The first women's title fight in ONE Championship history ended up being an instant classic. In a frenetic battle that featured a buffet of scrambles and wild submission attempts, 19-year-old Angela Lee took everything Mei Yamaguchi had and kept on coming to capture the inaugural ONE atomweight strap with a unanimous decision victory over the Japanese veteran in the main event of ONE Championship 42 at the Singapore Indoor Stadium on Friday night.
Lee (6-0) is one of ONE‘s brightest prospects, but Yamaguchi (15-9) has been in the fight game for over a decade and she was up for the test, taking the early advantage by driving Lee to the ground with a quick single leg.
