Vancouver-born fighter Angela Lee to defend MMA title in Singapore
Some 2 1/2 months after a successful first title defence, Vancouver-born MMA fighter Angela Lee puts her One Championship atomweight crown on the line Friday in Singapore against Brazilian kickboxer Istela Nunes.
The clash between Lee (7-0-0) and Nunes (5-0-0) is the main event of “One: Dynasty of Heroes” at the Singapore Indoor Stadium.
“I know she’s coming into this fight confident and hungry to take my belt. But that’s not going to happen,” Lee said from Singapore. “I’m looking to put on a display of my skills.”
Lee, 20, became the promotion’s inaugural 105-pound champion with a unanimous five-round decision over Japanese veteran Mei Yamaguchi in Singapore in May 2016.
