An average of four fights per year is a great activity rate for any fighter. For one Lin Heqin, that rate applies to her run from 2015 to 2019.
The 27-year old Chinese prospect hasn't fought since, however, with her last fight coming in her ONE Championship debut as part of the 115-pound atomweight division. Lin felt the need for a good rest period to recover from some injuries due to the high fight frequency. Additionally, it's given her time to gain a stronger overall physique through her strength training while honing some fancy new jiu-jitsu skills we hadn't been accustomed to seeing earlier on.
"I want to be active again because no matter my body, my mental preparation is all ready," Lin told MyMMANews. "So right now I want as many fights as possible because I want that title shot.
"[My last fight] was my very first time winning by way of submission. I was so pumped, so excited. I'm used to using a stand-up fighting strategy but I know that's far from what a professional MMA fighter [should do] so I've been working hard on my ground control strengths. It all paid off, I got the triangle choke in that debut so me and my team were all so excited."
