BIOGRAPHY AND WIKIPEDIA: Fans push 'vaccine narrative' as cause of death after MMA fighter, Victoria Lee, died suddenly

Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Fans push 'vaccine narrative' as cause of death after MMA fighter, Victoria Lee, died suddenly.

“She has gone too soon and our family has been completely devastated since then,” wrote her sister, Angela, in an Instagram post on Saturday. “We miss her … [m]ore than anything in this world. Our family will never be the same. Life will never be the same. Victoria was the most beautiful soul who ever lived. She was the best little sister in the world.”

Lee was born and raised in Hawaii, where she was part of a family with a strong MMA pedigree. Angela holds the ONE Championship atomweight world title while their brother, Christian, is the ONE lightweight champion. ONE is the largest MMA promotion in Asia.

Victoria Lee had been tipped to join her siblings as a world champion and was nicknamed “The Prodigy”. She won her first three fights in ONE but had taken time off in 2022 to concentrate on graduating from high school. She was also a junior world champion in the modern variant of pankration, a form of ancient Greek wrestling.

Lee was closely involved with her siblings’ careers and would bake cakes for them after fights. In December she said her brother’s recent world title win was an inspiration.

“I’m so proud of my big brother,” she said. “Just being able to be in the gym and watch him grind and push so hard in all of his training sessions, and watch the fight and see it play out so beautifully.”

ONE chairman Chatri Sityodtong also paid tribute to Lee. “I first met Victoria when she was 11 years old,” he wrote in a Facebook post. “I watched her blossom over the years as a martial artist and a human being. I always remember thinking how wise, thoughtful, and selfless she was beyond her years. Of course, she was an extraordinary martial arts prodigy even back then, but I could see that she was so much more than that. Victoria had the purest heart of gold and a brilliant mind. She looked after others before herself. She wanted to use her life to help the world. I will always remember Victoria for the beautiful and precious soul that she was.”

“You were our bright light. Our sunshine. And that will never change. You were perfect in every way. The best person I knew. The most beautiful girl, inside and out.

“We love you Victoria. I love you Sprout. Until the end of time.”

Angela, who didn’t specify how the teenager died, was inundated with condolences and well wishes from the MMA community and high-profile figures such as Ariel Helwani, who said: “An unspeakable tragedy. May she rest in peace.”

Victoria Lee followed in her older siblings’ footsteps when she signed with ONE Championship in 2020. Sister Angela Lee is the current atomweight champion while brother Christian Lee holds the lightweight championship.

ONE Championship CEO Chatri Sityodtong praised the then-16-year-old prodigy as the “single greatest pound-for-pound female prospect in the world.”

She had a 3-0 professional record before her death. Lee made her mixed martial arts debut in 2021, defeating Sunisa Srian by rear-naked choke. She last fought in September 2021 as she balanced mixed martial arts and her studies.

“I am heartbroken by Victoria Lee’s passing,” Sityodtong said Saturday. “I first met Victoria when she was 11 years old. I watched her blossom over the years as a martial artist and a human being. I always remember thinking how wise, thoughtful, and selfless she was beyond her years. 

“Of course, she was an extraordinary martial arts prodigy even back then, but I could see that she was so much more than that. Victoria had the purest heart of gold and a brilliant mind. She looked after others before herself. She wanted to use her life to help the world. I will always remember Victoria for the beautiful and precious soul that she was.”
