Her expertise in seamlessly blending different aspects of her game and her champion’s heart are just two that spring to mind immediately.
She exhibits an endless array of traits that prove she is a superstar every time she steps inside the Circle. What combat sports fans don’t see, however, is how she gets herself mentally and physically prepared to do so.
Anatomy of a Fighter: Angela Lee’s return
But a recent documentary, released by Anatomy of a Fighter, captures this process with excellence.
“The comeback story of ‘Unstoppable’ Angela Lee” – which dropped on Wednesday, September 27 – follows the Singaporean-American athlete as she prepares for her return to action against Stamp Fairtex at ONE X this past March, following a two-and-a-half-year break from competition.
The 39-minute video sheds light on “Unstoppable’s” mindset throughout her training camp, gives fans a glimpse of what goes on the mats inside United MMA, and breaks down how the mother of one balances her career with her home life.
Raising a young daughter while getting ready for a World Title defense is no easy task, and throughout the documentary, there are short interviews with her husband, Bruno Pucci, brother, Christian Lee, and father, Ken Lee, that help to highlight just how the “Mom-Champ” does it.
Other clips featured are her ONE Championship debut against Aya Saber, her post-fight interview after claiming the inaugural ONE Atomweight World Title, and her comeback fight victory over Stamp.
The release of the fascinating film comes just in time for another pivotal moment in Lee’s career.

A big task awaits Angela Lee
At ONE on Prime Video 2, the 26-year-old hopes to make history by claiming the ONE Strawweight World Title against “The Panda” Xiong Jing Nan and become the promotion’s first female two-division MMA World Champion.
The fight, which broadcasts on U.S. primetime this Friday, September 30, will be the third time she has faced the Chinese superstar, and the second time she has challenged her for the strawweight gold after falling short in her first attempt back in March 2019.

If she can produce the same level of performance that she did against Stamp earlier this year, there is every reason to believe that “Unstoppable” can unlock yet another significant milestone inside the ONE Circle.
