Brother-sister duo Angela and Christian Lee have been a dominant force in combat sports.

In 2015, Angela Lee was the first member of the Lee family dynasty to debut in ONE Championship. Quickly establishing her dominance inside the circle, ‘Unstoppable’ became the promotion’s first atomweight world championship. To this day, she remains the only woman to hold that title.

Next in line to break into ONE Championship was Angela Lee’s younger brother, Christian Lee. At just 24 years old, ‘The Warrior’ has an incredible 20 fights inside the circle and has established himself as the most prolific finisher in ONE history.

As the reigning lightweight champion, Christian Lee will go for two-division glory on November 18 when he challenges welterweight titleholder Kiamrian Abbasov at ONE on Prime Video 4, which by the way, is available live and free to North American audiences with a Prime Video subscription.

The brother and sister duo are ushering in the next generation of the Lee family in younger sister Victoria Lee and younger brother, Adrian Lee. Only 18 years of age, Victoria Lee has earned three victories under the ONE Championship banner, all before even graduating high school.

Adrian Lee will be next in line to call ONE Championship home. Yet to make his first appearance in the promotion, Christian Lee says that Adrian’s debut in the circle is inevitable during a conversation with The MMA Super Fan:

“Yeah, my brother, he’s on his way there. He’s gonna be the next big thing in ONE Championship for sure.”

Christian Lee is confident in the skills of his younger sister Victoria Lee

Even before the age of 18, prodigy Victoria Lee wowed fans on her ONE Championship debut. Delivering a second-round submission against Sunisa Srisen, Lee had introduced herself as the next generation of supremacy inside the Circle.

She quickly followed up her debut with another submission over Wang Luping. Not content with just showing off her skills on the ground, ‘The Prodigy’ returned for the third time in 2021 and earned the first knockout of her MMA career over Victoria Souza.

Since then, Lee has been on the sidelines, focusing on finishing high school and taking time away to enjoy life. In an interview with ONE, Victoria’s older brother Christian Lee spoke about his sister’s time away and her potential to be the next big women’s MMA star:

“Victoria is doing good. Yeah, she's just taking a little bit of time off. She started fighting at 16 years old, which is extremely young to start off your professional career, so she's just taking some time off right now. But you know, if and when she decides to step back into the circle, she's going to do amazing.”
