Singapore\u2019s Tiffany ‘No Chill’\u00a0<\/span>Teo<\/span><\/a> (7-1) makes her highly-anticipated return to action on Friday, November 9 at <\/span>ONE: HEART OF THE LION<\/span><\/a>. Teo will face off against Brazilian jiu-jitsu legend Michelle Nicolini in a strawweight bout that could have significant title implications going forward.<\/span><\/p>\n

Both women are without question two of the best athletes competing in ONE Championship\u2019s women\u2019s strawweight division. A victory for either Teo or Nicolini would go a long way in helping the winner build their case for a future crack at the title.<\/span><\/p>\n

Teo’s most recent appearance was back in January at <\/span>ONE: KINGS OF COURAGE<\/span><\/a>, where she fell to eventual champion ‘The Panda’ Xiong Jing Nan in the inaugural ONE women\u2019s strawweight world title bout.<\/span><\/p>\n

It was a gutsy performance from the Singaporean, who refused to take a backward step against the hard-hitting Chinese athlete.<\/span><\/p>\n

The bout was called in Xiong\u2019s favor after being waved off in the fourth round by referee Olivier Coste, but the heart that Teo showed that night is a memory that will live on in the minds of those who witnessed the encounter.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI still knew what I was doing, and I was still aware of what was going on around me, so I just kept going. I felt like there was still a chance for me to win even though I was on the lower end of the scorecards,\u201d<\/em> Teo said in a recent<\/span> interview with ONE<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Following the loss, Teo\u2019s team advised the 28-year-old to take a moment to pause and regroup before leaping straight back into competition.<\/span><\/p>\n

The extended break gave her body time to heal and recover as well allowing her to \u201clevel-up\u201d her already formidable abilities.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI feel like I\u2019ve recovered well and even before I knew that this match [with Nicolini] was coming, I started training a little bit more and focusing more on jiu-jitsu.\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Teo and her team have been wise in deciding to work on No Chill\u2019s ground game. Nicolini is one of the most decorated submission experts currently competing under the ONE banner. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

An eight-time BJJ world champion, the 36-year-old has \u201cbeen there, done that and bought the t-shirt\u201c when it comes to the world of competitive grappling.<\/span><\/p>\n

Always looking for a way to challenge herself Nicolini made her professional mixed martial arts debut in 2001.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In 2016 she made her first appearance inside the ONE cage and so far she has yet to taste defeat when competing in the world\u2019s largest martial arts organization.<\/span><\/p>\n

Nicolini has made it clear that she would like to add the title of “ONE women\u2019s strawweight champion” to her already impressively credentialed martial arts resume.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI am hoping to compete for the title soon,\u201d <\/span>Nicolini <\/span><\/a>said in March following her <\/span>win over Iryna Kyselova<\/span><\/a> at ONE: VISIONS OF VICTORY.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhenever ONE decides, I will be ready to compete for it. Xiong Jing Nan just got the belt [last January], and that is what I want more than anything.\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

For the immediate future, the focus for each athlete will remain squarely on their upcoming opponent.<\/span><\/p>\n

Teo\u2019s Muay Thai based stand-up game is more than capable of causing problems for Nicolini, just as the Brazilian\u2019s grappling skills offer an equally difficult challenge to Teo.<\/span><\/p>\n

However it unfolds, fans will be in for quite a show when the cage doors close.<\/span><\/p>\n
