Although Phogat beat Heqin, she had narrowly lost to Nguyen in May. However, the Indian feels that regardless of the result, she won the clash.
Consequently, she has the feeling that she deserves to be in the Grand Prix, which is likely to commence from September 3 at the ONE CHAMPIONSHIP: EMPOWER event. However, it remains to be seen if the promotion indeed puts her name in the GP.
