Lee certainly sems happy to return to the gym and spar with the best teammates anyone could ask for.

The 25-year-old has raked in many accomplishments over the years. She’s a decorated two-time World Pankration Champion, a Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt, a former 2013 Hawaii state wrestling champion, and in 2016 became the youngest person in MMA history to capture a world title.

A phenom in evert sense of the word, Lee has accomplished more than what the average person achieves in a lifetime.

However, her most impressive victory to date was her latest world title defense at ONE X. 'Unstoppable' faced former two-sport world champion Stamp Fairtex with her ONE ttomweight world title on the line.

Avoiding the grappling prowess of the champion, Stamp tried her best to keep the fight standing.

The Muay Thai striker found some success in her stand-up which almost landed her with a finish. However, 'Unstoppable' proved her mettle by retaining her belt with a rear-naked choke to end matters in the second round.
