The first ONE Championship card of 2022 will see women’s strawweight champion Xiong Jing Nan put her title on the line against Ayaka Miura.

On Monday, ONE Championship officials announced the full Heavy Hitters card via press release. The event, which will take place on January 14, will be broadcast live from the promotion’s home base at the Singapore Indoor Stadium.

Jing Nan (16-2) has held ONE’s strawweight championship since 2018, defending the belt five times. Her only loss since that time came against Angela Lee, in an attempt to claim a second title at atomweight.

Among her notable wins, “The Panda” has victories over Lee (in their first meeting for ONE’s strawweight title), Tiffany Teo, and Michelle Nicolini.

Ayaka Miura (11-3, 1NC) is coming off a submission win against Rayane Bastos earlier this year. Since arriving in ONE Championship, she’s posted a 4-1 record to date. Previously, Japan’s Miura competed for Pancrase and DEEP Jewels.

In the co-main event on January 14, 2022 will be a second title fight. That will see light heavyweight kickboxing champ Roman Kryklia put his title on the line against Murat Aygun.
