Angela Lee Returns from Car Wreck, Rematches Mei Yamaguchi at May One Championship Card

A horrific car accident couldn’t beat Angela Lee. Now, One Championship’s 115-pound women’s champion is back to built on her undefeated record in a more convention way.

Thursday, One announced that Lee will defend her title in a rematch of the woman she won it against, Japanese veteran Mei Yamaguchi, at One Championship’s “Unstoppable Dreams.” The pair of strawweights - - atomweights under One’s weight class structure - - were scheduled to rematch on Nov. 24 of last year before a horrific car wreck took Lee out of the bout, and nearly her mortal coil, just over two weeks before the bout.
