Late MMA fighter Victoria Lee: ONE Championship and Evolve gym announce award, scholarships in her name

“Angela, her family, and I have had multiple discussions over the last several months on the best way to honour Victoria’s life,” he added. “We would love to ensure that her legacy of selfless love, beautiful kindness and raw authenticity lives forever.

“Let us join hands with the Lee family to keep Victoria’s spirit alive every day around the world. Together, we can spread what Victoria started.

“Happy birthday, Victoria. We miss you more than words can express. We love you forever. Thank you for inspiring all of us.”

ONE’s atomweight MMA champion Angela Lee, 26, thanked Chatri and ONE in a post on Instagram “for joining my family in honouring Victoria for all she was and all she wished to accomplish”.

“I promise you sis, this is just the beginning. We will change the world, together,” she added.

In a separate social media post on Wednesday, Angela wished her “beautiful baby sis” Victoria a “happy heavenly birthday”.

“I feel so lucky and so grateful to have known someone as great as you. There is no one quite like you … I miss you so much,” she said.

“Today and every day, we celebrate you Victoria. Wise beyond your years and kind beyond compare.

“These are Victoria’s words that I would like to share: ‘Everything you do affects someone. Your words hold weight, even when you say it with no value, the people you love are listening. And it is only their ears that matter. Give credit to the people who shaped you and don’t hold back on praise. Because when your actions and words of love never show, no one knows if the love is real or even there.’

“The world needs more love and kindness. Let’s do our best to #LiveLikeVictoria.”
