|
Angela Lee (born July 8, 1996) is a Canadian-American mixed martial artist of Asian descent. She was born in Vancouver but moved to Hawaii at the age of 7. Her father is from Singapore and her mother from South Korea; both are martial artists, so she began training at a very young age and competing at the age of 6. Her younger brother Christian Lee is also an MMA fighter and she has two younger siblings who both train in martial arts.
In 2011, Lee won her division at the USA Amateur pankration national championships, and she followed that the next year by winning her division at the World Pangration Athlima Federation world championships in Greece. On May 5, 2016, she became the youngest person to ever win a world title in MMA by defeating Mei Yamaguchi to win the ONE Women's Atomweight (115 lbs) Title. As of May 2016, Fight Matrix ranks her #17 female MMA Strawweight (115 lbs) in the world.
