ONE Championship has released Vietnamese-American atomweight Bi Nguyen, the Post has learned.
The 32-year-old “Killer Bee” (6-8) has not fought since a unanimous decision loss to China’s Lin Heqin in February, which prompted her to hint at making a change.
Nguyen later said in a reply on Twitter to the Post that she had asked for her release from the global martial arts promotion.
“I’m grateful for my time with ONE Championship,” she wrote. “I’ve asked for a release and ONE agreed. I am working on some new things.”
Nguyen later added in an Instagram post that she was “getting ready for a new chapter in my career”, and quashed any notion of retirement.
“You guys, I’m about to cry because all I got were messages saying you would follow me anywhere and everywhere and you’re excited to see me fight,” she said in a video posted on her Instagram story.
