By Sun Xiaochen | China Daily | Updated: 2018-07-10 07:14

Title-winning performances by Chinese women are making a strong statement on the rise of female fighters in a sport that places overwhelming emphasis on masculinity.

The 23-year-old channeled Muhammad Ali's fabled footwork en route to sending a strong message to the swelling female fanbase for the combat sport in Asia.
