ONE Championship: Angela Lee admits she ‘felt like throwing up’ after training for first time since giving birth
- Atomweight champ opens up on physical and mental challenges of hitting the mats again at family’s United MMA Hawaii gym
- ‘I know my body is still far from fight shape … it’s so easy to focus on and criticise all the things that I don’t like right now,’ Lee says
ONE Championship atomweight champ Angela Lee has begun her journey back to fighting after training for the first time since giving birth to her daughter in April.
“Unstoppable” Lee (10-2) announced her pregnancy with husband and fellow ONE fighter Bruno Pucci last September, with the 24-year-old originally set to return in November this year.
“Today I was super excited and motivated to get back on the mats but also a little bit nervous!” Lee wrote in an Instagram post, alongside pictures of her training at the family-owned United MMA Hawaii gym. “Like everything I post, I’m going to be completely honest and transparent about my post-partum journey and about making my way back to the cage!”
“They grew so much since the last time we trained together!” she said of her siblings.
