In an interview with the South China Morning Post following ONE Fight Night 8, Tammi said:

Tammi Musumeci wants to follow in Lee family footsteps, win world titles with brother Mikey

At ONE Fight Night 8, Tammi Musumeci made her ONE Championship debut. After winning her first contest inside the circle against Bianca Basilio, Tammi revealed that she has drawn inspiration from the Lee family.

Through their individual careers, Angela and Christian Lee have established a dynasty in ONE Championship with both siblings becoming big stars for the promotion and winning world championships.

Tammi’s younger brother Mikey Musumeci is a few steps down that path already thanks to him competing in ONE Championship much longer than his older sister.

As the reigning ONE flyweight submission grappling world champion, he is right at the forefront of the sport, helping to grow submission grappling and show that ONE is the home of the best competitors on the planet regardless of the martial arts discipline.

Looking to follow in the footsteps of the Lee family and replicate their success, Tammi has dreams of becoming a world champion so that she can stand shoulder to shoulder with her brother.

After her win at ONE Fight Night 8, she said:

“It would mean so much to me to become a champion like my brother. It would be similar to what the Lee family has accomplished, and that would be really cool.”

Christian and Angela Lee are unquestionably two of the greatest fighters in ONE Championship’s history. Both siblings have impressive resumes of finishes that have seen Angela hold the ONE women’s atomweight world championship whilst Christian currently holds both the lightweight and welterweight world titles.
