Victoria joins ONE

Another Lee sibling would be competing in the ONE Championship to test her mixed martial arts (MMA) skills against world-class competitors.

ONE chairman and chief executive officer Chatri Sityodtong announced that Victoria Lee, the 16-year-old sister of fighters Angela Lee and Christian Lee, would be seeing action in the atomweight division of the prestigious tournament.

Victoria is considered as one of the rising starts in the sport.

Victoria is a part of this next generation that has been born and raised with MMA as a whole.

In fact, she is the 2019 International Mixed Martial Arts world champion, two-time titlist of the Pankration Juniors World Tournament, supremo of the 2019 Hawaii State Wrestling Championship, and a 15-time winner of the North American Grappling Association Expert Championship.

Angela — the ONE World atomweight champion — said Victoria is already better than her.

“Mixed martial arts is meant to evolve and we as athletes must adapt and evolve with it,” she said.

“Victoria is a part of this next generation that has been born and raised with MMA as a whole.”

Victoria said she draws inspiration from the success of her older siblings on top of the ONE cage.

“Inspired by watching my older brother and sister compete in the biggest stage of martial arts competition, I am ready to take my career to the next level and compete with the world’s best martial artists.”
