One of the brightest young stars in MMA, ONE Championship atomweigt Victoria Lee has tragically passed away over the weekend. She was only 18.
Lee's death was confirmed via the following Instagram post on Saturday from her elder sister, current ONE atomweight champion, Angela Lee, revealing the 18-year-old Waipahu, Hawaii native died on December 26. She is also the younger sister of ONE welterweight champion Christian Lee. No official cause of death has yet been released. ONE Championship themselves also posted a press release regarding Lee's passing.
Lee burst onto the scene after making her pro debut at ONE Championship 129 in February 2021 where she submitted Sunisa Srisan in the second round, and would go undefeated in her three promotional appearances. Her last fight sadly came at ONE Championship 143 in September 2021 where she defeated Victória Souza via a second-round TKO.
Our entire team at Fightful would like to express our condolences to the Lee family, as well as to any of Victoria's friends and peers.
