In a rematch four years in the making, Xia Li defeated Mercedes Martinez to get payback for her loss in the first round of the inaugural Mae Young Classic. 

Li targeted the injured midsection of Mercedes throughout the matchup. In a critical moment, Li missed her target outside the ring and drove her leg into the unforgiving steel ring post to even the playing field. Nevertheless, Li used a nasty kick to her opponent’s jaw to pick up the victory.

Martinez turned the tables on Li when her ruthless adversary attempted to use the chair after the bell. When she came toe-to-toe with a rising Mei Ying outside the ring, however, Martinez was grabbed by the face and hurled into the ringside plexiglass.
