Rising MMA star Victoria Lee has died at 18, her family announced.
Lee’s sister Angela Lee, also a professional MMA fighter and One Championship atomweight title holder, made the announcement Saturday on Instagram.
“She has gone too soon and our family has been completely devastated since then,” Angela wrote. “We miss her…[m]ore 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.”
Before her death on Dec. 26, Victoria held a 3-0 record in the One Championship, South East Asia’s biggest fighting promotion, and was scheduled to fight again on January 14th.

Lee’s cause of death is being kept confidential by her family, but it’s worth noting that in recent months hundreds of athletes have dropped dead or collapsed on the field possibly due to due negative effects from the COVID vaccine.
In 2021, One Championship boss Chatri Sityodtong ordered all of the fighters on the roster to take the jab.
