Angela Lee ’s dual-championship hopes will have to wait. Lee (9-0), who’s currently ONE Championship’s atomweight titleholder, was set to challenge Jing Nan Xiong (13-1) for the promotion’s strawweight belt in the headliner of Friday’s ONE Championship 83 event, but a back injury has forced her out of the card. ONE Championship CEO Chatri Sityodtong announced the news on his Facebook page Sunday and said it was his call to pull the fighter, despite her reluctance. “If it was up to her, she would still compete this week, even if it meant walking into the cage on crutches,” Sityodtong said
