9 Moments Where MMA Fighters And Their Babies Will Melt Your Heart

ONE Women's Atomweight World Champion Angela Lee with her daughter

ONE Championship’s mixed martial arts superstars love testing their skills against world-class athletes.

But if there’s one thing these tough warriors enjoy even more than competing, it’s spending quality time with their little bundles of joy.

Fighters also have soft sides, and it’s clear that their baby boys and girls melt their hearts. And after looking at these nine pictures and videos, they’ll likely melt yours, too.

Angela Lee & Bruno Pucci With Their Daughter

ONE Women’s Atomweight World Champion “Unstoppable” Angela Lee couldn’t have asked for a better 24th birthday.

She celebrated the occasion with her husband, ONE bantamweight Bruno “Puccibull” Pucci, and her baby girl, Ava Marie. And, as always, the atomweight queen got in touch with her inner foodie.

Christian Lee With His Wife & Daughter

In the wake of his successful ONE Lightweight World Title defense against Timofey Nastyukhin at “ONE on TNT II,” Christian “The Warrior” Lee is taking a break from the gym to enjoy some time with his family in Hawaii.

In this pic, the lightweight king is cruising the ocean with his wife, Katie, and his newborn daughter, Alia Mae. And if you scroll to the second picture, it appears Alia Mae is already perfecting her selfie game.

Reinier De Ridder With His Son & Daughter

When two-division ONE World Champion Reinier “The Dutch Knight” de Ridder isn’t busy winning gold, he’s busy being a dad to his toddler daughter, Victoria, and his baby son, Maximus.

The middleweight and light heavyweight king is playing with his kids in these pictures, but it seems like Maximus is eager to escape his father’s hug and take his big sister’s toy.

Aung La N Sang With His Son & Daughter

Former two-division ONE World Champion Aung La “The Burmese Python” N Sang was all smiles in late May as he celebrated Memorial Day in Florida, USA, with his son, Aung De, and his daughter, San Seng.

Since relocating to Florida to train at Sanford MMA, the Myanmar sports icon has taken full advantage of the “Sunshine State,” and his family clearly loves the beach.

Brandon Vera With His Wife & Son

Aung La N Sang isn’t the only ONE athlete celebrating American holidays.

Former heavyweight king Brandon “The Truth” Vera had a nice family photo shoot with his wife, Jessica, and their little bundle of joy, Atreyu. Needless to say, Atreyu is looking quite patriotic!

Eko Roni Saputra With His Son

Eko Roni Saputra has quickly emerged as Indonesia’s top flyweight mixed martial artist, and his son, Leon, often helps him stay fit.

In this clip, the Indonesian Wrestling Champion is doing some push-ups at Marina Bay Sands in Singapore while enjoying a view of the water. For some extra weight, his baby boy is on his back (thankfully, he didn’t put dad in a rear-naked choke).

Kevin Belingon With His Daughter

Former ONE Bantamweight World Champion Kevin “The Silencer” Belingon loves enjoying the nature of Baguio City, Philippines, and from the looks of it, so does his daughter, Kelsey.

Team Lakay’s athletes frequently go for runs and bike rides through the forest, but on this day, Belingon and his baby girl went for a hike – and they certainly seemed to enjoy it.

Eduard Folayang With His Wife & 3 Daughters

Filipino martial arts icon Eduard “Landslide” Folayang and his family dressed to impress at a recent birthday party.

The impromptu group portrait features the former lightweight king, his wife, Genevieve, and their three daughters: Yeshuareigns, Yahamaziach, and new addition, Yvah Elyonah.

Gina Iniong And Her Daughter

Gina “Conviction” Iniong is on the comeback trail.

After giving birth to her first child, a lovely daughter named Gianna, the Filipina is getting back into tip-top shape in hopes of making a run at the atomweight gold.

Iniong’s “little boss” is even doing her part by helping mom do some squats.
