There is a new Lee in ONE Championship, and given her pedigree it might not be long until she turns heads in The Home Of Martial Arts. 

Sixteen-year-old prodigy Victoria Lee has signed with the largest martial arts organization in the world.

The news was announced by ONE Chairman and CEO Chatri Sityodtong in a Facebook post on Wednesday.

Victoria is the younger sister of two World Champions – ONE Women’s Atomweight World Champion “Unstoppable” Angela Lee and ONE Lightweight World Champion Christian “The Warrior” Lee.

Although Lee will try follow the footsteps of her Word Champion siblings, she might already belong in the same league.

“It might be impossible to believe, but Victoria is already better than Angela was at the same age,” Sityodtong said in his Facebook post.

“She will be competing in the stacked atomweight division. For me, Victoria is arguably the single greatest pound-for-pound female prospect in the world today.”

The 16-year-old is also more than just Angela or Christian’s younger sister – she is a two-time Pankration Junior World Champion, a 2019 Hawaii State Wrestling Champion, and a 2019 IMMAF Junior World Champion.

Now she joins a stacked roster bannered by her older sister and dangerous challengers like Denice “The Menace” Zamboanga, Meng Bo, and Lin "MMA Sister" Heqin.

Victoria’s debut hasn’t yet been scheduled.

In the meantime, Watch the previously recorded ONE: A NEW BREED III this Friday, 18 September, on One Sports or One Sports+ at 8:30 p.m. Philippine Standard Time (PHT). TV5 will also air the event on a next-day delay at 11 p.m. PHT on Saturday, September 19.
