"I truly value peace" - Angela Lee shares how she found contentment after retiring from MMA

Former ONE atomweight MMA world champion Angela Lee is enjoying the spoils of retirement from the sport she still loves even to this day. While her fighting days inside the Circle are over, the 28-year-old is finding joy and fulfillment through other philanthropic ways.

'Unstoppable' recently sat down with ONE flyweight MMA world champion Demetrious Johnson on his MightyCast podcast and shared what makes her happy these days:

"Right now, at this point in my life, I truly value peace. Yeah, absolutely. You know peace of mind and real relationships like speaking to people I can connect with, who understand me, who listen. I can understand them."

Angela Lee has felt the highest of the highs during her illustrious MMA career in the world's largest martial arts organization.

The Singaporean-American became the youngest MMA champion in the promotion's history at 19, went to defend that belt five times, and became an inspiration and role model to millions of fans across the globe.

However, she also endured some turbulent times behind the bright lights, a side which she bravely shared with the rest of the world.

Now, Angela Lee is focusing on becoming the best mother to Ava Marie and the best wife to Bruno Pucci.

Angela Lee has no regrets about her fighting career

Angela Lee will forever be grateful for the impact of mixed martial arts on her professional and personal life. In the same interview, the former atomweight MMA queen shared how lucky she is to make a name for herself in the sport:

"After fighting, I was able to find passion in connecting with people, sharing their stories, and just listening. Man, it's really crazy. I look at it and see where I'm at now and seeing just a few years ago where I should be. I mean, I love fighting. It's amazing. It gave me so many opportunities. It gave me my husband."
