Ahead of the pair’s meeting on ONE’s 10-year anniversary show, Victoria weighed in on why she thinks the longtime division queen is on a different level compared to the contender.
“Well, my sister’s been training really hard for this event. She’s been training like three times a day for the past, I don’t know five weeks and we’re still five weeks out,” the 17-year-old athlete said.
“I feel really lucky to be able to train with my sister. She’s helped me so much when I was starting my career and just to be another training partner for her and to just push her in some rounds, it really means a lot because I look up to her so much, and anything I can do to help her, I’m just happy to do.”
“And so I think when she steps into the Circle, she’s going to be extremely prepared physically, mentally, and emotionally. Just all around.”
Victoria Lee’s analysis on Angela Lee vs. Stamp Fairtex
Victoria understands her sister’s arsenal to a full extent. The second youngest Lee sibling also knows that a fired-up “Unstoppable” is a force to be reckoned with in the ONE atomweight division.
However, the teenage phenom is aware that Stamp’s striking is something that her sister must deal with if she wants to hold her fort at the top of the atomweight division.
“Stamp is a really talented fighter. She’s well-rounded. But obviously, her strength is in the striking,” the United MMA and Evolve MMA standout offered. “And I think that when my sister fights her, she’s going to expose weaknesses in her wrestling, in her jiu-jitsu, in her stand up as well. And mainly her transitions because her transitions are seamless.”
