The fervor surrounding Angela Lee continues to build.

Lee submitted Parana Vale Tudo prospect Istela Nunes with a second-round anaconda choke to retain her atomweight title in the One Championship “Dynasty of Heroes” headliner on Friday at Singapore Indoor Stadium in Kallang, Singapore. Souza (5-1) conceded defeat 2:18 into Round 2.

The 20-year-old Lee (8-0) short-circuited the Brazilian’s standup advances with takedowns. She threatened to end it with a twister in the first round before forcing it to the ground again in the second.
