion they want to see her retain in this her fourth title defense and what a supreme champion zhong jin naan has been front kick there from zhong drips off to her right [Applause] the swelling under the right eye of zhang becoming prominent now tiffany's got a target to go after with that long jab those almost telescopic arms overhand right from john three-punch combination from the champion it's always that hammerfist style right hand now from john yeah she's throwing it but you can hear the corner of t.o trying to say you have to counter that but it's hard the way that she throws it and you can see that tf2 has to back up to avoid it what would the best count to be image to an overhand rock if she misses it like she could she could step in and throw that left hand hook or she could just lean back and throw that knee but she's not because the distance isn't there because zhang's keeping her on her back foot like that so it's hard for her to really do anything is it a technique that chong is going to the she's definitely throwing it a lot and she's throwing it over and over again if tio can actually you can see how heavy she is on that lead foot if tio can sweep out that front foot of zhang she might lose her balance a little bit and could set up a possible takedown but she's having a hard time with the speed of zhang jin nan shong is just so well rounded as are all the athletes [Music] but the speed not failing at all as the rounds progress left hook to right hand nicely done there from zhong throws the right hand lead [Applause] it's been a good round for the champion still moving on the balls of her feet as tiffany edges forward throws a head kick overhand right again from zhong we are going into the fifth and final in canada jack in toronto is watching live in wales in the uk ethan harris is watching live in england harry and manchester is watching live we hope you're enjoying all the action of one championship inside the matrix that overhand right is just a trip hammer i would like to see tio maybe double up on the jab because she's landing with the first one but there's just nothing else she can do if she doubles up on the jab tio we know that julia's going to throw that overhand right but if she doubles up on the jab it's going to be there because for that split second she's going to be open but the problem is strong has such a speed advantage over tl okay all the damage around the left eye of tiffany chio that we're going to work on it with the vaseline with the end swell also under the right eye of zhong they were using the cold press there but still tiffany thio is here she hasn't been here before never into a fifth round john stopped her in the fourth round almost three years ago and tiffany will have her confidence boosted by that why not let's see what tiffany will be a fairy tale ending for the cinderella story the singapore native or will the continued reign of gold be for zhang it is scored as an overall contest to feel that tiffany would have to finish zhong to win at this stage yeah because we're watching zhang jin na slowly build up a lead in the category of striking superiority she's just touching her a little bit more than tio is able to land on her and so at this point in time tio needs a finish she needs to get this match to the ground she's not i don't know if she's gonna be able to knock out zhongjinan unless she catches a knee as she's coming in she could do that but for the most part she's going to have to take junk down and submit her that shot to the neck there from zhang jin nan off the right hand sticky jab overhand right you see again the speed the combinations of zhong doing everything right you cannot rule out tiffany tio she will not wave the white flag she won't go quietly into the knights here especially [Applause] that was a good little combination landed by tio she got the kick cop but she came right back with the right hand and landed there you can see jean kind of acknowledging every time tio is able to touch her here looks like they're probably having a problem with the hand wraps everything looks to be good zhang jina is ready to go [Applause] now is she on the way to retaining the world title tries to shoot tiffany overhand right left hook straight right hand from zhong more combinations than a but it gives her something to think about besides just the stand up stand up that's jung's world she loves throwing hands she's so comfortable you can just see how comfortable she is in the striking exchange but it's when tio mixes up the weapons goes after the takedowns gives her something else to think about and not just be so comfortable striking overhand ride from zhong circles counterclockwise the champion three overhand right combination right hand's copped and ready to go there it is again from zhong time against tiffany now 245 remains pipped in final round will zhong jung retain in her new home [Applause] singapore [Applause] trying to tempt tiffany forward chad to overhand right tiffany locks up with her now crowd responding as tiffany lands the knees two five remaining now for tiffany the knees are scoring forward you're gonna take [Applause] good job by tiffany toyota get this down that's exactly what i was talking about give zhong something else to worry about and now this is tr's opportunity she's got a minute like she's got 100 seconds to put it on zone with good elevation to create the scramble now she's gonna start working our way back up but those knees are scoring michael right [Applause] here [Applause] a thrilling final two minutes we've seen good that's good [Applause] straight right [Applause] it's been a beautiful contest it's been clean great technique overhand right from zhong half a minute now outside high kick john almost leaned into it crowd loving it in singapore under 20 seconds now what a final round between two warriors [Applause] [Music] that was incredible that was dog that was tiffany tio's best round she was doing very well mixing in the takedown attempts and when she was doing that she was having a lot more success in the striking there's three piece beautiful knees look at that digging into the ribs but then she was able to score that trip take down end up at the guard do a little bit of ground and pound and then it just kind of changed the overall direction of that match you can see jung was getting touched and timmy till just kept putting it on her what a completely different story look at that right hand avoids the counter beautifully done from both these ladies and we're going to the judge's scorecards michael have you scored folks wherever you're watching around the world let us know on social media give us a follow at one championship on facebook twitter instagram and youtube tiffanyto [Music] all three judges

Tiffany sporting the Rose look. She's made a noticeable improvement since their last match-up.
