Xiong Jing Nan’s Joy Over ONE Championship’s Growing Popularity in the U.S.
In recent years, Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) has captured the attention of sports enthusiasts worldwide. Among the rising stars in this high-octane realm is the reigning women’s ONE strawweight MMA champion, Xiong Jing Nan. A veritable force in the ring, Xiong has been making waves not just in her home country but also on the international scene.

This anticipated development promises to bring her prowess and the electrifying intensity of MMA to an even broader audience.
Stat of the Day: Loss Streaks after Win Streaks
After recently realizing that Tony Ferguson had won 12 straight fights, and then lost 6 straight… I started to think, has something like this ever happened before in Pro MMA? And then I started to wonder if anything WORSE than this had happened?
Though, it is tough to grade “worse” in this case. If a fighter wins 15 straight, then loses 6, that’s probably worse. But what if they won 8, then lost 8, is that worse? You get my point.
Here are some good finds…
- Kevin Asplund has a mighty impressive case, winning 15 straight, then dropping 5, then winning 1, then dropping 5 more in a row.
- Allan Zuniga may actually beat Tony, if you count his fight in TUF 22. His career is especially weird, where he starts out at 13-0, loses the TUF fight, then loses 5 pro fights and has not fought since.
- Mitsuhisa Sunabe has an active streak to watch. He won 16 in a row before his current 4 fight losing streak.
- How about Johnnie Roades? This guy won 6 straight, then lost 11 in a row!
Did I miss anyone? Let me know in the comments!

3 Must-Read Martial Arts Books in 2023
