On May 6, 2016, Angela Lee became the youngest MMA world champion in history at just 19 years old when she defeated Mei Yamaguchi to win the inaugural ONE Women’s Atomweight MMA World Championship. The fight was highly competitive and showcased Angela’s striking, ground control, and submission attempts, earning her additional recognition as a well-rounded fighter.
