FloCombat Fights of 2016: Angela Lee vs. Mei Yamaguchi
One of 2016 top fights took place between Angela Lee and Mei Yamaguchi.
It's be a crazy year for ONE Championship over in Asia.
The promotion benefitted from big time investment while their largest competitors, the Ultimate Fighting Championship, have seemingly taken a step back from their operations in the region.
During this time, ONE Championship have seemingly stumbled over their biggest homegrown star, Angela Lee.
ONE held their first ever women's title fight on May 6 this year with the 19-year-old Lee taking on a very tough, wily Japanese veteran, Mei Yamaguchi.
Many thought it would be a cakewalk for their younger fighter Lee, but this one turned out to be a five-round war. Lee was put in deep waters like never before, but after being knocked down and put in an armbar that couldn't have been any tighter, the teenage prodigy prevailed and somehow took the pace to a whole new level in rounds four and five to edge the decision.
It was close and dramatic, and best of all, you can enjoy the full fight on the ONE Championship YouTube page.
