Wrestler-turned-Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) fighter Ritu Phogat continued her dominating run at the ONE Championship, beating debutante Wu Chiao Chen of China at the ONE: KING OF THE JUNGLE at the Singapore Indoor Stadium here on Friday.

The Chinese, who has an 8-0 record as an amateur in MMA and has been a former JJIF Asian Jiu-Jitsu Championship gold medallist, was no match for the determined Indian in a heavily one-sided women's atomweight contest.

"Winning my second match at ONE Championship has been a very good feeling and my confidence level has been boosted further," said Phogat after her win.

"I would like to thank my coaches and my Indian supporters watching. My goal of becoming India's first MMA world champion is still a long way away but I will keep working with a lot of dedication to reach that."
