In an interview with Inside Fighting, Angela Lee discussed her evolution as a fighter during her two years away from the promotion after becoming pregnant with her daughter Ava Marie.

At ONE’s 10th-anniversary showcase ONE X, Angela Lee returned in spectacular fashion, scoring a second-round submission victory over No.1-contender Stamp Fairtex. Lee, who faced some early adversity in the first round, was able to weather the storm and turn the tables on the Thai challenger, adding another submission victory to her resume.

Angela Lee credits family support to the success she’s achieved

When Angela Lee signed with ONE Championship in 2015, she was straight out of high school with only a few amateur fights to her credit. Going from high school to traveling the world as a mixed martial artist on the global stage could be a daunting task for anyone, but Angela Lee believes she was able to rise to the challenge and become a world champion thanks to the support of her family.

In an interview with ONE Championship, she said that her family’s support helped guide her as a young MMA star. The support she received allowed her to enjoy the ride rather than stressing over the expectations that were being placed on her.
