ONE women's atomweight world champion Angela Lee is a member of perhaps the most lethal fighting family today.
Aside from being a world champion herself, Lee is the older sister of ONE lightweight and welterweight world champ Christian Lee. On top of that, Ken Lee, the patriarch and the head coach of all the Lee siblings, is a black belt in Jiujitsu.
Aside from having two world champions and a blackbelt head of the family, the Lee family also has two MMA prodigies, Victoria Lee and Adrian Lee. Adrian is the focus of the family's recent successes. The young amateur MMA sensation recently won a championship belt in the amateur ranks.

Angela Lee recently posted about his baby brother's victory at the Tough Man Hawaiian Show in Hilo, Hawaii. Adrian won his bout via a second-round guillotine choke:
"BIG CONGRATUTLATIONS to these two young men right here! Last night, Bruno, Ava and I flew over 32 hours from Brazil straight to Hilo to watch @adrianleemma and @achiever.mma compete in the Tough Man Hawaii Show! 👊🏼💥 Adrian was the main event and he won the belt and world title via second round Guillotine! It was an amazing fight and I'm gonna try to find that footage to share with you all 🙌🏼"
The future is indeed bright for Adrian Lee and his teammate, Elias Kaohu Wachi. It looks like another Lee could be entering the ONE Championship Circle very soon and take the sport by storm. It's only a matter of time.
Danielle Kelly calls out Angela Lee after impressive victory at ONE on Prime Video 4
Atomweight submission grappling star Danielle Kelly put on a magnificent showing at ONE on Prime Video 4, submitting sambo world champion Mariia Molchanova in just over two minutes.
After winning the match and receiving a sweet $50,000 bonus for it, Danielle Kelly made a bold call-out of ONE atomweight queen Angela Lee for a submission grappling showdown inside the Circle:
“Angela [Lee] called me out, said she could submit me, so come prove it. I’m ready.”
Danielle Kelly and Angela Lee have been on a verbal collision course since Kelly joined ONE earlier this year.
Lee mentioned in previous interviews that she believed she could beat Danielle Kelly in a submission grappling match. She even said that she might submit her, which, of course, Kelly took offense to. The beef started there and it got more and more intense as the months went by.
If and when the two finally lock horns inside the Circle, it should make for an exciting clash of styles. Whether it takes place in submission grappling, MMA or mixed rules format remains to be seen. Kelly has expressed her intentions to transition into MMA, where Lee is one of the most dominant champions.
