‘The Indian Tigress’ used her elite wrestling skills to defeat Filipino standout Jenelyn Olsim and Chinese striker Meng Bo in ONE Women’s Atomweight World Grand Prix Championship, setting the stage for a clash against Stamp Fairtex in the tournament final. However, the Commonwealth Wrestling gold medalist suffered a shocking first-round submission loss to the Muay Thai star.
After being stopped for the first time in her MMA career, Phogat will certainly carry a massive chip on her shoulder as she welcomes Tiffany Teo to the division.
For Teo, a win over Phogat will put the atomweight division on notice and hopefully break her into the top five. Singaporean said that was the entire motivation for calling out ‘The Indian Tigress’ in the first place.
In an interview with ONE Championship just days out from their upcoming clash, Tiffany Teo revealed that she called out Phogat because she was in the atomweight top five at the time.
Unfortunately, that is not the case anymore, but ‘No Chill’ still believes a strong win over Phogat should get her into the rankings regardless.
Tiffany Teo is not impressed with Ritu Phogat’s mixed martial arts skills
Since her ONE Championship debut in 2019, Ritu Phogat has utilized her high-level wrestling to snag seven victories inside the circle and a spot in the Atomweight World Grand Prix finals. Despite, all of her accomplishments, Tiffany Teo is not impressed with the overall skills that ‘The Indian Tigress’ brings to the cage.
In an interview with ONE Championship, ‘No Chill’ was complimentary of Phogat’s wrestling ability. However, she does not believe the Indian scrapper has evolved to incorporate other aspects of her game that are needed to compete in the world of MMA.
