Victoria Lee siblings and their MMA history

Angela Lee, aged 26, is the oldest child, followed by Christian, age 24, who is the reigning ONE Welterweight and Lightweight Champion. Late Victoria Lee, age 18, was the family’s third child. The fourth and final child is Adrian, who recently won an amateur MMA championship in the state where his family resides.

  • Victoria Lee

Long before Victoria was born, the Lee family relocated to Hawaii. She started practicing and competing when she was a small child because of her parents’ heritage. When she made her ONE Championship debut in February 2021 as a 16-year-old, she was the youngest competitor. Victoria twice won Hawaiian Pankration Junior World Champion. The native of Hawaii triumphed in each of her three matches in ONE.

  • Angele Lee

With her victory over Japan’s Mei Yamaguchi for the One women’s atomweight title in 2016, Angela Lee, at 19 years old, became the sport’s youngest fighter ever to win a global championship. Since then, she has defended her championship five times against competitors, including Thailand’s Stamp Fairtex and China’s Xiong Jingnan.

After a two-year absence and the birth of her first child, Ava Marie, Angela triumphantly returned to the ring in March 2022 and successfully defeated challenger Fairtex to defend her atomweight title. When a bout concluded in the second round with Fairtex submitting after Angela locked her in a rear-naked choke, she rejoiced with her daughter in the ring.

  • Christian Lee

Christian Lee, 24, competes in the ONE Championship’s Featherweight, Lightweight, and Welterweight categories. He is the current ONE Welterweight and Lightweight World Champion (for the second time). Christian has more victories than any other One athlete (17-4), and he has won 12 by knockout.

  • Adrian Lee

The Lee family’s youngest child, Adrian Lee, is already following in his older siblings’ footsteps in the MMA world. The 17-year-old prospect achieved the most significant sporting success when he submitted Sebastian Prangley to win an amateur MMA title at the Tough Man Hawaii tournament in Hilo. He used a guillotine choke in round two to finish off his opponent, Trevor Prangley’s son, an MMA veteran.
