Angela Lee faces Mei Yamaguchi to crown first-ever ONE women's champion

ONE Championship is set to crown its first-ever women's champion.

Top prospect Angela Lee will take on sturdy veteran Mei Yamaguchi for the 115-pound women's title at ONE: Ascent to Power on May 6 in Singapore, MMA Fighting confirmed Thursday with promotion officials. Singapore's The New Paper was the first to report the news.

Lee (5-0), one of the top female prospects in mixed martial arts, has won all five of her pro fights by submission, every single one of them with ONE. The Hawaii native is coming off a second-round neck crank victory over Rebecca Heintzman in February.
