Former ONE Champ Angela Lee Considered UFC Move: ‘It’s Crossed My Mind’

Angela Lee can’t help but wonder how she would have fared in the UFC.

Lee became the youngest fighter in MMA history to win a world title, claiming the ONE atomweight championship at 19 years old via a unanimous decision victory over Mei Yamaguchi in 2016. In the years that followed, ‘Unstoppable’ became one of the most exciting fighters on the roster, delivering a series of instant classics, including an iconic trilogy with Xiong Jing Nan and an absolute banger against her eventual successor, Stamp Fairtex, at ONE Championship’s 10th-anniversary event in Singapore.

She successfully defended her atomweight crown on five separate occasions and twice competed for the strawweight world title.
