As a wrestler at Mililani High School, Lee won an HHSAA championship in the 117-pound weight class in 2020. She signed her first professional mixed martial arts contract later that year at the age of 16, joining her two older siblings at ONE.
Lee went 3-0 as a professional, winning all three of her fights in 2021. All three fights were finished by Lee using different methods.
Her pro debut was a victory over Sunisa Srisan via rear-naked choke on Feb. 26, 2021. She followed that with an armbar submission over Wang Luping in the first round of a fight that took place on July 30, 2021. Lee then finished off a dominant 2021 with a TKO over Victoria Souza in the second round of a Sept. 24 bout. All three of her ONE fights took place in Singapore.
After not fighting in 2022, Lee was set to take on Zeba Bano on Jan. 14, 2023 at ONE on Prime Video 6 in Bangkok, Thailand.
Lee seemed to be on a fast track to MMA stardom, a path that was cultivated by her parents, Ken and Jewelz, as well as siblings Christian, younger brother Adrian, and Angela and her husband, Bruno Pucci, who also competes in ONE Championship.
At her young age, Victoria Lee was considered to be an MMA phenom. She finishes her career undefeated, though it ended far sooner than fans of the sport thought it would.
Angela Lee’s statement is below:
“On December 26, 2022 our family experienced something no family should ever have to go through… It is incredibly difficult to say this…
Our Victoria passed away.
She has gone too soon and our family has been completely devastated since then. We miss her. More than anything in this world. Our family will never be the same. Life will never be the same.
Victoria was the most beautiful soul who ever lived. She was the best little sister in the world. The best daughter, the best granddaughter and the best godma / aunty to Ava and Alia.
We miss you so much sis. More than you could ever realize. We’re all broken. Because a piece of you was in each of us and when you left, those pieces were ripped out of us. We will never be the same.
Each and every little thing makes me think of you. From the sun rays, to the sunset. You taught us to see the beauty in the simple things. You were our bright light. Our sunshine. And that will never change. You were perfect in every way. The best person I knew. The most beautiful girl, inside and out.
We love you Victoria. I love you Sprout. Until the end of time.
Please give our family grace and respect during this most difficult time. And please, check on your loved ones. Keep checking on them. Give them hugs and tell them how much they mean to you. You just never know.”
That girl sure looks healthy...

How very sad. Will there be an autopsy on this otherwise healthy looking baby? I’d like to hear about the condition of her blood at the time of death.
Uh huh.
“Before her death, Victoria held a 3-0 record in the One Championship which is South East Asia’s biggest fighting promotion.”
“Previously One Championship boss Chatri Sityodtong ordered all of the fighters on One’s roster to get vaccinated.”

Safe and effective! For her to compete in tournaments, vaxxxes might have been required.
Sounds like drugs or suicide.
The Jab or suicide.
The trend isn’t abating, and that’s not only trouble for the ignorant victims, but the perps as well.
Doctors are baffled...
You’d rather insult her legacy than consider the possibility of SADS?
The COVID jab is a suicide drug. So yeah, both.
Difficult to say, I believe the article sets some sort of record for irrelevant bullshit content.
did she die from unexpectedly or suddenly???

Two thoughts. What kind of society has it’s little girls beat each other like gladiators for our entertainment? Two, wasn’t Hawaii ground zero for corona crazy, shots and all?
18 yro athletes die all the time....whats the big deal?
Either that or a previously undiagnosed heart condition. Oddly enough otherwise healthy seeming people including athletes have died suddenly before the existence of Covid shots.
