Angela Lee breaks out the twister

Angela Lee may be going back to teaching a class in the gym, but she already put out a masterclass at ONE X for everyone to see.

It was widely expected that Lee’s contest with Stamp would be a grappler versus striker match, and it did play out that way for the most part.

Stamp got her offense in while they were on their feet and almost had Lee in trouble with a liver shot in the first round. However, 'Unstoppable' recovered and put on a grappling clinic for the rest of the match.

In the second round, Lee broke out the vaunted twister and appeared to have locked Stamp in it.

The twister is an advanced submission hold that involves a sideways body bend and neck crank. Theoretically, it’s a move that could inflict tremendous pain and lead to an easy tapout, but it’s almost impossible to pull off in an actual match.

One of Lee’s early glimpses of brilliance came when she pulled off the move to capture the win in just her third match in the promotion. Against Stamp, though, it wasn’t enough.

Speaking to reporters after the bout, Angela Lee shared her thoughts on what happened when she did it in the match.

Lee said:

“That was definitely one of the moves we were practicing for that fight. I didn’t quite have it cinched in on the legs, and so when I was cranking, I was just going through the submission but I kind of knew that I didn’t have it in 100 percent. And I knew she was tough too, so she wouldn’t tap so easily.”
