5 potential opponents for Victoria Lee's next fight

#4. Gina 'Conviction' Iniong vs. Victoria Lee

If ONE Championship is seeking to steadily build Victoria Lee up, Gina Iniong would serve as the perfect step up in competition. At 32 years old, Iniong is a martial arts veteran with a professional record of 9-4, far more experienced than any of Victoria Lee’s prior opponents.

Coming from a background in Wushu, the Filipina athlete has shown a tendency to favor her striking for the majority of her bouts. The contrast between Iniong’s style and Victoria Lee’s creates a beautiful striker versus grappler clash, with the latter experiencing an unfamiliar level of advanced striking for the first time.

Of course, despite the increase in difficulty, the fight is very winnable for Victoria Lee, who has proven to be a legitimate threat on the ground with both submissions and strikes.

For Iniong, the lone instance in which she was finished came by way of a rear-naked choke back in 2014, creating an interesting dynamic within the potential fight.

#3. Bi 'Killer Bee' Nguyen vs. Victoria Lee

Undoubtedly the easiest inclusion on this list, Victoria Lee versus Bi Nguyen makes all the sense in the world for everyone involved.

For starters, Nguyen is one of the most recognizable names in the atomweight division. Her story of triumph through tragedy is about as heart-wrenching and inspiring as can be.

Combine that with Victoria Lee’s incredible ongoing story and you have two extremely relatable, loveable, and marketable athletes competing head-to-head, shrouded in respect and mutual admiration.

Athletics-wise, Nguyen has experienced her fair share of peaks and valleys, often alternating between wins and losses. Despite the results, Nguyen has a reputation for putting on fan-friendly fights and leaving everything in the Circle.

Conversely, Victoria Lee would again face a step up in competition, with Nguyen holding wins over notable names like Ritu Phogat.
