But, while on top, Victoria Lee made a surprising decision. She put her MMA career on hold because she wanted to focus on finishing high school.
Previously, Victoria Lee had said that it was difficult for her to divide her time between education and training. Therefore, she wanted to focus on her education first. “When I was fighting at school, I had a hard time dividing my time between education and training. So was the time to do homework," Victoria told ONE Championship.
Until her death on December 26, 2022, Victoria Lee had not fought officially. Three consecutive victories are the most impressive record she has made in the world of MMA.
One Championship Chief Executive Officer Chatri Sityodtong thinks Victoria Lee is a great female fighter. She has a magical way of fighting.
"An amazing martial arts prodigy. Watching her develop over the years as a martial artist and human being," Chatri was quoted as saying by Tmz.
"I will always remember Victoria for her beautiful and precious soul. May you rest in peace, Victoria. We will all miss you."
