This Friday, May 5, ONE Championship may make its debut in the United States with a stacked party in Denver, Colorado. However, it won’t feature two of the competition’s biggest stars, Hawaii-based relatives Angela and Christian Lee.
It is not surprising that Angela and Christian are not included on the cards.
Their 18-year-old girlfriend Victoria, who was also a ONE warrior, passed away in December of last year, and the sisters and their life have been in mourning ever since.
After the ONE Fight Night 10 pre-fight press conference on Wednesday, CEO and president of the promotion Chatri Sityodtong acknowledged that the Lee siblings played a significant role in the design of his team’s US introduction several years ago.
Angela Lee and Christian Lee would become fighting on the US album, according to his original plans from years past.
He continued,” I didn’t even bring it up or discuss it with them.” ” I really think that helping them in their time of need is the best thing we can do as lovers and as a company.” The process is lengthy.
Christian, 24, holds the award’s welterweight and lighter MMA championships, while Angela, 26, has long held the title of ONE.
