ONE Championship: Victoria Lee ‘can’t accept’ Angela Lee saying 16-year-old sister better at same age
- ‘The Prodigy’ makes her professional MMA debut at Fists of Fury on February 26 in Singapore
- ‘I do have some big shoes to fill,’ says Victoria, whose older brother Christian also holds ONE gold
When Victoria Lee signed with ONE Championship last September, Angela Lee said her 16-year-old sister is actually better than she was at the same age.
The latest siblingfrom the family production line out of their United MMA gym in Hawaii under the guidance of dad Ken, Victoria will finally make her debut at ONE: Fists of Fury in Singapore on February 26.
It was some praise coming from “Unstoppable” (10-2), ONE’s atomweight champion, who became the youngest woman to win a world title aged 20 in 2016. But “The Prodigy” was humble in response.
“No way, no way,” Victoria told SCMP MMA. “My sister, she’s very … no. She’s way better than me, I can’t accept that.”
Victoria will open up next Friday’s stacked card against Sunisa “Thunderstorm” Srisen (4-1). The Thai is 1-1 in the Asian martial arts promotion, losing her debut to Stamp Fairtex (5-1) but beating Rika Ishige (4-4) last September.
