Angela "Unstoppable" Lee, 20, is defending her ONE Women's Atomweight World Champion title against and two-time Muay Thai world champion Istela Nunes, 24, at "ONE Championship: Dynasty of Heroes." The match between the two undefeated fighters will take place on May 26 at the Singapore Indoor Stadium in Kallang, Singapore.

"I'm very excited to be jumping right back into the cage and defending my title for the second time," Lee said on April 26 during an international conference call arranged by ONE Championship. She added that her last fight was great and her upcoming fight against Nunes is going to be even better.

Before facing Nunes, Lee fought Jenny Huang at "ONE Championship: Warrior Kingdom" on March 11. Lee defeated Huang via submission.

"It's always such a treat for me to be fighting in Singapore. I have got support from all my family and my fans," Lee said. "Being the youngest MMA world champion, it was a dream come true for me. But this is just the beginning. I'm young, motivated, determined so I'm just getting started."
