MMA champion Angela Lee shows off incredible post-baby weight loss ahead of return to fighting
ONE CHAMPIONSHIP star Angela Lee showed off her incredible post-baby weight loss ahead of her MMA return.
The 115lb atomweight champion last fought in October 2019 dramatically submitting Xiong Jing Nan with ten seconds to go.
And this April Lee and her partner – fellow fighter Bruno Pucci – welcomed baby daughter Ava Marie into the world.
She recently celebrated nine months since giving birth and revealed her weight loss in that period.
Lee wrote on Instagram: “Yesterday Ava Marie made 9 months and wow, what a journey it has been for us! This picture really puts it all in perspective for me.
“On the left, I was 9 months pregnant with Ava, just days away from giving birth & on the right, is a picture we took today!
“Ava is 9 months old and it’s been 9 months postpartum for me. I am so grateful for this body of mine, that housed, nourished and protected my baby girl.
“I am definitely taking a lot better care of my body, nourishing it not just for me but also for Ava as I’m still breastfeeding and nursing her.

“We have gone through a lot and we have grown a lot together.
“I’m so proud of us! I love you baby girl, thank you for teaching me how to be a good momma to you.”
Lee, whose brother Christian is an ex-ONE champ, returns to headline in Singapore in against Stamp Fairtex – who has won her last three fights.
On the undercard, UFC legend Demetrious Johnson is set to face kickboxer Rodtang Jitmuangnon in a special-rules bout.
Amazingly, Johnson and Rodtang will compete in over four three-minute rounds, with the rules alternating from MMA to Muay Thai after each.
