Mixed martial arts champ Angela Lee in Hawaii car accident
HONOLULU — Angela Lee, a Vancouver-born mixed martial arts fighter, is recovering after a car accident in Hawaii.
The Honolulu Star-Advertiser reported the One Championship female world atomweight champion will miss her title defence scheduled for Nov. 24 in Singapore.
One Championship CEO Chatri Sityodtong wrote on his Facebook page Lee was driving to training on Monday when she fell asleep. He said Lee suffered a concussion and some minor burns.
“If she was not wearing a seatbelt, it would have most certainly been a different story,” he said.
