SINGAPORE – Get set for an electrifying night of Mixed-Martial Arts (MMA) action this Friday (May 26) when Asia’s top promotion ONE Championship rolls into town with ONE: Dynasty of Heroes. Headlining an exciting card at the 12,000-seater Singapore Indoor Stadium will be the much-anticipated five-round women’s atomweight championship clash between Singapore’s very own Angela “Unstoppable” Lee and Brazilian contender Istela Nunes.

ONE Championship CEO International Victor Cui has revealed why the Asian MMA promotion is not interested in UFC lightweight champion Conor McGregor. The Irishman is arguably the biggest combat star in the world today but many eyebrows were raised when ONE chairman and CEO Chatri Sityodtong said the Singapore-based promotion would never put an offer in front of McGregor.

Angela Lee’s focus is not so much on what she has already achieved in a short but spectacular career. It’s more on what lies ahead. “It’s been great so far but there’s still a long way to go,” says the 20-year-old. “I have so much more I want to achieve in this sport so this is just the beginning.”

Next weekend, ONE Championship welterweight world champion Ben Askren will defend his title against rising star, Agilan Thani. Askren has been on the sidelines for over a year having last defeated Nikolay Aleksakhin in April 2016.
