Victoria Lee is set to make her first appearance inside the circle in more than a year on January 13. ‘The Prodigy’ will make her women’s strawweight debut against India’s Zeba ‘Fighting Queen’ Bano when ONE Championship returns for ONE on Prime Video 6.
Ahead of her highly anticipated return, Lee spoke with ONE Championship about the success of the Lee family under the ONE banner. Specifically that of her older brother Christian Lee who made history in November, becoming a two-division world champion.
“It showed the heart of a true champion. It was really inspiring in general. The way that he was able to push through and fight through that adversity and come out on top was just an amazing finish really.”
Facing adversity early in their ONE on Prime Video 4 main event, reigning ONE lightweight world champion Christian Lee weathered the storm and came back to capture his second ONE world title in spectacular fashion against the former welterweight king, Kiamrian Abbasov.

Victoria Lee will look to keep the Lee family dynasty on top. Starting her professional career at just 16 years old, ‘The Prodigy’ is fresh out of high school and ready to earn her fourth straight victory in MMA.
Christian Lee sees big things for sister Victoria Lee
Christian and Angela Lee have built a dynasty within the world of mixed martial arts after capturing three world championships between them in ONE Championship, but if you ask Christian Lee, younger sister Victoria Lee may very well become the best of them all. Speaking with the South China Morning Post,
‘The Warrior’ marveled at his sister's work ethic and the early success she has experienced inside the circle.
"Victoria has done such a great job in her short career here so far. I'm really proud of how hard she's working every day. She's really just putting her head down and just putting in the work. She's in the gym for like six hours a day. She's training more hours than any of us. Between me and my sister [Angela], [Victoria's] really just always in the gym, always working and I think it's really showing."
Victoria Lee is currently undefeated in her combat sports career, earning victories over Sunisa Srisen, Wang Luping, and Victoria Souza all before graduating high school. The teenage sensation will look to keep the streak going in the new year against Indian ‘Fighting Queen’ Zeba Bano at ONE on Prime Video 6.
