At 20, undefeated ONE Championship atomweight champ Angela Lee already has seven professional MMA bouts, a title defense and a 2016 “Fight of the Year” candidate under her belt. The list is made all the more impressive by the fact that Lee, set to headline May 26’s ONE Championship 55 event at Singapore Indoor Stadium, got it all done in the less than a two-year period since her pro-MMA debut. With such a swift rise inside the cage came, inevitably, a spike in notoriety outside of it. “Everywhere that Angela goes in Asia, she still surprises me with how big her fanbase is,” ONE Championship CEO Victor Cui said during a media call ahead of the upcoming event in Kallang, Singapore. But as hard to grasp as her unique ride may be sometimes, the young champion herself seems to be taking it all in stride.
