She moved up in weight to attempt to become the first woman in One Championship to win a world title in multiple weight classes. It was the first professional loss for the 22-year-old Lee (9-1, 9-1), who is the organization’s 115-pound world champion. “When it came to the fifth round, I just didn’t have anything left in the tank. “I put it all on the line and gave it all I had in that fourth round, trying to finish her with the triangle/armbar,” Lee said as part of a statement she released on social media. Jing Nan put her on the cage with more punches and the referee stopped the fight at 1 minute, 37 seconds before Lee was knocked down.
