What happens when the pressures of a sport, life, and being a champion become too much? What happens when the greatest family to have ever graced the world of MMA fractures at the core, the story of the Angela Lee is one of triumph but also one of great tragedy.
This has been the hardest video I have ever put together, but I hope that in recounting the story of the Angela Lee and the wider Lee family and in particular Angela that it can help raise awareness to an extremely important message. This video will contain subject matter that deals with very distressing topics so please consider how you may want to engage with this content.
And so to tell this story properly we have to go back to the beginning.
-
This video is not made in association with Fightstory, ONE Championship, or the Lee familly. It was made simply as a personal reflection of the Lee's family careers' and to hopefully raise money for Angela's Charity.

Truly floored to say that we managed to raise 512 dollars in just 3 hours of release! Just truly incredible. So I have now upped the goal to 1000. Honestly can't believe it. Thank you ever so much! EDIT: Looks like I am going to have to keep upping this goal becuase you guys are just that awesome, amazing amazing amazing. You have all given to an amazing cause. Love always, The Academic.

Thank YOU! Honestly, I have dreamt of making a KZfaq channel or blog about this sport we love so much. However, following your climb and the beautiful videos you have created leaves me with no choice but to bow and let the master take it away. Thank you for bringing awareness to the topic and the cause of the Lees. Thank you for your work. In the seemingly dark and brutish world of MMA, you bring such class ,gravity, and humanity to the sport and the stories of the fighters. Well done.

I knew this one was going to hurt, but I didn't realize just how much. I'm the oldest of 3 brothers, and I lost my little brother when he was entirely too young. My deepest sympathy goes out to Christian and Angela, as I understand their pain all too well. I hope the Lee's find peace and comfort somewhere along the way. The pain never goes away, not really, but you find a way to survive it and live life in a way that your lost loved ones would be proud to see.

@MixedMartialAcademic Thank you, sir. I've seen people in that state of absolute, insurmountable hopelessness, and it IS heartbreaking. Unfortunately, because of the subject matter, there will always be people that will see Victoria's actions as "selfish" through their own biases, but anyone with an ounce of empathy can try to understand that she must have felt like there was no other way to escape her torment. As sad as this video was, I appreciate that you showed the empathy she deserves, and it's really amazing that you're helping others find the charity created in Victoria's honor and memory.

@@MixedMartialAcademic Angela Lee has never fought challengers in her prime; she faced has-been set up by One FC considering she was the face of the SEA MMA Franchise (her only fault was defeating people who was placed in front of her); maybe a few in their prime was placed by ONE Championship but she defeated them convincingly within Strawweight Division. Ultimately the parents could have played a part in the mental health; to not have a social life with friends (if they have friends to begin with is starting to question in my brain) - no kids or teenager would love to train MMA as teenagers have what we call adolescence as she wanted to die in the car crash; so ultimately she just masked her childhood trauma to MMA while the younger sister couldn't be as strong as her older sister Angela and subsequently taking her life as her older sister told the world via "The Player's Tribute" - a news outlet made for athlete to put out any articles they want. Ultimately the father played a part of the problem for both Angela and Victoria.. Angela was the stronger one in mentally with better support staff and her sister wasn't afforded the same as her older sibling who is champion in their own right. Some parents love to place their expectations on their kids; I am from an Asian household; my parents thankfully is not those Tiger parents expecting me to be a doctor/engineer/lawyer but in the case of the Lee family (the father wanted to be a MMA fighter but couldn't make the grade so he made his kids to do what he failed to do) Not a shade towards Angela Lee nor Christian Lee :)

I still remember the tears I had watching Angela announce her retirement to fully dedicate herself to FightStory. I cried even more watching Stamp become a true successor to her hero. I don't really believe in fate, but Angela was meant for this. And Victoria was meant for her story to inspire an entire organization and those close to her to help others learn how to dig deep and seek the help they need. Their whole family, including Victoria, are champions way brighter than any gold on any belt.

I grew up fighting, boxing and did some mma fights and climbes as well took some falls in which my head bounced off the rock on the way down. I won't hit anyone in the head foe any reason other than self defense or mutual combat. The brain was not meant to be bounced off the inside of the skull and it is very difficult within the American Healthcare system to even differentiate between mental illness and the after effects of brain damage. What is known is TBI and PTSD have the same symptoms but the latter can be helped with counseling and the brain damage can only be helped with testosterone or other hormones or steroids and amphetamines and that is where having the government involved in medical treatment is insane. People who suffered head blows and are having mental illness there is a huge chance the mental illness is due to damage to the glands inside the brain that regulate hormones and other neurotransmitters. The only thing that is going to fix that is testosterone or hormones and amphetamine American doctors can't get away with that unless the patient is wealthy and does not need to use health insurance. So doctors fold to the DEA and allow these fighters to become depressed and suicidal and can't remember their kids names instead of using the one treatment that brings them back to normal. This is the reason older fighters do steroids and why older fighters make comebacks. They are self medicating using illegal steroids and street drugs because doing that makes them feel normal.and happy. There is no reason not to actually treat people who have suffered head blows in the one way we know works. It is a inessasary tragedy.

Dude, this story is heartbreaking. 18 is way too young to pass away. That girl seemed to have so much potential. I hope her family continues to thrive and keep going. I think mental health needs to be looked at more in fighters. I have a friend who is under contract with dana White. I've flown out to Vegas and attended an event and all that. I always think about him and hope he's doing good. Check on your friends people

Fighters go deep in the pursuit of their dreams, perhaps with an invisible weight on their shoulders that is breaking their back while they must still project strength. That part where Stramp say she wasn't good and Angela comforted her got me, people can be really lovely kind creaturea sometimes. I want to be more that way.

I knew this story, I had even donated when she opened her foundation, but I’ve been going through some mental distress recently, and this really made me think again about the things I was thinking of doing. Thanks, MMACademic, if this hadn’t crossed my feed today, If i hadn’t sat to watch it, just to have something in the background, I don’t know if I would have stopped crying in the past few hours, and this made me think that I don’t want to leave people behind. Thank you so much for your ending note, okay, I’ll keep writing.

Please don’t ever let this world exist with out you. You have important things left to achieve, challenges to conquer, and warmth to spread. You are important you really my friend. And remember, light holds substance, but the empty darkness defines it. Our best selves are made in our lowest moments. Look at Angela, imagine if she had succeed, what things we would have missed. I love you mate reach out to me if you need to.

I'm not into MMA or other fighting sport, just the casual watcher of videos like Top 10s of sports. But this story just broke me, it brought me to tears. My honest feelings to the Lee family for their loss. Watching the first part of the video I saw a cheerful, supportive and loving family, and Angela's strenght to talk openly with her story and the memory of Victoria led to an incredible realization, to start a supportive platform like FightStory. For me this is ultimate real strengh, to be supportive and caring to those who most need it. What a wonderful family. And I loved how you compilled this video and brought awereness to this incredible family from their achievements to losses, thank you so much!
