Angela, on the other hand, discussed her thoughts on the recently concluded quarterfinal round of the ONE Women’s Atomweight World Grand Prix, being a fighter and how training has changed for her now as a mother, as well as her impending return to the Circle.
Touching on how motherhood has been life changing for her and how she's had to adapt, Angela shared: "Motherhood is amazing. It has definitely changed me. It’s different training now. Definitely have to schedule things far in advance. Everything needs to be flexible because of the baby."

"But I’m very excited to get back in there. I’ve started to train again alongside my brother and sister as they get ready for their fights. After this event in September, we are going to be kicking it into gear and getting my fight camp started. I'm very excited about that. I think fighting in February is going to be great for me. It is going to give me even more time to come back even stronger," she added.
Her brother Christian Lee, is excited to have his younger sister Victoria share a card with her, saying: "With me being the champion, headlining this event, I'm really excited to have Victoria with me as well. We're going to put on a great show for the fans. I'm excited to be heading to Singapore together with her."

When asked about Eddie Alvarez fighting his way to contention, Christian replied: "That's definitely a fight the fans want to see. All we're really waiting for is for Eddie to win a fight, and then we'll make it happen. I'm not looking past Ok Rae Yoon, at all. But once I get past my next opponent and defend my belt, then I'm looking forward to seeing what Eddie can do in the division."
Newcomer and rising star Victoria is understandably excited ahead of her bout at the end of this month. Slowly easing her way into the competition as she gains more experience, she opined: "Going into my third bout, I feel more comfortable. There’s a lot less 'newness' to everything. I feel that I have been able to improve on my second camp and this camp has been going on smoothly."

Victoria is also definitely not underestimating her opponent Victoria Souze, adding: "I think that my next opponent is tough. She has a 5-0 record and I think it is going to be an exciting match because we are both finishers and I don’t think it is going to go the distance. For this match, I plan on finishing her in the first round."
