Pacio feels that Xiong has the experience on her side to fend off the challenge posed by her Japanese counterpart.
“For me, Xiong Jing Nan is already tested. She’s already fought Angela [Lee], [Michelle] Nicolini, and the like. Experience will certainly be on her side. Miura, on the other hand, will find ways to submit you especially if she controls you,” Pacio said.
He further went on to add that if Xiong manages to defend the takedowns of Miura, she can dominate the fight.
“However, I believe Xiong is the more well-rounded fighter, and if she can defend Miura’s attempts, then she’ll dominate this fight and maybe finish it around round three or four,” he added.
Pacio’s teammate Lito Adiwang also went with Xiong for the match when former ONE Heavyweight champion Brandon Vera had a similar pick.
