JAKARTA - A mixed martial arts athlete at ONE Championship Victoria Lee died at the age of 18. The cause of death of the young fighter in the atomweight class is still mysterious.

Victoria reportedly breathed her last on December 26, 2022. Angela's eldest sister, who is also a mixed martial arts athlete, confirmed the news on Instagram social media.

"On December 26, 2022, our family experienced something that no other family should have experienced. It's very difficult to say this. Victoria we died," wrote Angela, quoted by The Sun.

Victoria Lee's death in Hawaii was publicly announced by the Valley of the Temples Memorial Park at Kaneohe on Friday. However, the cause of death was not published.

Victoria, who was born in Hawaii, represents the United States and Singapore as members of the MMA and Evolve MMA United teams. He is listed as an assistant instructor at the Evolve MMA, a self-defense gym network in Singapore.

"He left too soon and our family was completely devastated since then. We miss him. More than anything in this world. Our family will never be the same again. Life will never be the same again," Angela wrote.

Selama kariernya di ONE Championship, Victoria total meraih tiga kemenangan. Kemenangan terakhir ia dapat saat mengalahkan Victoria Souza lewat technical knock out (TKO) di round kedua pada September 2021.

According to the South China Morning Post, he is scheduled to compete in his fourth professional MMA fight, against Zeba Bano of India, at ONE on Prime Video 6 on January 14 in Bangkok.

Victoria, dubbed "The Prodigy", is the younger brother of ONE Championship welter champion Christian Lee.

He made his professional MMA debut in February 2021 by defeating Sunisa Srisen from Thailand.

The fight between the two took place in July of the same year. At that time he again scored a submission victory with an armbar against Chinese fighter Wang Luping in less than four minutes.
